> [@Jurph](#): > > Call me crazy, but I figured we could just use this one. 😃 I understand, but people look for forums on Audioscrobbler. You could make one, if only to direct people here. A lot of people have heard of The Straight Dope, but also, a lot of people don’t know that this message board exists. ---

Well, I just went ahead and reset my stats. No more Metallica. Bye bye Rammstein. Downloaded the correct plug-in, and I’m up and running on Audiosrobbler once again. Thanks for creating the group Jurph. ---

> [@psycat90](#): > > I stopped using Winamp and started using foobar2000. I never installed the plug-in for foobar. I downloaded foobar. That solved my problem with opening tracks. Fucking WMP. I got rid of that piece of shit. Now all I need to know is how to work Audioscrobbler. Nothing is showing up on my list. And yes, I did download the plugin. :shrug: ---

As far as I can tell, Audioscrobbler is automatic. I don’t know anything about foobar. Is there a menu item for plug-ins? I’m using Fucking WMP, and there’s a Plug-ins menu item under Tools where you can enable or disable specific plug ins. Perhaps foobar has something like that. ---

OK, I’m up and running. I’m tanstaafl815 over there (someone already had tanstaafl ☹ ). It only tracks what I play through iTunes, not my iPod, right? ---

Cool idea! I’m in–Greywolf73. I’ve signed up for audioscrobbler and LastFM last year–love LastFM although there were so many bugs I gave up on it for a long time. ---

I’m using Fucking WMP, and there’s a Plug-ins menu item under Tools where you can enable or disable specific plug ins. Perhaps foobar has something like that. Well, I’m new to foobar too. And there is an audioscrobbler option to check. The thing is, after I’ve downloaded AS, foobar won’t even open. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled both AS & FB three times now, and even rebooted. If anyone has any ideas why it’s not working properly/what I’m doing wrong, I’m all ears. If not, I’m not going to bother with it. I was hoping to participate. And have you laugh at my husband’s crap taste in music. ☹ ---
