I'm having this issue as well, when I click the "On" button a box pops up that is either blank or will occasionally have a very tiny box in the top left corner where I can click little arrows up or down, but there's no text on the page that I can see.

I'm using MMW 5.0.5.2695.

Edited to add: I'm not sure why, but I used the check for updates button and even though I am on the most recent version, after doing that when I opened the options again, the last.fm popup box is no longer blank and I am able to log in now.

Which version (Help > About) of MediaMonkey and the last.fm (Tools > Addons) are you using?

I don't have a login option under Tools > Options > Last. fm in my new install of MM5. If I select 'On' under the Scrobble submission state box it just gives me a blank popup. Am I missing something here or this a Gold only feature?

Yes, you can choose one of these Apps, but there are other options as well.

I just noticed this for the first time in MMA. Lookup & Scrobble>Scrobble>Install Last.fm and Install Simple Last.fm?

Tune in? Just MMA and scrobble App is needed to scrobble plays to last.fm.

Just considering local FM, will just MMA and a scrobbler be enough to "tune in"? Or, is this something that requires MM5? [Which would limit access?]

Thank you. It finally came up. Literally NOTHING happened the first several times I tried setting to "On." Apparently, I was hitting "OK" on the dialog too fast for it to POP UP a whole entire new window to prompt for login. How poorly documented a feature.

Set submission state to On. It will prompt to login.

There is no option to login. This is the Last..fm page in the Options dialog from "Tools" menu:

Each scrobble App is different. It has a setting to se which apps to scrobble from in its configuration. Making sure MMA is enabled is all that's needed.

AFAIK last.fm doesn't facilitate playing of music any more. It is service which can record all of your track plays for social or statistical or browsing purposes. It can be used to suggest new music that suits your taste based upon your history.

If you want to listen to public broadcasting you need another app. Your local broadcaster probably has a free app that can be used to play their live stream, or to catch-up on programmes you have missed.

You mentioned MMA, so I presume that you have an android phone. If you want to broaden your choices beyond your local broadcaster, install the Tunein app from the Google app store. The app is free. When you start the app, its onboarding startup will try to channel you to create an account and sign up for a subscription. Ignore and close down all that. Tunein claims that it connects you to 100,000 global radio stations and podcasts originators, so will have all the options that you can handle. It allows you to browse by country, or broadcaster, or music genre, etc. All this is available via their free service.

Sorry about any confusion. I have been simple about adding something that would me to listen to local FM stations somehow. I thought maybe MMA could do this. But, it seems that at least one more app is needed as well? And, I don't have a Local.FM login.

Is hard to advise with more info. What are you trying to achieve?
  • play music on your phone?
  • scrobble music played on your phone?
  • are you trying to fix something re full history in your MM database, or at your last.fm account?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... n_US&gl=US is there a guide that explains how to integrate this and MMA [maybe MM5 as well]?
