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

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

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?

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

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)

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.

Lets see if mine shows http://pict.fm/results/d7d599dc57.gif

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

4. Help us help you; when using this forum, post screenshots, urls and whatever else helps fully explain your thoughts so we can get to the bottom of your problem straight away.

Read on if you're interested in some of the thinking behind the changes, otherwise get started at: beta.last.fm

What's this all about?

Three main concepts driving the UI and feature development for this next-generation Last.fm are: play music, share music, and add music. We've focused on making these three things easier for everyone to enjoy, even your mum. You've probably noticed the robust new player at the top of every page—hopefully no more digging around for play buttons and radio stations, and music pages are re-positioned for sharing that music with a friend, or saving it to your library.

What's the library all about? It's a way for you to see all the music in your profile. Dig through every artist, album and track you've ever played, save things there to check out later and categorise your music with tags. It's pretty fun looking at your friends' music now too. 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. Your library is the home for all your music, whether you scrobble it or add it manually. 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. If things look a little bare or basic in places, that's why ;-) we need your feedback before we build up the rest of the site and put on finishing touches.

I don't like the way it looks but it's only a beta so hopefully it will improve.

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.

screenshots?

i would if i had somewhere to upload them too. i dont have a photobucket or anything

Can I email them to someone to put up?

Herman, www.tinypic.com

ok lets try this

Heh how did I know this would be you reviving this thread Herr Neuname?

the shoutbox is at the bottom of the page and is much much bigger, shows a lot more messages.
x-post

hmmm.... looks a bit 'like every other new website at the moment'

oh, and, I suppose

http://www.last.fm/user/mynameislinea

I haven't used this shit in forever. yiou wanna know what i"M listening to right now? The Bee Gees - Inside and Out.

Non-Subscribers can still read http://www.last.fm/group/Last.fm+Beta , see all the moans on the shoutboxes and the forum.

Lots of complaints that it looks like Facebook (I don't have Facebook so I cannot compare)

I really hope they bring back the weekly chart to last fm. I always looked forward to seeing my weekly update (sad though that is)

I noticed one thing they were advertising for the new version was: continually-updated charts. Does that mean they've got rid of the weekly one?

Yep. You can change it to show some rolling last 7 days thing, but at the expense of your top artists.
I want both. The weekly publishing of the last weeks chart was the best thing about last fm!

Last fm now is less interested in the charts and more about social networking like myspace and facebook. Fuck that.

I sent my feedback complaining that point :)

It would be good to have both.

Also agree w/ facebook call, too neat-looking.

It doesn't look like there is going to be both if the thread on the forum is anything to go by.

Is it really like Facebook? I had no idea Facebook would be so hideous!
