Post your Audiosrobbler userlink so we can always watch what you're listening to

I'm listening to nothing below 192.

Just Say No! To Below (192)

What do you rip the cds to that you sell, Ned?

dude behind audio hijack considers the betamax doctrine: short, very much worth reading

does this mean anything new for the radio stations and playlists and such? Since they currently, theoretically, let you listen to a track as many times as you want, but not choose specific tracks to listen to (although if you create a relatively small playlist that wouldn't be much of an issue, I imagine).

What do you rip the cds to that you sell, Ned?

Up to now, CDRs I've never touched much. (Seriously, a lot of stuff I ripped and sold back in 2004 and the discs were just filed and forgotten.) Now that I've finally got the external HD, they'll go on that.

Hehe i meant bitrate.

128 AAC = 192 MP3

false

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

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?

What's all yours for this week?

hmm it didn't show

Weird, now it has.

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

the open minded index is back up again http://omi.musickum.com/index.php5

Some handy tools here http://build.last.fm/

why does last.fm never srobble RA podcasts?

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.

pretty cool.

yah thanx

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?

Yeah, my top artists are completely screwed up. I've lost probably 5,000-6,000 scrobbled tracks.

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.

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

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

It's fixed now.

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"

That is one old-ass account. Too late to turn back now, I guess.

I like the normalizer. Boredoms take the top spot!

oh man the desktop generator from the build last.fm site is my new favourite toy. my current desktop: http://i28.tinypic.com/2eapa0y.jpg (huge)

My Top Artists list doesn't even show up...my Overall Tracks and Top Artists This Week are visible though.

why does last.fm never srobble RA podcasts?

? it scrobbles whatever you play. maybe its your media player

i found a sweet hack to scrobble my sony walkman.

why does last.fm never srobble RA podcasts?

ra podcasts are the only thing it won't scrobble

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

i think you're right that it has something to do with the length

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!

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.

It's an aggregation of ILXOR group members tracks listened to, isn't it?

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

i gotcha, so even though i listened to 'wichita lineman' 20 something times this week, it won't break the charts :(

(165!)

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)
