Hoya:
I think it will take tracks from the recently played playlist, so if you have your ipod set to auto sync it should update from the ipod

i don't think so; no.


and as far as the group charts…i'm not sure exactly how they work either, but i assume that it is recording how many people have listened to that artist.

One thing that's kind of a bummer is it also doesn't count what you're listening to on Internet Radio. That would be kind of cool if stuff from WOXY or KEXP or whatever streams was listed, as well.

Actually, yes, it does. Or it can, if you tweak the correct settings. I can't recall if that's the default setting or not. It may depend on the type of iPod? (I'd be surprised if it works for iPod Shuffles, for example.) You can only specify one iPod per account to sync up with last.fm, and it uploads which tracks you've listened to on your iPod when you sync up the iPod with iTunes. Which you would need to do at least once per week in order for your tracks to show up on the 9:30 group charts.

Select "Preferences…" from the notes menu in the menu bar. Click on the "Enable iPod Submissions" checkbox. This is the Mac version. I have no knowledge of the Windows version.

For Windows users, go there. He apparently wrote a program for syncing an iPod with last.fm. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll let you know how it works when I get home and download it onto that computer.

I've just created a group on Last-FM called Doomlink. Anyone who has ever been on Doomlink, thought about Doomlink, or has ever skipped over a post about Doomlink, is welcome to join!

It apparently just updates from your most recently played playlist on your iPod. Not the most accurate, but whatever.

I have joined. My username is Spiff Bat.

welcome, Spiff Bat. i'm Betty.

Awesome.

#21 Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl

Although, I'm shocked and appalled that nobody else listened to a single Britney Spears song. What do you guys listen to when you get dressed for a Friday/Saturday night out on the town?!!?

last night I witnessed Grand Buffet perform a live mashup of U2 and Ghostbusters, I hope to god this never sees the light of day and ends up on these charts

I still don't think that any of my music is showing up from what I see on the latest chart. There are about 4 bands listed that I've listened to but I can't be sure I've had anything to do with it.

Also, I'm now suspecting that at least 2 different group members have to listen to any one artist for it to reflect on the charts. If so, that leaves Smackie and I off the charts for the majority of our music.

Kosmo, would you please sneak into this thread and add an 'l' in Audio-scrobbers (sic)?

OOPS

Podcasts register?

Uh-oh - Thomas Friedman might be in my top 10 artists by the end of the year….

yeah I noticed that they were registering, i thought ricky gervais might show up in the chart

New charts are up.

I'm still pretty sure that at least 2 different group members must listen to any one given artist for it to show up in order to weed out the anomalies.

Brennser, let's try an experiment. Since I know that you and I are probably the only ones who have the following CD, sometime between now and next week, play your Silver Screen CD. Make sure you use the CD and not MP3s just to make sure that the properly tagged files get sent up since Last.FM is so picky about such things. If my theory is correct, if both of us play them, then they should show up on the next chart. If not, then I have no idea why we are being ostracized, providing it does show up on our personal charts.

I had to laugh at my latest personal chart because it looks like I've been hanging out in the early morning garden. :D
