I think you can activate it on two computers by just downloading the plugin on both and signing in. I don't think the format matters.

No problem. Download the Audioscrobber for iTunes at home and the Adioscrobber for WMP at the office. It's which account you associate the audioscrobber with that counts, not the player.
I don't even use it. I should, I guess. If I can remember my user name…..

No. Her participation in last.fm has been very poor.

it shouldn't be a problem … you can get a scrobbler thing for your mp3 player as well … the only thing you have to watch out for is a situation like this:

you listen to 20 songs on your iPod, then you go home and listen to 10 songs on your computer … if you submitted the listening data on those 10 songs before you submit the 20 songs from your ipod, last.fm won't accept the iPod-listened-to songs

i dont know if that made sense, but if you are scrobbling from two different computers, just make sure the data is being submitted in real-time on each

Gaace is right.

The only time it's been a problem is when smackette is using iTunes at home and I'm using iTunes at the office. Last.fm will put a message on your member page that says Some tracks you submitted have not been added to your profile for the following reason: Spam protection triggered: You submitted a track dated earlier than your last submission.

It's designed to keep you from flooding and skewing the statistics. About half of the songs will register, but since it's not an exact science, it's not a big deal.
thanks

such knowledgable people you all are ;)
okay, so I signed up. how do I join the 9:30 Group?

All that extra money you've got and you haven't hooked your computer up to play through your stereo…pfft.

So that's why my ipod songs aren't showing up? If I sync my ipod with my computer before playing any music, they'll transfer?

My ipod reflects my music listening habits much more accurately because it goes everywhere with me, so I'll be interested in seeing what it changes on my charts.

i have such an absurdly enormous apartment (it's very very expensive, and in a very very cool part of the city) that my computer is set up way too far away from my kick-ass high end stereo … i just hook my incredibly extravagant iPod into the stereo instead

well, first you need the Jscrob2 plug-in, instead of the usual iTunes plug-in (assuming you have a PC) … make sure you pay attention to the instructions with jscrob, you need to have a Recently Played list specifically titled "Recently Played", so it can recognize the songs you've played from your iPod when you sync up

the key is to turn "Enable Submissions" off when you sync your iPod and take it out to listen, then AFTER you sync your iPod and it updates your recently played, just turn "Enable Submissions" on again … that way you don't trigger the "spam protection" that smackie was talking about … sounds like a pain in the ass, but it becomes second-nature after a while

As Johnny Black, a.k.a. Johnny Blue says in The Anarchist Cookbook, "There are two types of people in this world: Join-ers &amp; Do-ers."

Which are you?

I'm regressing.

I'm thinking of popping my collar.
