But I get nothing, zero, nada. Songs play one after another, as if the ScobblerDJ wasn't there at all.
It's only when you play the last song in the now playing window that the script adds a song.

Ahhhh, *now* I get it. I knew I was missing something right-in-front-of-my-face...

Working fine -- a very cool script, indeed. Thanks much Bex!

EyeChartBrew...
Have you checked what Bex sayed? This script only works when the playback of the last track in the now playing list starts...

EDIT...
EyeChartBrew you were faster...

Yes, very cool script indeed! But you have to thank the great psyxonova for the script, not me!

But thanks anyway.

So each time the script was called the first time Rnd would be used it would have the same value. (certainly true in some programming languages where Random in reality is only psuedo random)

Is this issue due to Mediamonkey's random song generation? The reason I switched to Scrobbler DJ in the first place is because mediamonkey's auto-dj would keep picking the same songs over and over. Is there a better random-number generator we can use?

OK, just to clear thinks out...
ScrobblerDJ doesn't always pick up songs randomly. Now, from what i can see from tarasis's post it seems like that ScrobblerDJ couldn't find any of the Julian Nott's top tracks (according to Last.FM) on his computer. In that case ScrobblerDJ picks up the most high rated track of the artist and plays it. If all are rated the same is goes alphabetically. So, in this case there is no random selection. When i first code it that way it seemed like a good choise but i now believe it is wrong. It will be fixed.
As for the random generator, it has nothing to do with the built in AutoDJ feature. ScrobblerDj and AutoDJ are two completely different things!!!

BTW, thanks for your good words...

Not sure if this has been suggested but maybe a single-artist mode could be supported.
Say you have every R.E.M. album. You could start ScrobblerDJ in Single Artist mode. It could play REM only tracks based on lastFMs top REM tracks.

So when in Single Artist mode it might be configurable to play say X nbr of tracks from current artist (picking X songs from lastFM) and then to pick a new artist (using lastFM) and play X songs from that artist and so on...

Might be cool. So you start off with 5 REM classics followed by 5 U2 classics followed by etc...

I guess its just that ScrobblerDJ would play 1 or more tracks from an artist before getting a new artist instead of currently always getting just one track and then moving to the next artist.

As Peke allready mentioned, his improvements to ScrobblerDJ were enough to make me post a new version 1.2
Version 1.2
Changes/Additions

Options Dialog
No more ScrobblerDJ.vbs editing. Peke had made an option sheet Under Tools>Options>Player>SrcobblerDJ !!COOL!!!
Addition of Icon on Standard toolbar
No need to go inside Scripts menu to enable AutoDJ. Peke has made icons and put then inside standard toolbar. Now you can check the status of scrobblerDj at one glance and enable / disable it with one click!!!
Automatic handling of player settings
Since the new version of MM supports it, ScrobblerDj will turn AutoDJ, Shuffle and Repeat Off everytime it is enabled (since all this are required for the script to run correctly)
Fixed: Errors occur if the default playlist doesn't exists
ScrobblerDJ will now warn you if the default playlists doenst exists

IMPORTANT NOTE

I recommend to all users upgrading from 1.1 to remove all scrobblerDJ entries from scripts.ini before proceeding with the installation
Also, upgrade to the latest MM beta (2.5.2.947) before installing

A bug occured so a bug fixing version (1.21) has been released here

I am getting the following error at startup:

Error #13 - Microsoft VBScript runtime error
Type mismatch: 'Cint'
File:"J:\program files\mediamonkey\scripts\scrobblerdj.vbs", line: 25, column: 1

I did remove both of the scrobbler dj entries from scripts ini and removed the original 1.1 script before installing it from the installer linked above.

And I am running the RC-1 release posted in the beta forum.

As further note, I have an autoexec script which starts play automatically.

SDB.Player.Play

If I disable the autoplay, then I do not get the error.

The google art script also has a minor issue with this 'autoplay'.

edit: another note to say, I did NOT get this error prior to updating to 1.2 version.

edit again:

as soon as started playing, I got the same error again

I had the same problem until I realized that you have to change your playlist that the scrobblerdj uses to a playlist that actually exists (default is top 50).

Just go to tools/options/scrobblerdj and change it.

Oh, and thanks to the creaters of this wonderful script.

This can also be a language problem, as automated playlists seem to have localised names if you run MM e.g. in german.
So somehow the warning that no playlist exist doesn´t work 100%.

Anyway, what a wonderful script!! Suddenly collecting large music libraries makes a completely new sense...
