Scrobbling Your Pandoras Update

1 Comment

The Firefox extension that I mentioned the other day seems to be working.  Here is the homepage for it, if you’re interested.

At first, I thought that this little mother wasn’t doing the job, either, but as it turns out, it won’t submit a song until you’ve reached the end of it and the next one has started.  Makes sense, really, since you only wanna submit tracks that you’re listening to, but slightly different behavior than some other scrobblers.

Scrobble is a great word.

In random unrelated news, how is it that yesterday I had a bowl of Peanut Butter Crunch for breakfast and was barely hungry by 12:30, but today I had a hearty bowl of Grape Nuts and right now I AM STARVING.

It's All On the Googles, Man.

I should know better by now: every idea or thought worth having has probably been had already, and indexed by Google.

I have periodically ruminated at my desk in the afternoons, “Hmm, it sure would be nice to scrobble my Pandora listening to last.fm,” but I never bothered to do anything about it.  One quick G-search for “scrobble pandora list to last.fm” turned up this post about one’s options for marrying the two services.  Who knew?  Apparently, this Ted chap in Columbus did, and almost two years ago at that, but hey… *shrug*

I am trying out the OpenPandora app on my computer @ work (seein as it runs Windows), but will probably give a shot to PandoraFM at home on Ubuntu. **Some edits: well, I guess info on the Internet gets old, too.  Seems that I got a little excited too quickly on this one; can’t get OpenPandora OR PandoraFM to scrobble a frakkin thing.  I found some other leads, though, including a Firefox extension that I’ll try out.  Will update as appropriate. Might be an interesting way for people who don’t have a huge music collection or minute-to-minute access to it to start scrobbling…

Carry on, my wayward son; have a good weekend.
