Audioscrobbler is fun.

For those of us who listen to a lot of music on our computers... Here's the deal: you install a plugin for your media player of choice, then the Audioscrobbler plugin registers what songs you listen to and how often and you get a statistics page like this (mine):

...so you know what stuff you listen to most often, etc, but the best part is that you can create groups, for example, if a couple of RC people would sign up, we could create a Royal Carnage group, and then after a while there would be group statistics that showed what bands were most popular in the group... Might be interesting, or not. Go ahead, sign up, or don't, see if I care. I like the idea though.

you need a more JOIN OR DIE-attitude, Erik. Like this:

ALL WHO ARE NOT IN THE GROUP TWENTY-FOUR HOURS FROM NOW ARE my pals AND ALL KINDS OFOTHER BAD STUFF!!

 

[Krilons Resa]

Well, I'm not a my pals so I'll sign up right now.

 

[JayKeeley]

This sounds like a brilliant idea. I'll sign up at some point tonight.

Thing is, does this mean I have to start listening to music on my PC? OK, seeing as it's for scientific purposes.

Early guesses for most common albums amongst us all?

*signs up to avoid getting tagged as a "my pals"*

 

[Krilons Resa]

Yes, as MP3's or OGG's with ID3 tags too... It's really convenient in the long run to have an entire collection on hard drive anyway... I started ripping my albums to disk when my stereo receiver broke, but now I've become so accustomed to the convenience that I actually rarely pull out actual CD's anymore...

Ya, me too. After I got my speaker system for my computer, its been all played on them.


Does this thing do this automatically or do I have to scan my media library for files??? I just register, download, intall, and wallah?? I joined RC too. I am BSW.

Sorath / fooitkmbm should be a drill sergeant.

I'll sign up so I can join the Cool People Crowd, but I listen to about 3 mp3's a month on my PC.

 

[Hell Mike]

Install the plug-in and it's automagical. I fear my list will be embarrassing when my younger brother has occupied this seat for a while...

 

[Krilons Resa]

Sweet, so I'll just sit back and let it do its thing.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

yeah, I'm using Winamp to listen to a CD and its working fine. Fucking CDDB doesn't work on winamp for me so I have to program the titles in manually

 

[Krilons Resa]

shit isnt working for me yet...

 

[Krilons Resa]

Well, it works but most of the shit I am trying "is not valid for submittion"?!?!?!

 

[NAD]

This is the second site in the past month that already has the username NAD taken.

But LongDongSilver wasn't, so that's me.

 

[NAD]

Hey there we go, I thought I joined the group automatically and was wondering why my name wasn't appearing.

 

[Tranquillian]

I'm fucking in. Too bad I didn't see this earlier. Have played Nasheim - Blood fire death 8 times tonight

 

[Tranquillian]

I just noticed that it didnt register a 10 minute long song I played. Baaaad.

 

[spikes77]

I am signed up as well.

 

[Hell Mike]

I get pissedoff every thime it doesn't register something which is a bit too often

 

[speed]

I'd rather be a my pals than take orders from someone I dont know. Seriously its a interesting idea, I just have no need to objectify my listening preferences into statistics or data.

 

[Hell Mike]

Noone gave you orders and I hate you.
