[Last.fm] This is easily the best internet radio station ever...
-
I'm currently listening to our Last.fm group[^] radio. I know it's been said before, but holy crap. This is some diverse music. I just got done listening to some Infected Mushroom[^] and now I'm listening to Black Sabbath (no surprise where that comes from ;)). Infected Mushroom is interesting. I'd have never even heard of them if it wasn't for this group. And while I wouldn't normally say that I like trance music, it was actually pretty good. If you haven't already, you should join. We've currently got 73 members, but we could always use more. :)
I joined, but somewhere along the line, after an update to the AudioScrobbler software, it no longer scrobbles any of my music. I've tried to remove and re-install it several times but all with no luck at getting it to scrobble. As good as it may be, it doesn't work everywhere. :confused:

I've just recently got this all working, so expect more obscure 80s metal to appear on the list. I listened to some Widowmaker and Wildside this morning, and I'm having an Angels fest as we speak

Infected Mushroom has its "ups and downs". I generally dislike the non-trance like stuff they do. I think it's one of the voices I don't like.

Yes!
Yeah, I don't think I've listened to Sabbath recently, not on mp3 at least.

Sometimes the servers are choked. The songs you've played are then cached on your machine until the server accepts submissions again. In most plugins i've seen, it shows you current status in the plugin option dialog.

I've been running the plug in for winamp for a while and its interesting to see the stats of what I've been listening to. It would be very cool if it could get stats from my ipod when I connect it to the pc and upload those as I tend to use that a lot more than mp3's on my pc

That's a cool idea. You need to take my lead - play lots of Angels, Screaming Jets, Candy Harlots, Kings of the Sun, Rose Tattoo, etc. Let's get some Aussie music on this list.

Thanks for the link :-) I haven't had much success joining other CPian ventures. For instance, I joined Colin Angus' CP region (nation states) and my country is doing really bad; I am ranked pretty much at the bottom of the CP region. :-( Hopefully this fm thing would turn out to be a better experience :-)

Why is common sense not common? Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level where they are an expert. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to be lazy

Okay - will check that out :-)

Unfortunately, there have been some publishing delays. The e-book may be available pretty soon, but the physical book may be later than expected.

I've been listening to 'Song for the Aussie Bloke" volumes 1 to 3 lately. That should help a bit

That would be iScrobbler[^](Macs), or iSproggler[^](for PCs)

Actually, it's even worse. Undre Tools/Plug-ins there is an entry for AudioScrobbler WMP plugin and that entry is checked. But the icon for the systray is non-existent. I suspect it is because I'm using WMP version 11 and the plug-in isn't supported. :((

Unless it's Britney and X-ina, I think you might be surprised. There's everything from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Muse, U2, Johnny Cash (last week's top 5) to Don Davis, Broder Daniel, Forbidden Broadway, Tanzwut, and God Module (last 5 items on last week's list). Oh, and the afore mentioned were #94 and #15, apparently.

Our group radio is all streamed from Last.fm, but it's a collection of everything that we listen to. It's really cool.
So if a member listens to a particular song, and if that song is available in Last.fm's list, everyone else can listen to that song through last.fm radio even if they do not own that song? If so, that is cool. I think I'll install it at home tonight :-)

Currently working on C++/CLI in Action for Manning Publications. (*Sample chapter available online*)Not really. You cannot play a particular song or a even particular artist. Last.fm will play songs similar to an artist you choose, or songs tagged similar to the tag you've chosen, but that's as close as you can get.

I just got my wmp plugin updated so I'm uploading the stats on the last 950 or so songs I've listened to. Is there any way to get the group radio to play in the player, I've only been able to do it in the flash player which isn't really as cool.
