You should also look into the version by “Old and In the Way”, a bluegrass supergroup featuring Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, and a few other less-famous legends.
I was looking around last night, and noticed that all the user charts were dated 7/5/05, so it may just update on Mondays. We’ll know for sure in about a week.
Hooray for J-Rock.
Ooh, I’ve got that version. Fantastic. I’ll have to listen to it today just so it’ll show up on 'scrobbler.
Regarding Wild Horses, Charlotte Martin does a killer version live. She’s a big fan of the Sundays version.
It updates whenever. Trying to figure out a pattern will only lead to ruin. Earlier this year it didn’t update for 6 weeks or so.
Ah this is very cool. I just signed up as Democritus.
Supercool! I’ve signed up & joined the group as AvailableLight.
I joined as FerretHerder. Looks like it’ll take a while to populate my played lists, etc. Very interesting!
Hmm…
It looks like Audioscrobbler doesn’t submit tracks that are under a certain length (most likely 30 seconds). That kinda sucks for us grindcore fans.
I’m not sure that’s the case – I’ve got a They Might Be Giants song called “Fingertips” consisting of 19 tracks, each under 30 seconds, and it skewed my playlist something awful. I think the plug-in checks what you’re listening every N seconds, and if it gets the same answer often enough, it sends the result. Might be that it needs to hear the same track for 30+ seconds, but I’ve gotten some sub-30 songs to show up, I think.
Also, my apologies in advance: I left my player on “repeat one” this morning when I left for work. So this week’s number one track will probably be The Jeep Song by the Dresden Dolls. It’s a great song, but I hate the fact that I’ve skewed the group’s statistics so badly. :smack:
Huh. I’ll have to play around with it.
Nothing to worry about. Audioscrobbler charts for a group are based solely on the number of people who play a track/artist in a given week and don’t use the play count. Now your own personal chart, that’s a different story…
I suppose I could make up some back story about how my 13-year-old niece is using my computer and that’s why Disney music and the occasional Britney Spears song (just “Toxic,” I swear to God) will show up in my playlist. But I don’t think anyone would believe me.
Does anyone know if Audioscrobbler notes tracks that are listened to via internet radio? I use iTunes to listen to the radio about as often as I use it to listen to MP3s…
That seems unlikely. I’m not sure about iTunes, but in Winamp I can see the last 5 tracks submitted by going to configure the plug-in.
I seem to be having a problem - audioscrobbler is only getting tracks to add to my “recently played” list if I’ve got a window with audioscrobbler up at the same time as winamp - anything played with my browser closed or on another site doesn’t show up.
Anybody able to shed some light on this? Is that just how the plugin works?
No. It’s possible that by coincidence, the songs you are playing while your browser is closed are not tagged correctly. You can look at the log file of the plugin to see what the exact problem is.
I’m having a problem too…my Recently Played list is displaying songs that I played three days ago and nothing since then, except for what I’m playing now.
Not only that, apparently those songs from three days ago are being counted twice for that artist!
There’s a blurb on the frontpage mentioning that they’ve been having some database problems lately. My guess is that the traffic is a little high and the server is acting funny cause of it.
