If you look back just a page or so, you'll see I've noted that there's a problem with the native plugin after it submits a cache: it doesn't restart. Because caching is inevitable with last.fm's "dodgy response" system, I've disabled MM's plugin for now and gone back to using Winamp's standalone as that cache process is at least reliable.

As for AutoRateAccurate hindering the plugin, I don't think so. I ran ARA and the native plugin together for some time and when the latter did scrobble, ARA didn't bother it.

Will the winamp plugin work with MM3? I didn't think it did whicj is why I'm using this one. Did you find a work around to make it work?

Peke, you should submit your scrobbler plugins to http://build.last.fm/

Thank you so much. I am now scrobbling just like old times.

No problem.

Congrats on the good work *on troubleshooting* spacefish

!

To all friends involved,

The scrobbler plugin is working great for me, no more having to watch that horrible screen "update me" of the last.fm client.

Since the job is very well done by now, I would suggest using the same structure to catch playcounts from an Ipod during synchronization and upload the songs to Last.fm... I know it's not simple like that, but that would definetly be a way to make our loved MM a standalone scrobbling machine

I second that idea. I currently use Lastpod to upload my played tracks to Last.fm, but it would be great if MM could do that as well. Great job btw.

Been tryin' to understand what was happening with the cache, good seeing you got that. But I see now my previous post was too quick ehe. Anyway, better than the client

Ah, I see. I can't help it. I just like stuff to work.

this plugin is sweet! now i dont have to have that dodgy last.fm software on my computer. one question tho, when im auto dj'ing i always get this msg and it has to load from the "backup playlist". am i doing something wrong??

also another question unrelated, how are all you guys getting horizontal images showing what songs have been recently played in your signature? i cant find that anywhere on last.fm

cheers

They've hidden the link under the Widgets section.

I get a "default playlist doesn't exist. Last.fm DJ will now exit."-Error when i drag one song to an empty playlist and start it. That song is added to list one more time and the error comes up.

Any Idea how i can solve that?

Solved it!
I had renamed the Top 50 Playlist as i'm German but now it's working!

...though it associates Eurythmics and Art of Noise.. but that's probably lastFM's fault..
