128 AAC = 192 MP3

false
― abanana, Thursday, 24 January 2008 12:42 (sixteen years ago) link
read it on a digital audiophile site ages ago and made sense considering AAC is the more efficient format. i don't use it tho.
not trying to be wet blanket but only 8 of my top 50 tracks can be heard in full so far and around half don't even have a 'play 30 seconds' button. not really obscure stuff either.

you've only yourself to blame if base58.com can't come to an agreement
― ledge, Thursday, 24 January 2008 12:53 (sixteen years ago) link
bitrate is more important than format. aac is a little better than lame mp3 at low bitrates but not that much.

Wonder how much this subscription will be and if it will be worth it?

hmm it didn't show http://lastfm.obsessive-media.de/weekly/3x10/trailofgybe.jpeg
Weird, now it has.

I haven't tried this before, let's see if it works:

why does last.fm never srobble RA podcasts?
― jergïns, Friday, 21 March 2008 16:41 (sixteen years ago) link
This is pretty cool:
http://www.associativetrails.com/stuff/normalisefm/index.cfm
It ranks your top artists by how many minutes you have spent listening to them, rather than how many different tracks. Then it even tells you how your rankings have changed. So, for me, Stars of the Lid (looong tracks) bumped up ten spots, and Cassetteboy (many short tracks per album) dropped down 24 spots. Pretty cool.
― Z S, Friday, 21 March 2008 17:30 (sixteen years ago) link
pretty cool.
yah thanx
― jergïns, Friday, 21 March 2008 17:33 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, that's neat. My biggest beneficiaries were, unsurprisingly, electronic artists. Luomo, for instance, jumped up 20 spots from #27 to #7.

Who broke the top artists?
― Herman G. Neuname, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 15:48 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, my top artists are completely screwed up. I've lost probably 5,000-6,000 scrobbled tracks.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 15:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah. My top 50 top artists has been wiped out. Hardly any of those acts are there now. It looks as almost as if its now a rolling 3 month chart for top artists.
― Herman G. Neuname, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 15:52 (sixteen years ago) link
If i go to the full top artists chart it's fine though. How strange http://www.last.fm/user/trailofgybe/charts/?charttype=overall&subtype=artist
― Herman G. Neuname, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 15:53 (sixteen years ago) link
couldn't find this thread earlier because of that missing 'c'
overall charts are broke for many users right now - apparently it's being fixed
― blueski, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 16:14 (sixteen years ago) link
It's fixed now.
― Herman G. Neuname, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 17:12 (sixteen years ago) link
mine was fixed-- yesterday when it was fucked up it said "last generated mar 25 2008" now it's fixed and last generated "mar 23 2008"

Your musical compatibility rating with giganticmag is: Super
? it scrobbles whatever you play. maybe its your media player
― tremendoid, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 23:17 (sixteen years ago) link
i found a sweet hack to scrobble my sony walkman.
― tremendoid, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 23:18 (sixteen years ago) link
ra podcasts are the only thing it won't scrobble
― jergïns, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 23:24 (sixteen years ago) link
maybe it's the length of the mp3 crapping out either your media player or the scrobble plugin. i haven't noticed any problems but i wasn't really paying attention recently
― tremendoid, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 23:27 (sixteen years ago) link
i think you're right that it has something to do with the length
― jergïns, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 23:37 (sixteen years ago) link
Never had this message before Importing Listening History… We're currently creating your charts and finding musical neighbours based on the music you've listened to on your computer. This may take a few hours, thanks for your patience!
Did everyone else get the same? Maybe I'll finally get good new neighbours!
― Herman G. Neuname, Monday, 31 March 2008 13:40 (sixteen years ago) link
Been a while since I summed up what was #1 on the ILXor chart:
Jan. 6: Burial, "Archangel" Jan. 13: Radiohead, "Reckoner" Jan. 20: Magnetic Fields, "Three-Way" Jan. 27: Hot Chip, "Ready for the Floor"
Feb. 3: Vampire Weekend, "Oxford Comma" Feb. 10: Hot Chip, "Ready for the Floor" Feb. 17: Hercules and Love Affair, "Blind" Feb. 24: Vampire Weekend, "A-Punk"
Mar. 2: Vampire Weekend, "A-Punk" Mar. 9: Vampire Weekend, "A-Punk" and "Oxford Comma"; Portishead, "Hunter" and "Silence" (4-way tie) Mar. 16: Portishead, "Silence" Mar. 23: Portishead, "Machine Gun" Mar. 30: Portishead, "Silence"
Apr. 6: Cut Copy, "Out There on the Ice" Apr. 13: Cut Copy, "Feel the Love"; Ladytron, "Black Cat" (tie)

i don't get how the group stats work.
― poortheatre, Thursday, 17 April 2008 14:23 (sixteen years ago) link
It's an aggregation of ILXOR group members tracks listened to, isn't it?
― Neil S, Thursday, 17 April 2008 15:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, if you're in the ILXOR group, then the #1 song is just the song that the greatest number of ILXors have listened to that week. It usually takes at least 15, and sometimes as many as 30, different listeners to make #1.

The open minded index thing is back up and running http://omi.musickum.com/index.php5 Mine went up to 142
― Herman G. Neuname, Thursday, 17 April 2008 18:13 (sixteen years ago) link
i gotcha, so even though i listened to 'wichita lineman' 20 something times this week, it won't break the charts :(
(165!)
― poortheatre, Thursday, 17 April 2008 20:32 (sixteen years ago) link
Still 142.
Anyway , http://pict.fm/results/d7d599dc57.html you can put 7 slideshow pics of bands or album covers (if you choose the further options/show more pics/show album covers) That's what I have on my page. 7 album covers (Looks better than band pics)
― Herman G. Neuname, Thursday, 22 May 2008 00:05 (sixteen years ago) link
go to http://pict.fm select the 7 bands then click on MORE OPTIONS FOR THE SELECTED ARTIST. Then click SHOW ALBUM COVERS. and select 1 album cover by each of the 7 bands.
― Herman G. Neuname, Thursday, 22 May 2008 00:12 (sixteen years ago) link
Lets see if mine shows http://pict.fm/results/d7d599dc57.gif
― Herman G. Neuname, Thursday, 22 May 2008 00:15 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh yeah, you can do as many as you like. Would be better if there was more than 7 allowed on each one though.

New look site can be viewed as a beta (subscribers only) at http://beta.last.fm/home
We've kept this to ourselves long enough. It's time for you to give us your feedback and constructive criticism.

I can now see what's in Felix's (not-scrobbling-yet) vinyl collection, or what music my kid sister likes—even though she doesn't have her own computer or iPod.

It's also the basis for all of your personalised recommendations on Last.fm.There's some other fun bits, like real-time charts, activity feeds and podcasts, but mostly what we've been working on is a fresh start, a new foundation for a Last.fm that can hold all our ideas and yours.

can't log in unless you do the $3.00 thing anyway it has to be better than the current site, no?

No, i prefer the current site. I'm hoping the beta will improve before it goes live.
