this does not work with 0.4….
please fix it because I do like Songbird but also love last.fm……

Comprehensive Last.fm support:
1.6.0b2 update.
this does not work with 0.4….
please fix it because I do like Songbird but also love last.fm……
works fine for me Win XP and Songbird 0.4
This doesn’t seem to work with special characters. The band Feu Thérèse is submitted as Feu Th?r?se.
This isn’t working fully for me…
It will send information about what I’m listening to, but won’t scrobble the track.
Online it will say I’m “Now Listening” to a song, but once it’s done there’s nothing to show for it.
I was just curious, was it something in the audioscrobbler protocol that changed or Songbird, that made the old one incompatible all this time? Or did you guys just want to implement it differently this time?
When i listen to music from my library it records the song two times on last.fm.
And when i’m listening on songs from the iPod library or from the library on my external hdd by using the “iPod Device Support” and “USB mass-storage device” addons it doesn’t record them at all.
(Songbird 0.4)
If it’s recorded twice, u probably have ur original Last.FM application running. Same goes for iScrobbler or any other app.
I have Songbird 0.4 and it’s send nothing to Last.Fm. I’m sure that i write true password and user name. Do you have some ideas?
I have the same problem. Recently listened tracks are shown once, but the tracks are shown twice in the charts. I compared the behavior of the extension and the official Last.fm application with Wireshark. It seems that the extension does not follow the first rule of submission: “The track must be submitted once it has finished playing. Whether it has finished playing naturally or has been manually stopped by the user is irrelevant.”. http://www.audioscrobbler.net/development/protocol/ The submission is done when half of the track has been played. I don’t know if this is causing the problem. I have send the Wireshark traces to last.fm support for comment.
Now I know what is causing the problem. it is the rating parameter in the submission. The official application seems to leave rating empty. I changed the extension in the following way and it works.

It is easy to test. Tracks played steps twice with the unmodified extension and once with modified extension.
If it’s not working with you guys, try to change the option “Block websites from viewing information about media in my Library and devices”, located in the Web Integration tab; Tools > Options.
It worked with me!!
The problem is that submission string is not UTF-8 encoded. To fix this you should change escape function to encodeURIComponent function in audioscrobbler.js
I don’t know why but since the last update it doesn’t work as good as before so now sometimes it transmit data and sometimes not.
Very nice AddOn, scrobbling without any problems for me (at least after rodsanchez’ tip).
Still, I also have this problem with "special" characters, but I, frankly, don’t understand the solution provided by timo…
What exactly can I do so it doesn’t screw up my charts? :D
Thanks in advance for your help.
thanks Timo. 0.0.4 incorporates your fix.
ruin3: This should be fixed in the new version (0.0.4) I just uploaded.
I installed it on my 0.4 version recently downloaded, and it doesn’t seem to work.
Hope it get’s a fix soon
Works great most of the time, even with “Block websites from viewing information about media in my Library and devices” option enabled.
It doesn’t work when playing tracks directly from a USB mass storage device.
Version: 0.0.4
Songbird version: 0.5pre20080305windows-i686-msvc8
USB device: Samsung YH-J70
Works with 0.6, nice!
Worked for me as well, thank you!
This is great! I’ve been searching for this for ages (read:days) but it still makes me happy.
Thanks guys and gals :)
I am having one small problem with this add on. Am running songbird on a computer with wifi that cuts in and out. If the internet disconnects then re-connects this addon stops uploading data. (Untill i restart songbird) Is it possible for it to try and reconnect when a network connection is found, or just to periodically re-test for a connection?
I’ll see if I can implement that in the next update.
Just updated to Songbird 5 and am unable to get the LastFM add-on to work… Will try to send more detailed info, but I am running XP.
Update: My songs are being sent to LastFM and appear properly on my music profile.
They do not appear on the external LastFM widgit (or what ever it is called).
Conclusion: Works wonderful. Now, I wonder if there is an add-on for the Mixi (Japanese social website) music scrobbler…
This plug in worked for me for two submissions when first installed. Since it has stopped working. I thought that it was because my connection was dropped (stupid AT&T) but after a restart it didn’t start working. I tried changing settings as suggested in previous comments with no success.
I checked the error log but there are no errors. There are some submission related messages but it APPEARS like things are working fine. There is one message that hints at an issue but I’m not sure if it’s related to the plug in:
“Blocklist::_loadBlocklistFromFile: XML File does not exist.”
I’m using the latest Mac X OS using the latest songbird release and scrobbler plug in.
Disappointed that the plugin doesn’t scrobble tracks from a mtp device but only tracks in the main library.
If someone wants to point me in the right direction to fix this I would gladly help.
Great add-on :) Works fine for me (Win XP).
However, music played from websites (like hypem.com) does not seem to be scrobbled… intended?
(There’s neither requests nor responses in the error console)
Thanks.
Also, it seems that no songs are scrobbled once the “pause” button has been used. This should rather apply to the single song that has been paused, not to successing songs, right?
Scrobbles from the Songbird library just fine as long as LastFM.exe is not running at the same time. I too would very much like to scrobble when I play songs through Songbird that I have not downloaded yet, but thanks very much for the add-on even without that feature.
Here there is a scrobbler that works through the official
Last.fm client, and supports offline scrobbling etc: http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/1208
peace
Need to set maxVersion to 0.7pre
This addons is now perfect for my needs (With support for flaky internet connections) My Wifi drops out all the time, but it succeeds in getting the information sent, thanks for the update!
Hi again, just noticed that the plugin obviously stops scrobbling when one switches Songbird’s feathers to mini media player…
The only thing I miss from the normal Last.FM client is the “Love” button… .-.
It stopped scrobbling for me, first I thought it came because I had 0.8pre but now I'm running 0.7RC2 and the problems are still there. On Last.fm u can see what I'm listening at the moment but it doesn't scrobble. :(
It reads album name / artist name / title from just filename. I think it would be better if it reads from metadata. Most of my songs just have title as file name. Secondly, everyone follows different scheme to define filenames. Here in india its mostly album - title (cos movies has all of these songs. And artists are different)
Forget my comment 4 hours ago, I made a new profile and after some songs it started scrobbling. :D
@jigarshah, we scrobble based on metadata, not on filenames - what's your last.fm username?
This plugin doesn't work for me for some reason. Windows Vista OS.
never mind the last comment. :)
great, thanks for official support in 0.7 :o
great to see the developers spending so much time in the user's wishes.
Great addon! It even manages to scrobble over my workplace proxy, and they block last.fm...
Im having the same problem as 'Michael Marino' - I can see the song I play in the 'now playing' section on last fm, but then it fails to log it after that.....any help?
Great addon. But there should be an option that shoutcast streams are not going to be scrobbled.
I love it... even though after the first time I ran Songbird it stopped working.
Same as some people above, Now Playing in my Last.fm profile works, but no songs are scrobbled afterwards. This is an error I got on the Console, maybe someone will know what it actually means :D

Great add. Only one question. Can it log in to last.fm at startup?
I have the same issue as cron, on "enumerate(this._playbackHistory.entries,...".
Should I try disabling other extensions ?
@carnelain : it does log in at startup.
This just ain't working for me... Similarly to "mj84" and others on my last.fm profile it says "listening now", but fails to log that track after it has finished playing... Any ideas? (I've tried reinstalling, etc.)
Still not working after much playing around (uninstalling/reinstalling)... It did in version 0.6.x, which must mean it is not a network/firewall-type problem this end. It still just scrobbles "listening now". Will this Add-on be updated to rectify this problem?
Still not working... Perhaps someone can decipher this (the last.fm things in the error console):

ipod scrobbling possible?
This still isn't working for me (it did in version 0.6.x). Some advice/help would be greatly appreciated...
:(
Still not working...
Is there a conflict with another Add-on?
I would really like to get this working (can you tell by the number of posts!?) as I rely heavily on last.fm and may migrate away from Songbird if it doesn't.
Hmmm, this is working now!?!? My workaround - remove ALL Songbird files, hidden 'n' all, in your home or docs and settings directory and start again. I guess there's a problem upgrading from 0.6.x to 0.7...
@aweller: Thanks!
I had this problem and thought I'd take your solution and see if I could get away with removing slightly less than everything! (Prior to your tip, I'd assumed it was a last.fm problem...)
After a bit of trial and error I discovered that the culprit is the Playback History database e.g. on Linux:
cd /home/jdoe/.songbird2/pr0f1l3/
mv db/playbackhistory@songbirdnest.com.db db/playbackhistory@songbirdnest.com.db.old
Then restart songbird, and voila! Back in the land of the scrobbling.
(Then file a bug report with songbird or this extension :-)
@chocolateboy: IT WORKS!
I deleted my Playback History, and i'm happily scrobbling once again. I'm using Windows XP SP3. For those who have the same problem, the location of the file is in this route:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Songbird2\Profiles\XXX.default\db
Then delete "playbackhistory@songbirdnest.com" and start Songbird. Enjoy!
This plugin doesnt work for me, it cant login. could it be caused by my username? computer_tom?

Is spanish already translated? Coz if not, I could help with this one. :D
The new update scrobbles the track twice...
How come?
It was a bit hard to find where to put in my login info, but found it. :D
Any reason why Shoutcast streams are not scrobbled?
Hey there,
that was working for me since yesterday. but i'm getting "LOGIN FAIL" message now.
Error Log:
[last-fm] handshake got not enough lines: ["BADTIME", ""]
Any idea?
I've set a proxy server and it works.
audioscrobbler.net is blocked in my country!!
Works great! But I have to click "Log in to Last.fm.." everytime I start Songbird. Can that be fixed? I'm using SB 0.7.0 and this plugin, on Mac OS Tiger.
I would really love ipod scrobble support
New Songbird user here. The Last.fm addon works perfectly at the present time.
The last.fm plugin does not appear to work with shoutcast streams. The songs I listen to do not appear in my played listing, and loving a track on the radio makes the heart go solid for every song on the radio, none of which get entered into my last.fm profile.
Any plans to change this? I hate flash, so if I can get away from being stuck using the last.fm flash player, I'd be enormously happy.
Other than this, no complaints! Works as intended.
I repeatedly get a "Login Failed" error whenever I try to login using this add-on, but I'm able to login perfectly to the last.fm site when using browser.
Anyone else getting this problem?
Yes...I am having the exact same problem. Didn't have it until I upgraded to the 1.0rc though.
I would be nice if you could display a little 'Last Scrobbled' notification on the applet when you right click and it gives you a link to the profile. I use this to check my scrobbling is working.
A really nice addon, but I hope that there will be some last.fm options on the Services Panel, allowing to play our recommended radio or our neighbours ones
Fantastic app, works great. 1.0.0rc2, Build 842 on Mac.
Wish it would scrobble streaming songs from websites (say hypemachine) - just anything I'm listening to, even if it's not in my library.
I like to use songbird as a site specific browser for last.fm, and I think it would be awesome if this plugin also automagically signed me into the site. ;)
iPod scrobbling support would really make this add-on. It's the one thing that is keeping iTunes on my computer.
Can I configure this add-on for lastfm.ru? And how I can do it?
Yep, iPod scrobbling would be awesome!!!
I was wondering what the trigger is to submit it to the server? Like for the official Last.fm client you can set it anywhere from 50%-100% track length.
better solution with the last.fm scrobbler options
I love this plugin! I have a suggestion: Can we add the "Love" & "Ban" icons to Songbird's miniplayer? These icons are perfectly integrated into the main player and I think uses would appreciate not having to expand the mini player just to Love a track.
I have a suggestion/bug to report, everytime I'm listening to a song and I mark it as I love it. Next time I play the song, the heart icon doesn't show me if I have select it before or not. I'd like to find out which ones I've selected before or not.
thx for wonderful add-on, but could you add iPod scrobling support... tracks what i listen on iPod commit to the last.fm then I plug my player to the computer....
Hello, in Songbird 1.0 I only see "just played", not "now playing" like I used to see (show track while listening it, not after it). What could most likely cause this?
Sorry, my bad, it seems to be last.fm-sidebar-related problem. No probs, great plugin!!
How love tracks on Songbird?
i wish it would scrobble after a certain amount of time, just like the original last.fm client. i think it scrobbles after 50% or 4mins minimum. in songbird, i hardly get my mixtapes scrobbled, unless i listen to them til the end.
Seems this addon is a bit buggy with Now Playing. Sometimes as soon as I play a new track it will update my Now Playing, while other times an entire track will play and it's won't update.
Other than that, thanks :D
The plugin seems to scrobble my songs twice all of a sudden.
Is this a problem of the pugin? Or does it have to do something with the last.fm website?
Last.fm scrobbling support is amazing, unfortunately it doesn't always work. It appears to not be getting the track length from certain tracks played from a website (like hypem.com/popular ). It would be fantastic if I could scrobble tracks I'm listening to without having to download them.
@berror
Mine started to scrobble track even five times!!! I'm not sure what's happening, but if this doesn't change, I'm gonna have to turn the plugin off :|
It's good now - restarting Songbird helped.
@Paranoid_Android
To love current track on last.fm click on the heart icon on the right side of the track progress bar (next to the rating)
im a little confused on how to this to work
how do i set up my profile in songbird for last fm?
i'm having tracks scrobbled several times, even more than 20...
i have songbird 1.0.0, build 860 with plugin 0.3.3.882
is there any solution?
I've got the same problem - with many scrobbles of the same song. What's the deal?
i have a problem with this plugin, this plugin don`t conect to last fm :S help me
You have to activate your account in this addon first.
Click on the (red) last.fm logo in the bottom right corner of songbird (see screenshot) and enter your user name/pasword.
Hi,
First this is a really great plugin. But it seems not to scrobble the songs all the time. With this plugin I often experience the following on my last.fm profile page:
I play song1: It gets displayed correctly on last.fm
I play song2: It gets displayed on my profile page as well
I play song3: It shortly gets displayed on the page but then it gets removed and song2 is displayed instead. Then song3 will never be displayed again... If that happens the scrobbling won't work correctly until I restart songbird. That makes the plugin hardly unusable for me. Can somebody confirm that?
doesn't work with vista or is there something I'm missing?
McFlow, I have the same problem. Some songs get scrobbled, some don't... really annoying. Also, some songs disappear after a while. This addon is pretty hit and miss, sadly :-(
I'll try the other one.
Now I noticed what's going on. I only noticed NOW that you need to listen to half of a song for it to get scrobbled, lol!
Real-time-scrobbling still won't work. I mean the "listening now" -thingy. It just displays just now listened songs, afterwards. I need real-time scrobbling for last.fm-irc-script which uses this realtime-option. It seems that it wasn't a last.fm-sidebar-plugin -related problem. How to fix this?
Ah, the Now Listening thing sometimes doesn't work for me either.
I've noticed in the past few days, it is scrobbling like 10+ plays of each song I listen to. The time/date is all the same for each. I'm not stopping and restarting the songs either. I'm listening to an album through and on my page instead of showing 1 play for each song, it shows numerous plays! It used to not do that! Anyone else having this problem, and can it be fixed??
the problem is because it keeps disconnecting so it rly suck.
OK, this keeps scrobbling 2 plays of each song, which takes up all of my "Recently Played" section. Really annoying.
Anyone else have this problem?
I have normal scrobbles, it just won't always show real-time scrobbling. It seems this plugin has its own mind, it shows "playing just now" only sometimes, and when reseting playback (stop and then playing again). Btw, if it seems not to scrobble or keep logged in at all, check http://status.last.fm/
Agree with Rolle. Same here on Ubuntu 8.10 / Songbird 1.1
Forgot to say; I'm on OpenSUSE 11.0 / Songbird 1.1.
I have the same problem all the time, Rolle.
I have switched to Last.fm Scrobbling Support (another addon) because of this. This addon is really buggy (often disconnects from the servers, the Now Playing bug, double scrobbles sometimes...)
photon_man62: Yeh, me too. Only thing I'm not experienced is double scrobbles, but other than that it seems those bugs are real, I mean real-time-scrobbles and disconnects. I don't want to use Last.fm Scrobbling Support (even if I have it) because it shows "Now playing with Last.fm player". I'm proud of Songbird and I want it to show "Now playing on songbird"...
I'm having a problem with it saying "An error occurred communicating with last.fm servers" Is it last.fm being loosey goosey?
Can you please add support for submitting your songbird playlists to your last.fm profile?
Thanks
I too have been getting mupltiple scrobbles for a single song playing.
One song I listened too earlier today was scrobbled over 30 times! Other anywhere from 10 to 20.
Kinda sucks because it really threw off some of my stats, but oh well. Looks like I won't be using that function anymore.
The plugin keeps disconnecting very often.
It would be very useful if this plug in remembers what we have been listening and updates to our last.fm profile when it connects on the internet.
Is it possible ?
Does this extension really have offline caching now, as the description says, so that played songs get saved for scrobbling when we go back online? When was this added? I don't see it in the version history. This feature is the only reason I've been using the other Last.fm extension, but that extension seems to be having compatibility issues with the Ubuntu-repository version of Songbird. Also, what happened to the status bar time-to-scrobble feature mentioned early in the version history?
love the radio support
looking forward to seeing now/in the future:
-Offline scrobbling
-Time-to-scrobble timer
...as Veritasnoctis said.
@wire_wax: It should already do offline scrobbling...
Wow!!! This Last.fm Radio stream without using the web browser is a very good idea! Unfortunately most of the times it needs too much time to load a station even if I have high speed internet. Sometimes I have to wait and wait and wait.....and nothing happen. But sometimes it works pretty fast. Weird!
Anyway...I ad 5 stars! :P
Yeah, the last update is awesome! Now I can hear my lastfm music with my favorite music software.
Too bad you can't vote with 7 starts ;-)
Really bad news for non-usa, english or german people ...
(http://blog.last.fm/2009/03/24/lastfm-radio-announcement)
"Today we’re announcing an upcoming change to the way Last.fm Radio works in some parts of the world. In the United States, United Kingdom and Germany, nothing will change.
In all other countries, listening to Last.fm Radio will soon require a subscription of €3.00 per month. There will be a 30 track free trial..."
A specialized containment unit made of as-yet-discovered synthetic materials will need to be constructed to contain the sheer awesomeness of what this plug-in has become. Thanks Steve.
@Alex: This is sux!! :(
I live is Canada so I have to pay monthly if I want to listen last.fm radio after March 30. Not because of the money (monthly 3EUR not a big deal), but because of the matter of principle. I can live without last.fm, but I'm sad because this great add-on what you made.
I guess all users will need a subscription to use third party streaming on PCs in future too according to a forum post at last.fm
@Hiromacu
It's not for this moment, but (when it will be active) I think to try a proxy in USA, UK or german to connect lastfm ;-)))
Yaay radio streaming. Great work and congrats to all involved!
Anyone else have to type their password and username in every time they restart Songbird?
last.fm radio is really good! Tx a lot!!
Hey man,
It would be awesome if you fixed some things related to offline mode:
1. When offline, scrobbling can't be disabled
2. When offline, there's a limit of scrobbles in the cache, and then it stops "remembering" other played tracks.
Thanks,
Alvaro
Anybody else having problems signing in? I just did a clean install of vista, reinstalled Songbird and this add-on. Now, when I type in my username and password, I get a message: "Login Failed". I know my password is correct, because I can log into Last.fm site.
I have the same problem as thomasroten:
I have to type the password and username in every time they restart Songbird. :(
Love the new streaming stuff but when I click the Last.fm icon in the left pane and the radio screen is displayed, is there any way that the bottom pannel (mashtape in my case) could stay expanded? Currently it is hidden but it would be useful to get the mashtape info for the current playing artist.
Don't worry the problem I said, is resolved. I'm really stupid cause I had activated "clean password" when close Songbird. :(
The last update is amazing - thanks!!
iPod scrobbling would be good.
Why doesn't the last.fm radio appear on my Linux (Ubuntu) laptop? It's there on my Windows PC.
Hey guys! This is a very good lastfm implementation! I really like the lastfm radio features.
But, please, add a feature/option to exclude specific folders and files from being scrobbled automatically. (like podcasts or anything individual) If winamp can, then you can do it, too!
I get this every once in a while in error log:
[last-fm] Bad Session when posting to last.fm

I cannot get into this add on to put in my log in details for Last.fm the options tab is greyed out. maybe it does not work with the current version of Songbird?
using Songbird 1.1.2
win vista 32bit servicepack 1
i can't login on last'fm - login fail every time with various accaounts - how i can debug it, or solve this problem???
It seems like a few other people are having the same issue as I am: I can't log on. I don't receive an error message, nothing happens at all. When I bring up Error Console, it says there are errors with lines 106 and 464.
I'm using ver. 1.1.2 on Vista.
A solution is much awaited. Thanks in advance.
Apparently I've scrobbled about 10,000 tracks in just over one week. A look at my recent history shows some tracks being scrobbled 2, 3 even up to 20 times.
I'm using Songbird 1.1.2, Build 1042; Last.fm addon 0.4.0.1033; and the "Last.fm friends" addon.
I had the problem with tracks being troubled twice as well. It turned out that I had both last.fm add-ons installed and enabled at the same time, so the track got scrobbled through both. Just disable/uninstall one of them in the add-ons box, or exit the standalone app, or click the icon in the status bar, and it should work fine.
This might just be nitpicking, but is there anyway you could fix the horrible, pixelated Last.fm logo at the top of the radio pages? Here's a link to what it looks like (to me) as well as a replacement image which fixes the problem:
Old, Pixelated:
http://tinyurl.com/SongbirdOldFM
New, Hotness:
(Note: Is White On Transparent)
I've got the same problem that Manchelster describes above (won't login, last.fm extensions unresponsive). I'm also using 1.1.2 on Vista.
Just a guess, but could this have been caused by the last songbird update?
Great addon, love that I can listen to last.fm with Songbird. However, I have a few suggestions:
- Support for the new combo station feature
- Having the tag, shared, playlist buttons next to the love and ban ones.
- Also the ability to access said buttons while in the mini-player mode.
Thanks for all the great work!
This is a really, really great add-on. It's a pitty that I can't use it anymore, because of last.fm's restrictions towards anyone living outside of the USA, UK and Germany.
I've already reported this situation on get satisfaction: http://gsfn.us/t/3spu
So far I haven't had any question, so I'm insisting here.
My question is if SB can do anything about this situation?
I ask this because last.fm mentions something on their blog. They say: "Updating developers using our Radio API: third-party apps that stream Last.fm Radio will have full access to the Radio API, so streaming will work provided the user that logs in is a subscriber. (All other APIs remain free/unchanged)".
Can someone say anything about this?
Thanks!
I'd love to see this add-on made configurable to work with Libre.fm:

I have a problem with 1.2 beta with lastfm addon : when I add a tag for a song, it don't synchronise with my profile. Other settings works fine.
I use french language.
Thks for your help
Hello.
Could someone please confirm, if you have an _ (underscore symbol) within your Last.fm user I.D. this extension work? I am unable to log into the account via the add-on and I am trying to track down the problems.
Thanks...
Problem resolved. I have a new account minus the underscore, but the issue was due to...
"Last.fm cannot authorise any scrobbling! :(
It appears your computer disagrees with us about what the time is.
If you are sure the time is right, check the date is correct and check your timezone is not set to something miles away, like mars.
We're sorry about this restriction, but we impose it to help prevent scrobble spamming."
My new computer had the wrong date by one day...
Don't know why, but with the most current versions of Songbird (1.2) and this plugin, my last.fm streams stop playing after a few songs. Didn't notice it with the versions before?!
I can confirm, this plugin + Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146, plays 5 songs on a last.fm stream then stops.
+1 on Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146 (20090616030052) + this plugin = last.fm stream stops after a few songs.
Newest version under 1.2.0 won't "love" tracks any more.
Recently last.fm made an "improvement" and stops playing, after some time, asking user to click on "resume" button on the popup because they "don't want the music to fall upon deaf ears" (or something like that) - that is observed on firefox, songbird just stops playing.
So I'd like to ask for an improvement in this add-on. Why don't you track user activity (just like various IM clients do) and automatically restart playing of radio station if the user is active and last.fm has disconnected by itself - if the user has been inactive and comes back to "life" then he can restart radio by himself.
Nearly all the time I use computer for work and I like to have some music in the background (some radio station on last.fm) and often (when I'm busy) do not realize for some time that music stopped playing, then I have to switch to firefox/songbird to restart radio.
That would be nice improvement - at least IMHO :)
ENTITY lastfm.radio.subscriber.help is missing in german (maybe more) locale. Gives me a parsing error.
When fixing this error locally, I am although not able to listen to a radio stream.
I have the same error!!! :-(
Wait, why am I being told that I can't listen to Last.fm radio through Songbird now? The link to the blog post states that free radio will continue in the US.
Getting the lovely 'subscribers only' thing even though I'm in the US...
Hey, version 0.4.2.1161 don't let me log in....i'm using Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146 (20090616030043) what should i do?
If you listen to last.fm radio through an external client i.e. any other than the official one, you have to be a subscriber, otherwise it wont work. If you're in the US, UK or any other countries that last.fm allows unlimited streaming you can listen through their official client or through their website.
I don't think there's any way around this.
The last.fm add-on is lame. Why does it not allow one to list to their recommended, etc. lists? I can do this from other players without being a subscriber (e.g. Rhythmbox). Also, I'm in the UK and so the stupid thing should work without having to be a subscriber.
+1 to "I'm from the US so I should be able to use the radio."
If anyone is having problems connecting to last.fm since they upgraded please read here http://blog.last.fm/2009/04/22/radio-subscriptions
can you add something that add's 'loved' tracks to the metadata of the file or somewhere else in songbird library so that we can get the songs we loved easily instead of referring to the last.fm profile?
Same as stopthemjah. Can't login to last.fm with Songbird 1.2.0 and last.fm 0.4.2.1161.
Error console says (many times):
[last-fm] handshake got not enough lines: ["BADAUTH", ""]
Songbird 1.2.0 plus Last.fm 0.4.2.1161 won't let me log in.
Same error as above:
[last-fm] handshake got not enough lines: ["BADAUTH", ""]
This is so great, but have you not yet fixed the delay? After couple of plays "Listening now" in Last.fm is "Just now" -listened, so it scrobbles one track behind, not in real time as it's supposed to scrobb. This is very annoying when using scripts that use last.fm's real time option, last.fm irssi nowplaying script for instance. This bug is currently on both linux (opensuse 11) and windows (xp sp3) machines. Please fix this! Thanks.
well.... i install a old version of Songbird [1.1.2, Build 1042 (20090331142126)] and install the Last.fm plugin, it's work fine now, but with the songbird update stops working. i'll keep that old version for a while.
I'm having the same issue as the others.
[last-fm] handshake got not enough lines: ["BADAUTH", ""]
similar problem as scriptdaemon - except i'm not in the us but in germany.
Anyway. I should be able to listen to last.fm radio without a subscription. but it won't stop asking me for paying...
I'm shocked.
I have read this :
" NOTE: LAST.FM RADIO IS NOW FOR LAST.FM SUBSCRIBERS ONLY, see Last.FM's blog post for more information."
but I do not understand now why we can not access any page in last.fm songbird.
I understand that we can not access the radio but I do not understand why we are denied access to everything.
I noted that this 5-star addon, I decommissioning 1 star for not zero..
In addition to my last comment...
similar problem as scriptdaemon - except i'm not in the us but in germany. Anyway. I should be able to listen to last.fm radio without a subscription. but it won't stop asking me for paying...
...I have to state more precisely:
I can listen to Last.fm Radio via website WITHOUT a subscription (since I'm in Germany).
BUT if I log in via Songbird and try to listen to Last.fm Radio, the plugin demands me to subsribe.
<u>Maybe geolocating doesn't work with Songbird?</u>
I can't Log In :( about 3 days ago. Please, fix the bug. :S
I can't log in.
songbird : 1.2.0 build 1146
lastfm: 0.4.2.1161
please fix the bug.
I can't log in.
Switched to alternative: Last.fm scrobbling support addon and working but your addon is much better please fix the problem with logoin.
I realize that Last.fm has introduced a subscription service for those not in the mentioned countries.
But can't the addon still play without subscription for those of us in the US, UK or Germany? As mentioned in the addon notes - it geolocates by IP to country - so it knows where the it is being accessed from.
I can't log in, too.
Strange ... at work I have no problems with your plug in?!
This plugin isn't working for me anymore. for a while now, but forgot since which version.
I am running songbird 1.2 and 0.4.2 from Last.fm
The icon is there on the bottomright, but when i click / rightclick on it nothing happens.
When i use the menu, login / logout nothing happens. Nothing is shown.
Only thing i can do i turn on and off scrobler but it doesn't work :(
Can someone help me out a bit?
I cant play songs neither... But i live in germany??
What's up with not being able to play songs? I'm in USA, and Rhythmbox still plays last.fm radio just fine.
@brudaswen, @martin_bighomer: Apologies, due to a translation error on my part,
it's broken on locales for users who aren't Last.fm subscribers. I'm awaiting t
ranslations now and should hopefully have a new version pushed in a week or so.
@Quastor, @Jeslimak, @nortexoid, @scriptdaemon, @LiederVogel, @zk7, @jgoerzen: hellocatfood is right - even if you live in the US, UK, or Germany - in order to listen to Last.fm through Songbird (utilising the Last.fm Radio APIs), you must be a subscriber. The free radio listening is *only* for if you listen through their web interface (i.e. go to http://last.fm and browse around and click the 'play radio' links). Other players may be using their old radio API, but (AFAIK), that is an unsupported API now.
@Seb: What do you mean by "can not access any page in last.fm songbird"?
@stopthemjah, @chocolateboy, @Ragna, @phasetwenty: This is strange.. can you tel
l me your Last.fm usernames (you can email them to stevel@songbirdnest.com if yo
u want to keep them private) so I can try and figure out what's wrong?
To everyone: Apologies for not replying to your comments earlier - for some reason I wasn't getting the RSS feed of the comments for this add-on. :( I'm monitoring it now and will hopefully be more responsive now.
This plugin isn't working for me anymore. for a while now, but forgot since which version.

@raamklaza - It's possible you're seeing the bad authentication error others are seeing too. What's your Last.fm username?
No errors at all, that's the weird thing about it.
My username is zeeppompje ( http://www.last.fm/user/zeeppompje )

I cannot log into Last.fm too.
songbird version 1.2.0 Build 1146 + Add on Last.fm 0.4.2.1161
I unistalled the add-on, and installed the previous version, 0.4.1.1146, and is working now, apparently.
My Username on last.fm: http://www.lastfm.com.br/user/Kraftfan
lucasmuzel,
Where did you find the previous versions?
Thanks,
Tom
I've experienced exactly the same thing as lucasmuzel. (last.fm user: stavfel)
For all those having the login issue ("BADAUTH") I suggest reverting to the previous version of this plugin (0.4.1.1146) instead of using the latest (currently 0.4.1.1161). Scrobbling works fine in that older version for me. You can find it here:
http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/106/versions
(as linked in the right column navigation besides the version number as 'version history').
The other last.fm scrobbler pluging requires the last.fm client application to be installed and running in order to scrobble your tracks (which this plugin does not).
Cheers,
kopfkind
Thanks kopfkind. It works for me with the previous version...
Is there any way to automatically scrobble love/hate based on my star ratings?
I've been using songbird's 5-star rating system to rate my songs but I also want this same information to show up in my last.fm profile. Right now this means I have to click 5-star and heart if I love a song or 1-star and ban if I hate it. What I'd like to do is simply click a star rating and have it register as a love/ban depending on the rating. It seems like this feature is easy to implement so I'm wondering if it is already there and I overlooked something.
I tried installing the older version but still same problem :(
If you look at the source of the plugin its easy to disable the "Not Subscriber" message, it wont let you listen online music (may be if you are at the US it will..) but you can use all the other stuff. (REMEMBER: XPI = ZIP, JAR = ZIP, all the logic its at the dot JS files).
whats wrong with radio streaming of last.fm...?
Im in uk and used to be able to play the radios in my kubuntu by amarok....
but here it says its jus for subscribers....
something seems to be wrong with the addon...right?
fyi, Version: Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146 (20090616030043)
OS: XP
This isn't working for me in OS X using Songbird 1.2.0. When I click the Last.fm Radio section it tells me that it's only for subscribers, even though I'm in the US. I can see the list of stations if I go to the website, but then if I try to play any stations it tells me that "there was a problem starting this station". I can still play individual tracks on the website, but that's it.
Why do I have to subscribe to Last.fm to use the Last.fm radio on this plugin?
I totally agree with sawkey. It's a step into the wrong direction. I still want to use Songbird for listening to last.fm's radio stations even if I am not a subscriber (anymore).
But using the current version of the plugin forces me to subscribe again. Can't we have back the old plugin which doesn't use the API? Or can me someone point to the source line where I can disable the last.fm API for myself? I know, it may not be that easy... ;)
With Firefox (and other browsers) I still can listen to the stations without being a subscriber.
Friends, that doesn't make sense, does it?
Thank you!
You can still listen for free using their web interface, just open a browser tab and go to last.fm and listen to radio there. It won't play using any of Songbird's controls though, since it doesn't use the API.
In order to use the radio API, you *need* to be a Last.fm subscriber. Again, this is out of our control... this is a decision Last.fm made, so there's no point complaining about it here.
Sorry stevel, but this isn't correct and really doesn't work -- at least for me (still not a last.fm subscriber) and there is no change for a long time now.
Case 1: If I go http://www.last.fm/listen and try to start a station, the page displays "Oops, there was a problem starting this station. Please try again" on a yellowish background, while the Songbird player (I mean the player at the bottom of Songbird) displays "Loading last.fm station" for some seconds and also a progress bar. Then the message and the bar disappears and nothing happens.
Case 2: If I go, say http://www.last.fm/music/Depeche+Mode and try to "Play Depeche Mode Radio", Songbid player behaves as described above (message and bar), nothing else.
Case 3: If I go, say http://www.last.fm/music/Depeche+Mode/_/Enjoy+the+Silence, I can play this single song right on the page via the flash player in the upper right corner.
If I disable the plugin, all goes well, except for scrobbling, which is perfectly clear having the plugin disabled. ;)
So, what do you think is the problem? Is it my problem alone? Aren't these signs that in case 1 & 2 Songbird makes use of the API?
The other day I tried one of the older versions of the plugin with Songbird 1.1.2 and it worked with no problems (as far as I do remember -- will further investigate if you want me to do so). Unfortunately they are not compatible with Songbird 1.2. Umm, I could stick with 1.1.2 but... you know.
Btw, thank you for Songbird which I really love and prefer over many other music players, even Winamp!
Oh, I forgot to mention that I am using Last.fm-plugin version 0.4.2.1161.
And I've seen just now, that there are two newer versions available, but they seem to be versions for Songbird's 1.3 RCs.
In new version of the addon nothing has been fixed about the problem with login to the lastfm service-and dammed I don't want to lisen to their dame radio I just want to scrobble my track to my account without any problem is this so hard to understand from developers?
@zelosity: Can you try the XPI at http://whacked.net/scratch/audioscrobbler-0.4.4pre+dev-200907281814.xpi
It's the latest one for the 1.3 nightlies, I've just adjusted it to be compatible with 1.2 as well. I tried reproducing your cases 1, 2, & 3 (btw - thanks for the clear steps, that makes my life much easier with respect to trying to reproduce bugs) and if I'm logged in as a subscriber it plays via the API, and if I'm logged in as a non-subscriber, it plays via the flash applet just fine. If you're already logged in when you install the XPI and restart, you may need to explicitly log out and log back in to clear all the session cookies from any older version of the add-on.
Please let me know if that version works for you... it's what we'll be shipping imminently with 1.3.
@tmacher: Software development and debugging is hard. Your ignorant and pissy attitude makes it even harder. kthxbai.
Installed and scrobbles fine, but when I try to play the radio through Songbird it errs. I log in to my Last.FM account through Songbird, it wants me to subscribe! I have no such problem running Last.FM through Firefox, as I live in the US, one of the countries exempted from the fee. Is the fee only in place for Songbird use?
@stevel: Yippee-Yeah, radio is back! :) Thank you for the updated plugin! I will keep testing and reporting if any other issues occur to me. Thanks again!
@Breadcleaner: We (stevel, me) were talking about Last.fm's radio located here: http://www.last.fm/listen (which is part of last.fm's web pages), not about the recently introduced left hand navigation entry in Songbird (see: Radio > Last.fm), which you possibly meant/tried. For the latter you still need to be a subscriber. But that's what Last.fm decided to change/introduce, not Songbird's developers, afaik.
Can't sign-in through the normal means. Enter login details and hit it, but it just hangs, and won't ever go past "logging in...".
Only reason I can think of is that I'm running off a mobile connection and this somehow jiggers it. Other than this my Songbird experience so far has been topnotch, only redownloaded a few days ago since I had it in 2007 and it now seems to kick a LOT more ass.
I had reverted to last.fm add-on build 1146 when radio stopped working and that fixed it -- until today. Has last.fm closed that door or this perhaps just transient?
@stevel
oh finally somebody answered my cry.I'm sorry about that my post had to be so ignorant but it did it-it mange to turn your attention. I really did not want this but i though that users with the problem like mine were omitted and you only focused on the radio api problem-but now I see I was wrong. Keep up god work
@tomrossi: The old API seems to be flaky... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... since Last.fm isn't supporting it anymore, there's not much to be done about it. :( You'll have to either use the web interface to listen to radio or pay for a subscription and use the new Last.fm Radio API support in the new builds.
Thanks stevel. I continue to try to stream radio with the old build but I think it's more than flakiness. Hasn't worked for at least a week now. That's a shame. I really liked the Songbird integration.
You guys are doing a great job. Ignore the whiners.
Tom
So apparently if I'm not subscribed to Last.fm, I can't use the Last.fm radio in Songbird?
I can stream the radio normally because I live in the US but not through Songbird. If I do it through Songbird it asks me to subscribe.
Piki: Yup. You can continue to stream the radio through Last.fm's web player (by simply opening a browser tab to http://www.last.fm), but if you try to use the integrated player which utilises Last.fm's API, you need to be a subscriber.
so... the last version (0.4.2.1161) don't let me log in, a older version (0.4.1.1146) keep given me "Login Failed" message. What should i do??? I'm using Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146 (20090616030043).
stopthemjah: same problem
errr.... that's very simple, but check your system date. it works to me.
hmmmm...
Just noticed that Last.fm won't scrobble artists starting with special characters. In this case [re:jazz]. The problem seems to go away, if I edit the artist metadata to re:jazz or even re:jazz], but I think that's kind of annoying... Any chance of this getting fixed or is this a last.fm (site) problem?
Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146 (20090616030043)
Last.fm 0.4.2.1161
It would be a nice option to only scrobble tracks in certain playlists. Having to manually turn off the scrobbler when listening to an audiobook gets annoying, and forgetting mucks up profiles. Besides, I usually get full albums, not just singles, so I can try all the songs out. It'd be nice to set only certain tracks to scrobble. For example, 4 and 5 stars only. Basically, a scrobbler playlist with standard filters.
Anyway...
A basic plugin is better then none at all. I got sick of iTunes, switched to Winamp, got pissed again, and found Songbird. It has issues to work out, but I like it, and an open source means it will only get better. Thank you for volunteering your time and code.
Hooray for cross-platform! I'm on my way Linux!
Hi guys,
I use this Songbird/Last.fm plugin on both my Windows Vista and my Ubuntu 9.04 home computer. Works pretty good, however I have an annoyance that I am not sure how to address.
In my Linux version when using Last.fm, everytime a song finishes and a new one begins, if the window is minimized, it maximizes itself. Only happens in the Linux version- could you possibly add it to the preferences to prevent this behavour? Thanks.
Tim
I was using it for a while and everything was perfect until a couple days ago. Songbird just stopped scrobbling even when I have the "enable scrobbling" checked (in the tools menu). Also, nothing happens when I click the log in to or log out of last.fm options. It never asks me for my username or my password.
I've tried everything! I re-installed both songbird and last.fm add-on, and I still have the same issue.
I don't care that much about the radio streaming since I am able to listen to it through the web interface of songbird.
George
Great addon..really like it.
one problem tho...Iv downloaded version 1146 as this is the version of songbird I have. Scrobbling works fine now. But if I do into last.fm in the browser, or by using the radio link (radio->last.fm) and then click to listen to a radio station, nothing happens. Songbird says "loading last.fm station" at the top where songs normally play but it never plays :(
I also downloaded another version of your addon (think it was a more recent one) and songs played from last.fm radio staions but scrobbling didnt work as I could log in!! lol
Thanks
Jonny
This addon doesnt work. I cant log in. But when i click log in at site-- i do
Doesn't allow me to log in any more... :(
It stopped working for me too: Unable to log in. And I thought last.fm is free for German users?!
Hope you can figure it out; let me know if you need any logfiles/tests from me.
Still can't login. Command line says:
LOGIN PHASE: handshake
handshake session key: e8a3154d8ed2eaf7054cc5c8ecc5ed32
handshake FAILED with code: false
Response text: BADTIME
My computer time and time zone is absolutely right.
I want to scrobb again! Please, somebody help?
Mine stopped working so I downgraded to version 0.4.1.1146. Scrobbling works but not the radio.
Version 0.4.1.1146 doesn't let me log in too...
Now I can log in, but the delay is still not fixed. My last comment about this:
"This is so great, but have you not yet fixed the delay? After couple of plays "Listening now" in Last.fm is "Just now" -listened, so it scrobbles one track behind, not in real time as it's supposed to scrobb. This is very annoying when using scripts that use last.fm's real time option, last.fm irssi nowplaying script for instance. This bug is currently on both linux (opensuse 11) and windows (xp sp3) machines. Please fix this! Thanks."
Songbirds standard scrobblingtool doesn't work for me, so i thougt i'd install this one.
So i installed this via songbirds browser, it tells me to restart the program, i do as i am told, still no scrobbling...
I just found out something interesting:
I've installed the latest version of songbird (1.2.0.1146) and last.fm (0.4.2.1161) on my desktop and my laptop. On my laptop (Win Vista), the scrobbling works; but on my desktop (Win XP, SP3) the addon doesn't log in....
Anyone with the same experience?
Hi, I noticed today this plugin stopped working. It refuses to log me in. I noticed two errors both related to nsLoginManager.js:
Error: [Exception... "'invalid file header in signons file' when calling method: [nsILoginManagerStorage::init]" nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Songbird/xulrunner/components/nsLoginManager.js :: anonymous :: line 106" data: no]
Source File: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Songbird/xulrunner/components/nsLoginManager.js
Line: 106
and
Error: this._storage is null
Source File: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Songbird/xulrunner/components/nsLoginManager.js
Line: 479
Could it be that last.fm decided to change something on their end regarding the login process or did I break something (I tried the latest overnight build to see if it stopped giving me bogus Folder Management errors. It did but I hated the lack of add-on support, so decided to rollback to the current 1.20 release).
i have the same problem...i can't login on lastfm and i can't log in lastfmradio also on songbird, it just continue to try connection without stopping, but it doesn't log in...this is the message of error console:
[last-fm] handshake got not enough lines: ["BADAUTH", ""]
Same thing for me. The add-on just stopped working yesterday with no apparent reason.
Error: this._storage is null
Source File: file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Songbird/xulrunner/components/nsLoginManager.js
Line: 479
This app sucks. It no longer works. I click a station I want to play but it just says loading last.fm station. I think you have to be a subscriber. Screw Last.fm, Ruining a perfectly good plug in. I uninstalled it. Hopefully they will realize the errors of their way. I know I can open a tab and go to last.fm site but thats besides the point.
i had the same problem and here is my solution.
- i 've dowloaded the latest version of the addon (0.4.4.1284)
- opened it with winrar
- opened the "install.rdf" with notepad
- then set the minVersion to 1.2.0
- saved everything and draged the file in the songbird addons
- after the restart of songbird i can now scroble again
no chrashes until yet, i just tested scrobling
hope this helps someone
Nice tipp bugmenotsongbird! I did what you said, and now I can scrobble again!!
Thanks alot.
@Songbird: Since we don't have issues with this "min version hack", how about releasing an official version with a min version of 1.2.0. Particularly since this is the newest official version of Songbird...
Does this Plugin support offline Scrobbling and does it scrobble on 50% or 100%
And is it available on the 1.4 version
Hi there. I have problems with the addon.
1st... If i start SB (1.4b3) last.fm won't logvin automatically.
2nd... I reinstalled SB. If I have a loved or banned song the symbol isn't activated.
It seems that I have to subscribe to use the Last.FM playlist in Songbird . I can normally just stream on Last.fm without subscribing. What gives? =/
any idea when this little app will update playcounts from a synced ipod or mp3 player?
love lastfm & dont want to lose all my playcounts when im on the move listening to my ipod =]
Needs to only scrobble the first artist. In WMP only the first artist before the semi-colon is scrobble which is a beautiful way of handling it. That way I don't have to put "featuring" in the song title. Songbird change the semi-colon+space into a "/" and all the artists and slashes get scrobbled.
I can't scrobble and 'love' certain tracks any more. What could be the problem? A DRM issue?
Hi, I would want to translate this module to the Russian language. Please tell me your email, simply reply to fatcoow@gmail.com">my mail. Thanks, Marcis Gasuns.
Some time ago I updated to Songbird 1.2. Recently I noticed no entry for Last.fm shows up below "Radio" (SHOUTcast does) although scrobbling seems to work. I updated to 1.4.0.b3 but nothing changed. The Last.fm icon for logging out / in in the lower right corner works.
I deinstalled Songbird and deleted all profile information but still Last.fm doesn't show up belowa Radio after new fresh installation.
Any hints?
--
using Windows Vista
@fwhamm - Yeah, the Last.fm Radio node only shows up now if you are a subscriber (since you have to be a Last.fm subscriber in order to listen to radio via the API now)
@stevel thanks for the information. I thought they changed this to many countries but not for US, UK and Germany.
Thinking about subscribing because I like the service a lot - but subsciption could be a little less than 36 Euro / years ...
unfortenately this addon wont work. when i choose it in the left panel, i get an error message:
XML Parsing Error: undefined entity

-----------------------------------^
is this a bug?
Version: Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146 (20090625103913)
on xubuntu 9.10 system.
other addons (mediaflow, lyricmaster etc.) woks fine and i am logged in with my last.fm account. thanks & greez from germany
Is it possible to add keyboard shortcuts for love/ban/tag tracks ?
@stevel - What about the people that leave in US? We can listen to the radio without paying for subscription. The addon already geolocates my IP address to show me the popular artist in my country. Why not use this to decide is the radio panel should be display or not?
I don't plan to subscribe because I'm in the US
anyway of hooking up the ratings system with love/ban tracks?
also any way of adding loved track detail to metadata of the song?
really nice add on.
it would be absolutely top if it would have the possibility to save the streamed songs from lastFm radios. somethink like TheLastRipper.
I'm a LastFM subscriber and the radio player does not show up for me. I believe this started with the latest build. It always previously showed up.
Version: Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146 (20090616030043)
This add on seems to be broken with songbird 1.4.3, its not loggin me in to last.fm, it stops at connecting.. anybody else seeing this issue..
I've got the same problem as dabster. I'm not getting logged in.
@dabster @Brvis Same for me, but only on my win 7 machine. My XP build at work is logging in fine.
@Atomox: I'm having the problem on Vista...
That is cool!
I do really love this addon, it is the one of the best things and sometimes main reasons I use Songbird. Only thing that has been bothering me for a couple of weeks, is that after playing 4-5 songs on Last.fm in Songbird, it suddenly stops, which is kinda a big bummer. If anyone knows a workaround of this, will be very useful. Other than that, this is my favorite addon for Songbird.
For me it dosen't work also (Songbird 1.4.3).
This is what I've got from netstat (each '==' is a 2 second wait, the 195.24.233.53 is an Last.fm IP):

Cannot log onto last.fm accounts
Hey all, I installed this add-on and although the scrobbling works fine, I do not seem to have any support for the intigrated player features in Songbird. If some would could please help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Justin
Hi everyone,
I'm using Songbird 1.4.3 with Last.fm 1.0.0.1430 installed. I can't seem to login to Last.fm using this extension. Scrobbling doesn't work and the rotating image continues to rotate like it never ends.
I look forward on the fix for this.
Thank you very much in advance.
Andrew
Doesn't login for me either
I uninstalled songbird and by accident I re-installed an old version, 1.2.0., which is working very fine with last.fm add-on version 1.0.0.1430. I guess the add-on isn't compatible with the latest version of Songbird. But that's just a guess. :)
Now I'm happy scrobbling again.
^^ Cool - is there any way to get 1.2.0?
Yeah... Radio still doesn't work. Is this just me?
Just thougt id say that this doesnt work with latest songbird, id be happy if you let me know when it does, either through here or post a comment on my blog.
http://th7th.wordpress.com
The blog is in swedish but i think the page itself should be in english.
same problem as many above...
since update from 1.2.?? to Songbird 1.4.3, Build 1438
no loggin in any more.
sad!
Are you guys seeing any error messages pertaining to Last.fm in the error console? None of us have been able to reproduce this failure to login here. :(
I have a quick question. After a lot debate, I'm going to buy the subscription to last.fm I really need it :)
But the only thing I want to make sure is that the radio panel will show up after I register... I'm only subscribing because I want to have the radio bar under radios or anywhere it is now.
no, there are no error messages, it just doesn't do anything.
clicking on log on, a status bar shows up and the icon is animated. and this just goes on and on...
I'm not sure, but few days ago I wanted to know my IP Adress and gave a wrong command. and some connections were on "wait" maybe it's the last.fm connection???
Try doing the following:
1. Go to http://www.last.fm/settings/applications/ and remove the "Songbird Last.fm Support".
2. Log out of http://www.last.fm
3. Log out of the Last.fm scrobble support in Songbird (Tools>Log out of Last.fm)
3. In Songbird, go to Preferences>Privacy>Show Cookies
4. Filter on "last" and remove every Last.fm related cookie (note: if you're outside of the US, they may be under other domains, e.g. lastfm.fr for example)
5. Try logging in again: Tools>Log into Last.fm
If that still doesn't work, then please let me know the following:
1. What country are you in?
2. What version of the Last.fm add-on are you using?
3. What version of Songbird are you using?
4. What platform are you on?
5. What locale are you using (if not the default English-US)
6. In the http://www.last.fm/settings/applications page, did the "Songbird Last.fm Support" application get added?
Hello, I followed the steps, cleared all cookies relating to last.fm & then tried logging into last.fm using 'Tools>Log into Last.fm'
but still shows
[last-fm] handshake got not enough lines: ["BADAUTH", ""]
Rightnow, I'm in India using plugin 0.4.2.1161 & Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146 (20090623145010) on linux i686 with default English-US locale and no songbird didnt get added to applications list of last.fm.
Now I'm updating to songbird 1.4.3 to give it one more try.
@stevel
It worked!
Thanks for the help!
Can you tell me what was wrong?
I was recently experiencing a problem very similar to those who posted recently. I attempted the fix stevel suggested with no success.
The way i managed to fix this was by
1. uninstalling songbird
2. then deleting my user profile that is not removed after an uninstall located in: C:/users/username/appdata/roaming/songbird2
3. reinstall
I hope this helps!
still doesn't work... :( I even tried to downgrade it but it doesn't work anymore.
Need some help!
