The ultimate solution to the "What r u listenning to thread": Last.fm

vICEfliP · 03-02-2007, 08:38 PM

Seems like all these what are you listening to mumbo jumbo has got some people shook. Those threads are basically spam fests as pointed out by Introverted, a bettter solution to this thread, would be something like Last.fm. Me Raikun and Fab-i-oh have been using this nifty little tool for quite some time, and I think its time to show other people the wonders of this tool.

What is Last.fm?

Last.fm is an online community which which allows you to "scrobble" the songs you play, essentially tracking down the songs you play. Essentially eliminating the need for the "what are you listening to threads".

What can if offer me?

Not only can you track down all the songs you have listened to, but it also has a couple other benefits.

Offers artists suggestions
Offers a community with forums for musical discussion.
Radio stations, which can play songs you have played or others people music
Offer Signatures which will show the world what you are listening to

Sign me up, how can I get started?

The url is www.last.fm.

Sign up for free
Download and install the safe program which tracks your music at http://www.last.fm/tools/
Get listening!
You can get a signature at http://www.last.fm/tools/charts/?data=recenttracks which you can customize which displays your recently played tracks.

Here is an example of my signature.

By the way, FabianN created an OnRPG group/subforum on last.fm. This allows for some discussion, plus you can check who's listening to who on OnRPG. EDIT: Looks like FabianN deleted the group.

It works with a couple media players which you SELECT which include WMP, Winamp, Foobar, iTunes and a couple others. Not Youtube.

You need to label them correctly, but if you downloaded them and the band/song is in the database it should show.
