Does MM have an external window I can automatically have update with the Artist and Album description, and other similar artists like the Last.FM one does? I am still toying around, but I haven't found anything similar yet. It's nice to see to be able to turn my head and glance without having to navigate through menus to retrieve the amazon.com album info or the other options (by the way, can we edit the location we can autotag from beyond Amazon? [not trying to hijack this thread, so if so and someone feels like pointing me somewhere, just send a pm])

If you use the old winamp plugin, the lastfm client will automatically show what you are listening to in MM, including tags, similar artist, bio, ability to mark tracks as loved and all the other stuff (plus the whole scrobble at %50 percent if you want). Worked with MM3 and still mostly works with the new alphas. I believe it's option #2 in the MM wiki about scrobbling.

awesome! definitely going to go through that wiki thoroughly. much appreciated

I have been using that, but the Last.FM actual scrobbling application does not seem to be able to be plugged into MediaMonkey, so I can just have the window open on a dual screen, and quickly get artist details, etc - without having to goto the last.fm page. Just was wondering if there was anything else in development? Maybe it'd be better to ask in the Last.fm developer forums since it'd probably be developed on their side of things.

thanks for the quick reply though, and that plugin you pointed me to, definitely does scrobble, which is the major idea nailed.

Last.fm scrobbler plugin can scrobble: http://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/general/

is the Last.FM scrobbling application not able to read the information being sent to last.fm from MediaMonkey? Is there a plugin for Last.FM yet for Media Monkey?

I did search a bit, and couldn't find anything about what I'm asking for. My goal: To have the Last.FM Application detecting what's being played, so it can show me artist info on the fly, like how it works with itunes and winamp.

Is there a way to set this up? Just trying to see if maybe I missed it in the search or if I should delve into last.fm apps, or media monkey scripts.

thanks for any leads, and sorry if this is the 27th request asking this. if so, please no b& =(

first post so cut me a break please. love the software, and this looks like a great community to get involved with developing for.

all the best!

This was probably mentioned somewhere before but if you use the old winamp gen wa2 scrobbler plugin with MM you can scrobble as low as 50 percent instead of having to play the whole song. Then run the lastfm playcount importer every month or so to add those plays where you switched tracks earlier to update your database. The only downside for me as that it shows I'm listening to Winamp in LastFM instead of MM.

As I already said, this cannot be modified.

bump...

After looking at the MM exe file in pe explorer, and i think the easiest mod to do would be to place this line:
directly after playback has been initiated, this would be the easiest option, just need to know where i would find the line that starts the playback of the file...

That cannot be scripted. It requires a change in the program.

Well, that was requested many times, but not implemented yet.
