Help! My iPod Wont Scrobble!
Posted: April 28th, 2008 | Author: Seth | Filed under: Hacks | Tags: help, ipod, lastfm, scrobble, scrobbling | 1 Comment »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.
- Plug your iPod into your computer.
- Exit Last.fm.
- Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and run Task Manager.
- Exit out LastFM.exe and LastFMHelper.exe if they are running.
- Close Task Manager.
- Run Last.fm.
- The scrobble box should pop up with a list of songs that need to be scrobbled.
- 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.
