iScrobble

 

Already scrobbled today?

“Scrobbling a song means that when you listen to it, the name of the song is sent to Last.fm and added to your music profile.”

I just downloaded iScrobble and added a LastFM widget to this page. Unfortunately, the widget does not fit 100%. So, I have to modify the page layout a bit soon.

The tool does permanently upload your played songs (including syncing the iPod playlist). Welcome to the new world. Big brother – and the media industry is watching what you are listening. However, LastFM provides some great possibilities so search for similar music and artists.

Pressing shift while clicking a folder in Explorer brings up the Open Command Window then.
