What’s new in version 0.7.4 Updated on Version 0.7.4: Release notes were unavailable when this listing was updated. It manages every song you play in iTunes, iPod and iPhone. So now, through the miracle of Technology, you can see exactly what I’ve been playing recently. For what that’s worth. Given that most of the time I have my iPod on shuffle (of currently 8,999 songs) you’re still only really seeing Apple’s choice and not mine – and I don’t think that is entirely random. Still, it’s kinda fun. ScrobblePod is a music scrobbler for Last.fm.
#Iscrobbler trial#
More trawling, and I found myself back at Last.fm, reading up on iSproggler, which sounded a bit more promising (plus, I reasoned, if it was touted directly from the Last.fm page, it had to be compatible). So I downloaded and installed that, and gave it a go. After much trial and error, I worked out that if I disabled Last.fm’s scrobbler (to avoid a double-word score), and made sure I sync’d my Recently Played list between iTunes and my iPod, it worked! Hurrah! (I’m slightly miffed that it won’t import my entire history from iTunes, but I guess that’s a minor quibble.) Very nice!īut then I noticed that it wasn’t tracking what I played on my iPod – only what I played via iTunes. Given that I do most of my listening on my iPod (thanks to a nice relaxed regime at work that allows me to sit there wired for sound all day) this struck me as a major shortfall. After a couple of hours of trawling through the Last.fm FAQ and support forums, I learnt that iScrobbler would pick up your iPod plays as well. So I downloaded and installed that, but all it seemed to do was scrobble (as they term sending details of what you play to a server) everything twice (presumably once by Last.fm’s scrobbler, and once by iScrobbler), which was crappy, so I promptly uninstalled it. Then last week a buddy responded to a post of mine in the Music category, mentioning Last.fm which he said tracked people’s listening habits. I checked it out and saw that it built personal listening charts that you could put on your Weblog, so I signed up, and downloaded the software, to see what it would do. Sure enough, with almost no effort on my part (always a key factor!) it tracked whatever I listened to through iTunes, and built me a nice Ten Most Recently Played table (albeit with what seems like an hour’s delay) that I could then include in my ‘blog sidebar (look, there it is down on the bottom right of this page!). Ever since I got my iPod I’ve wanted to find a way to list my ‘recently played’ tracks on this Blogsite. There are a few WordPress plugins and widgets that claim to do this, but they all seemed overly-complicated, requiring additional e-mail accounts, modified server permissions, and god knows what else. So what with having a life to live and all, I never found the time to dig into them and get any of them working properly.
