Last.fm Plug-in & Auto-DJ testing (MM 3.0.x)
Posted: Mon Feb 18, 2008 12:23 pm
Hi,
We're happy to begin a beta test period for a new plug-in / script combination that allows you to scrobble to Last.fm and generate Auto-DJ Playlists based on Last.fm (to learn about Last.fm, see: http://www.last.fm):
1) Last.fm Scrobbler plug-in. This is a native plugin that 'scrobbles' the tracks that you play in MediaMonkey to Last.fm, so that you can share your musical tastes with others, and get recommendations for new music from other users with similar tastes.
Download:
http://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/
Installation:
-Install the latest beta of MediaMonkey (this has been tested with MediaMonkey 3.0.3 Beta 1, though it should also work with MediaMonkey 3.0.2)
-Double-click the downloaded file, and agree to install
-Go to Tools > Options > Last.fm Service to configure your username and password
2) Last.fm Auto-DJ script. This script allows you to automatically build playlists based on recommendations from Last.fm. It takes the last played track, and finds a top-rated Track from a similar Artist. It's a great way to listen to your collection without having to manually select tracks.
This script is largely inspired by the work of psyxonova who created the ScrobblerDJ plugin. Special thanks to Trixmoto and others for work on URL Encode, Dressen for SQL Query optimization and various corrections, and Technojnky & trixmoto for testing.

-Set the Auto-DJ to Add 1 upcoming track to the Now Playing list
-Choose Add Tracks from: Last.fm DJ, and press configure to change settings
-Click OK until you exit the Options panel, and then Add a single track to the Now Playing list that you wish to seed your playlist, and start playing the track.
Enjoy!
