RoadKill Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 For anyone new who doesn't know about this, or for existing members of the Audioscrobbler Cube-Europe group, I've created a new group. http://www.last.fm/group/Revolution-Europe The previous one being: http://www.last.fm/group/Cube-Europe If you don't know what Audioscrobbler is, please, I emplore you to take a look, basically it's a plugin which reports the music you listen to, and then it can build up charts for you, and the groups you are in. It's pretty awesome and I think it's an awesome thing for any music fan, I sometimes use my charts to see music that I might like.
kopo Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 I'm on it, but for some obscure reason mine stopped updating...
Blackfox Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 I've joined. My Last.fm site is http://www.last.fm/user/JamesQuinn/ fr those that are interested (please ignore the MJ, my sister is too much of an idiot to use WMP.)
Tilim Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 I joined in, even though I'm not at the new IRC channel yet. Hope you don't mind.
Surrealist Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 I would join, but I hardly ever listen to music on my computer anymore (all my music is downstairs, but I use the computer I'm on now to go on forums). Is there any real point in me joining?
RoadKill Posted September 18, 2005 Author Posted September 18, 2005 It's all cool, it's for members of the forums too, it's just cool to see what everyone listens to
rizz Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 http://www.last.fm/user/rizzly/ Joined. Mine is not that accurate though, as I had it turned of for maybe 6 months so MJ would have been plus a few thousand. Other than that i'd say it's all good. Although I have no recollection of listening to MCR 44 times, 20 at the most.
Surrealist Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 On the group page does it actually show everyone's music artists and stuff added up? Or does it just link to everyone elses?
Guest Jordan Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 I'm in Joined like before, expect mucho initial D and game music...

Monopolyman Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 I've joined. I probably wont care about this after 5 minutes, though.
Surrealist Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Meh, I'll just join, I found out I have an account on there from many moons ago, I'll just use it anew...
RoadKill Posted September 18, 2005 Author Posted September 18, 2005 It will eventually (when they compile the stats) show everyone's music charts compounded together, but it's not realtime by any means, the database is heeeeuge. Yeah, monopolyman, the idea is you set and forget, it doesn't need any input from you once it's setup.
Ice9 Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 I didnt know we had an old one, but i'll join this. Im Supernova36 on there. Pio, i see you're a Feeder fan
Surrealist Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 So will it take a few days for my profile to update itself with all the stuff I've played today then?
RoadKill Posted September 18, 2005 Author Posted September 18, 2005 Yeah. It takes a while. It's disconcerting at first. Although it should list all the songs you last listened to if it's been working, in real time. Edit: Just looked at your page. You did, erm... Install the plugin, didn't you?
Surrealist Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Installed, and followed all the instrctions to get it working (using the iTunes one) and it says it has, "Failed to handshake with the server".... EDIT: That's what comes up. Also, it's not Norton Internet Security blocking it. What's going on?! EDIT2: Just asked on the last.fm forums and apparently a lot of people can't handshake at the moment, I think it may be a server problem.
Dieter Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Installed, and followed all the instrctions to get it working (using the iTunes one) and it says it has, "Failed to handshake with the server".... Your plugin is rude so the server won't let him connect. Duh.
Surrealist Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Ah, it's all worked now, server problems indeed *tuts*
RoadKill Posted September 18, 2005 Author Posted September 18, 2005 Haha, yeah, I had an issue earlier too, no big deal.
Bowser57 Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Right, as far as I can tell I've installed it and signed up. No real sign of anything happening though. I guess we'll see. Edit: Seems to be working now.
harribo Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 I've joined. I probably wont care about this after 5 minutes, though. Ive done exactly the same
Arragaun Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 I've been on this for a bit, my user's identical to my email address.
Surrealist Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Well... Sorry to bump this, but it's doing it again! Damn you servers! And on another note, how long do you think it'll be 'til the charts are compiled (not sure why I'm so interested in that...)
