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.

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.

Thank you for posting this. Props go out to you.

Does this work with any songs? (like say..on Youtube :P) Or only on Windows Media Player/Quicktime? (AKA songs you place on your computer)

Err no need to quote all that lol O_o . Anyways I never heard of that site, I'm gona go try it XD. Thx for posting.

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.

add me to the group please :)

You have to do it yourself, click on the link above and join it.

forget lastfm. Dude, if we spam the General Section enough then maybe we'll all get banned and then nobody will care what we are listening to, watching, playing, or wearing. /kidding

I dk, seems kinda boreing

You have to do it yourself, click on the link above and join it.

the groups that im already in they invited me lol....
im also more active on lastfm.jp :p

Yea, you get like a month to get more than three members, or it auto-deletes the group, or something like that...

And the thing will work for most players that are on your computer. And also, youtube doesn't make any sense because thats video, this is music.
It works for nearly all major music playes, and is great for finding other music that you'd like.



Oh, and how about passing on some of those powers so that I can help manage this?

Pandora is better for that.

Tried that thing. It's interesting, but how it finds the matching music isn't completely acurate.
It matches based on things like the tempo, rythem, ect.
last.fm matches based on all of that + user input

And you get a nice large list that shows you how close to your search does a artist come, instead of having to go through it one by one.

But none the less, it is an interesting program. Just wish it would do more "mass lists" instead of one artist at a time.

Sure in exchange for some rep *wink* *wink*.
Just messin with ya...

I granted you with all the powers I got...

Stop with the shameless promotions already!!! jk

This is a great idea. Those thread were getting on my nerves

been on there for a while.
nice idea

pretty cool :D

Looks funky, my playlist will probably consist of like a few bands only though. XD

Pretty sweet, I usually stay in the Pop/Reggaeton genera though. So I wouldn't recommend anything.

thx a lot im gonna try this now

Yeah, just make sure you don't forget to join the OnRPG sub-group!

FabianN, sticky for maybe the next couple weeks?

I made an account at Last.fm today.
But I have a question:
In a different forum I have this "recently played songs" picture in my signature.
I read in the FAQ that it should be updated every 5 minutes. But it isn't updated for hours, although it displays all the songs I heard in my profile...

I've been using last.fm for quite some time. I joined the group btw

btw... Tracks played: 936 :D

I've found that it happens sometimes with the browser cache. Basicly whats happening is that the browser see's this image with a location. It looks in it's cache and finds another image with the exact same location and filename, so it assumes it's the same one. So instead of loading it off the web it loads it off your hard drive.
Found this to happen with FF and IE from time to time. Don't know why.

And I agree, stickied for a few weeks. Nothing permenent, but a good sticky for some time.

Does this work well with LimeWire?

Even if nobody in the world listens to you, you know you always have GOOGLE.

Three Days Grace (also known as 3DG or TDG) is a Canadian alternative metal / post-grunge band formed in 1997.[2] The band used to be named "Groundswell" and consists of members Adam Gontier, Neil Sanderson, Brad Walst and Barry Stock.

Cool, This is awsome. I'ma Sign up, and Join the group. Hope Last.fm works on iTunes.

I think we need some more people in our OnRPG group, it's not really active.

Go go go! Join Last.fm and our group!
