No.
The "Media Library Version" which is the default option selected on install will not work without Winamp5 because it requires Winamp's Media Library to be installed.

? Both options work without Winamp 5...

1. Download this: http://static.last.fm/plugins/audioscro ... 1.1.10.exe

2. Put plugin into Mediamonkey\Plugins\

2.5 Select 'General Version'

3. Restart MM or start it, and go into Tools -> Options -> General Plug-ins to enter your login information

4. Scrobble!

Default option doesn't work without Winamp5

here it is. Option #2

I'd love to find that link

Hey I got some help on this
there is an older plugin that can be used without the LastFM application at all
it is linked to in a few threads regarding LastFM
it is an installer that will offer you two options to install
choose that General option, and make sure it is pointed toward your .MediaMonkey\Plugins\ folder
then run MediaMonkey, navigate to the plugin in the Options section (it will probably dip to the background, so just alt+tab it to get it back up front
fill in your use details and it should start scrobbling your music sans LastFM application
works for me, so I'm happy
..sorry. I can't find the page on LastFM.com, but I promise it is linked to in a few threads here in the forum. I think nohitter151 has it in his signature, though I could be completely wrong
PEACE

REALLY sucks..

prinssimikko:
The problem is that the new version 2.0.47.0 doesn't work in MM. More informations here: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21939

Just install this version: http://static.last.fm/plugins/ass/Winam ... 0.45.0.exe
And don't update anymore!

PS: But this doesn't solve the unicode-problem mentioned above... Altough fortunately I don't have such songs.

ok. solved. dont ask me how.

i just once again reinstalled last.fm and now it connected!



great!

hmmm.. the registry key thing confuses me. could it have something to do with the fact that im running windows xp on the drive D: instead of C: ???

i havent had any problems with other programs.

thanks Peke, but unfortunately that didnt help me.
i do know that account information etc are done through last.fm program.

but i would really appreciate if anyone would have any clues about what i'm doing wrong? i use MM3 rc-3 (always the latest!). the last.fm winamp plugin is installed in MediaMonkey/plugins folder, it is called "gen_wa2_scrobbler.dll" and version number is 2.0.47.0 / Last.fm Winamp plugin.

there is a last.fm logfile in the directory and it says:

so.... i have tried to reinstall last.fm.

Thanks!

As of plugin version of 2.0 last.FM player handles everything not the plugin which is the reason why it is started each time you start Winamp, MediaMonkey,... Unless apps itself make and supports its own plugin.
There is no configuration in plugin Account info must be entered in Last.FM player. And Unicode works well only when used with winamp Media Library plugin that MM do not support. Which I never install when I test Winamp and want to have nice speed of Winamp 2.75 and updated plugins. Latin users should not be concerned as main problem was in Complex Unicode Localized tracks Like one in Screenshoot (Istrael, Chinese, Japanese and I think Turkish)

i used to have last.fm working just fine, but recently i had to reinstall windows and somehow i cant make MM scrobble anymore.

i have the old version of plugin, so it shouldnt be the problem. and other players scrobble just fine.

one thing came to my mind: when installing last.fm -plugin I have to choose the player to assosiate it with. I chose Winamp, then browsed for mediamonkey.exe. Isn't this the right way to do it?

I dont have winamp installed at all... could it be the problem????
Any guesses?

When i listen songs on MM, there is no activity on last.fm software (usually i can see what i am listening to....) but it does start every time i start MM, so there is a connection working...
weird?

Thanks for any help!

Just to let you know:

Unicode isn't a low priority--you'll see a fair number of unicode related fixes in RC4. We may not have gotten to everything, but you should see more improvement in RC4, just as there was in RC3...

Re. last.fm/scrobbler issues: Peke has been working on a plugin (will not be bundled with MM 3.0) that adds proper scrobbling for MM3. Our priority, at the moment is on getting MM3 out the door, so this will have to wait a little bit longer. To assuage your concerns about the lack of unicode support, see most recent test results below (you'll have to trust me that this was scrobbled with the MM plugin):
