It’s good Add-On, but in my Songbird 0.5pre sometimes don’t send nothing to last.fm.

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.

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

thanks Timo. 0.0.4 incorporates your fix.

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 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.

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?

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.

-       var rating = "L";

+       var rating = "";


        // Can only scrobble if we're logged in

        if (!this.loggedIn())

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!!

Worked for me as well, thank you!

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.

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!

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.
