Listen to music on your computer?

If you listen to music on your computer (either at home or at work) then you may be interested in this. Thee is a program called Audioscrobbler (available from http://audioscrobbler.com ) that will compile statistics about your listening habits.

It is then put online in the form of a personal profile that others can see and link to. It is sort of an audio blogging program. I started my profile today:

I also started a group called Late Night Games that I invite you to join if you sign up: http://www.audioscrobbler.com/group/Late%20Night%20Games

The way it works is...you sign up (free) and then download a plug-in for your particular MP3 listening program (they have most of them). This will feed info to their database about what you listen to on your computer and update your info automatically.

They have forums and stuff too, but we have our own forum so we really don't need that part of it. It is kind of cool to see graphs ofthings you listen to, however. And it would be really interesting to see what we listento as a group.

Just thought I'd share this with you all...have fun!

By any chance, is there a way to turn it off at various times? Just ask because I tend to use music during collabs, and I sometimes put a track (or a couple) on repeat for them.

I've listened to "Hit Me Baby One More Time" a bazillion times on repeat and it's only submitted once. What gives?

Tragically the only way to spot track changes in iTunes is to look for the title or artist changing. If you listen to the same song over and over again, iScrobbler will only submit it once.

As for disabling it, I would open the control for it and change the login name.

Personally, I see no real reason to disable it. Listened-to is listened-to, as far as I am concerened.

Help plz
