Download a plugin for your favourite mp3 player, and audioscrobbler keeps a record of all the songs you play EVER on its website. This is good because it lets you know how cool your taste actually is, as opposed to how cool you think it is, by generating weekly and all-time charts. This is my page: [URL]http://www.audioscrobbler.com/user/unknownkernel/[/URL] I've been doing it for ages and the most I've ever listened to a song is 7 times. Surprising. And my favourite song is apparently M'Gell by Ultrakurt, which I've never heard of but turns out to be a song on a mix CD I have.

Anyway, the coolest thing is that everything is linked. Click on a song in your profile and you get a list of other people who love that tune, or listen to it a lot because they really hate it. Click on an artist and you get a list of their most popular songs. Click on a user and you see all their fave tunes, plus what they're listening to RIGHT NOW. Woo! You can also get reccommendations based on what you listen to - like amazon except that it works, and throws up things you've never heard of.

And and and you can make your own groups, and I have very cleverly made a special reserve one for you to join [URL]http://www.audioscrobbler.com/group/Special%2BReserve[/URL] Groups with 10 or more members get weekly charts, so Special Reserve would have its very own number one.

So, yes, you should all join.

There is no SR chart for some unknown reason

I know, me too.

Such a pointless thing to get annoyed about, but it's just so annoying.

Not sure.. but I think this is because it takes the song names from musicbrainz. You know how people submit song titles/tags to musicbrainz, and all? Really not sure, though, just a guess.
Stuff I've played always has capital letters, then when it appears on the scrobbler, some of them will have small letters. And I hate that. Really.

When I download it, it's only 15kb and won't work. The computer pops up a message saying this isn't an executable file or something.

It works reasonably well, it's only obscure soundtrack stuff that it doesn't really pick up.

This happens to me sometimes mate.

I can't get rid of this apostrophe at the end of "Slit Wrist Theory" and I don't know why.



Oh, Emitime, it happened again :-p

I may be on later, watching X-Men at the moment.
