[Alex]

PHEW saves me from seeing what i fear may be my most played

[Evie]

You know what, I genuinely don't think I've listened to ANYTHING this week, for the first time in about a year...

Ooops!

[Molicious]

I'm annoyed because for the first time ever since I got a loan of tonnes of her older albums ( Yes I KNOW ) last weekend I'm actually NOT listening to Mariah...

I think the plug-ins hold onto the data until the site is ready to accept it.....

yeh, mine says there's 38 songs cached

[lolly]

yeh, mine says there's 38 songs cached

Where do you see that, please?

[october rust]

Where do you see that, please?

I use the Windows Media plug-in, so Tools -> Plug-ins -> Options -> Background -> Properties

and it should say all the stuff there

[lolly]

Lovely

[PGCMc]

Mine might actually start to work now, with this new site

[Agnetha]

Maybe it will actually work FULL STOP

[october rust]

[Robbie]

Hmmm...

"PHEW saves me from seeing what i fear may be my most played" as you wrote earlier!

SO what was your MOST PLAYED?

[Superstar]

Grr why isn't it up yet?! I think my listening has been eclectic this week!

[octophone]

I like their new snaky logo. Hope that's actually on the site when it reopens.

[Buddha]

front page now says it'll be tomorrow before it's up. BAH!

How long does a song have to play before the audioscrobbler plugin caches it? I guess it might depend on the length of the song.

I've noticed a few times songs that have been skipped, even after they have played for 1 minute (or more), don't get cached. Are their any rules on this?

Well sometimes mp3's aren't tagged correctly so the filename is correct but the tag information is blank!
That could be it....

Well, I played The Residents "Commercial Album" and it picked up all 40 1 minute tracks. I think a certain percentage of a track has to be played before it picks it up - it certainly took quite a while longer to register "For Bunita Marcus" than it did to note "Come Clean".

[october rust]

It's back up now but at a new address http://www.last.fm

[lolly]

Mine is still working using the previous address, although I'm redirected.

Hmmm...I just checked the tags of the files that didn't register and they were all fine.

That's what I thought.

I find that it struggles with some classical stuff though so I'm not surprised to hear about Bonita. I was listenting to Cowell last night and first it couldn't detect the details of the CD at all. I then ripped it and edited the tags and it still didn't cache them.

[Unknown Obscurist]

Oh I guess the site is just very busy (people loggin in). It's extremely slow at the moment.

[october rust]

I prefer the old, simple layout meself

Well at least you managed to see soemthing I guess. I'm still at the logon stage.

[Steve]

Slow? All it's doing is timing out whenever I try to do anything on it

I can't get anywhere with it now either. All I seem to ge now is "The page cannot be displayed".

[octophone]

Yup, getting nowhere fast here too.....

[lolly]

I managed to get in once. I quite liked it, particularly the way you can now see your top 300 tracks

[Agnetha]

I can't remember my username!

Oh well it's not doing anything anyway....

Here it is folks, the new Audioscrobbler

It's a new url so update your bookmarks
http://www.last.fm/

[Alex]

The thing is www.last.fm was there before and it had a list of every single song you played. However before it actually loaded in under 10 minutes.

Here's the Moopy group

I think i preferred the old style, it's going to take a bit of getting used to

[Unknown Obscurist]

Error: could not get connection to global cluster (too busy?).
