"audioscrobbler: a cool thing to join"

[URL]http://www.audioscrobbler.com[/URL]

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.

It has been working on and off, but stopped this morning at around 2/3am.

Will be happy when the radio's back :)

When it actually works it will be great but you do need broadband really as it's streaming.

What's taking them so long?

All should be sorted out soon they say.

I'd quite like to get that last.fm thing working as well, but apparently it's shocking with media player. Gah.

Mine neither. The other day I noticed that it hadnt updated my recent tracks bit till the next morning. I checked it and it was empty, refreshed and it showed the tracks I listened to the night before. Crappy...

Damn... And I just found WP-Scrobbler as well.

Also, joind the SR thingy as I've been listening to more moosic on my PC...

Everything is days behind.

I've noticed my profile loads really quickly, beacuse nothing's changed on it in 4 days.

They're stopped updating. Again.

Basts.
