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.

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. :((

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 would join, but I doubt the CP crowd is interested in the stuff I listen to...
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.
Cheers, Vikram.

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.

If I'd been a member, you would have been getting plenty of The Stooges and Iron Maiden recently. Plus a smattering of late 70's Hawkwind. OK, it's probably better I'm not a member.

I'm using WMP11 and the Last.fm player (plus audioscrobbler plugin) fine after the automatic update. Try their support forums, if it has happened to you it will have happened to others too.

In your settings (on the web site) there is an option to play the radios using the last.fm player, or the inbuilt flash player. Just change it over and hit refresh.

Correct.
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 :-)

It works with WMP 11 - I can personally confirm that. Have you checked the audioscrobbler logs?

I've used Pandora. I don't like having to keep a browser window open to play music. Also, I like the fact that this is tailored to our group here, so I get to listen to some music I would never have heard of before.

Heh. I don't listen to a whole lot of religious music, so I fit right in. ;P Besides, if you don't want anybody to know about what you're playing, you can always disable scrobbling. ;)
