I am writing this post because when my iPod would no longer be scrobbled, I had to dig through lots of pages in the Last.fm forum to find an answer.  One of the solutions was to download a Java based program that would access the Audio Scrobbler that Last.fm has running on your computer.  I could not acutally get the program–a link timed out–but if you would like to try it, it can be found on Last Pod.

However, the method I used was easy enough that almost anyone can do it.

1. Plug your iPod into your computer.
2. Exit Last.fm.
3. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and run Task Manager.
4. Exit out LastFM.exe and LastFMHelper.exe if they are running.
5. Close Task Manager.
6. Run Last.fm.
7. The scrobble box should pop up with a list of songs that need to be scrobbled.
8. If this didn’t work.  Try doing this again and closing all processes that have to do with iTunes also.

So there you have it.  Enjoy all your scrobbled songs.
