Just thought I'd add my voice here and say that I'd love to have the option to scrobble internet radio if I so wished. I've recently started using the excellent PandoraFM and I'd say that I discovered at least as much new music through Pandora as I have from Last.fm's streams. Having the music I listen to on Pandora scrobbled (even if I don't like all of the tracks it plays) hasn't been detrimental to the quality of my Last.fm charts at all- quite the opposite in fact, I'm hearing new bands and genres I like left right and centre at the moment and they're all feeding in to my Last.fm recommendations.

I've also been listening to radio streams like WOXY and SomaFM recently, and I'd love for this music to be added to my Last.fm profile as well. If it's possible for Last.fm to do this then surely it could be added as an opt in/out feature?
Would this happen to be how you got artists on your charts such as:
Elvis Presley (Holiday)
David Bowie & Bing Crosby (Holiday)
Carpenters (Holiday)
Perry Como (Holiday)
Dean Martin (Holiday)

Or is from your personally tagged music collection?

True, but if you contact support and tell them their radio is wrong they'll fix it. Plus there is a moderation system in the works where users will be able to fix tracks directly themselves.

Good news about a moderation system!

Will this enable uses to correct the track name of remixes uploaded to the main track name?

Will remix track naming be in accordance with MusicBrainz.org conventions? - Ian

I listen to music at work all day, streamed from my personal mp3 streaming server. It's all tagged properly by me, but since it's streamed I can't scrobble it.

Please reconsider this. If a song is playing with the artist and title specified, it should be scrobbled regardless of how it is being played.

I'm really amazed that the staff insists that a lot of Internet radio stations have faulty tags. WTF?

What stations are you talking about?

I have been listening to Radio Paradise for a LOOONG time and I have yet to see a single incorrect tag! And so far my Squeezebox, and WinAmp, and Amarok, and iTunes, and Quod Libet, and any other music player I've tried have all been able to decipher the tags without a single problem.

So exactly what are these problems that the staff here are referring to?

You guys really need to reconsider this. If it comes to either giving up Radio Paradise or giving up LastFM, LastFM will be dropped so fast your heads will spin!

Count on it!

Radio Paradise is probably the exception to the rule. I have been a listener for years i have yet to see a wrong tag. In that sense you are right.

SomaFM on the other hand is full of wrong tags althought they are constantly fixing them.

It gets worse from there and that is IF they are sending over the track info and not just a station identifier.

PS: that moderation system they are working on is becoming akin to the chupacabras, Nessie and area 51.

As others have noted, streaming of ones own collection is increasingly popular.

Check out site's such as mediamaster.com

This is my music, which I just happen to listen to remotely from work, etc. so the track info should be as reliable as that from my mp3 collection.

It would be very nice to have these tracks scrobbled, and although, I understand you cannot meet every new feature request - this is one that would be highly desirable to me (and others as well).

Even if it was something I had to manually "turn on" - or that would not show up in the Global last.fm charts (instead only in my listening habits), that would be fine . . .

While I was surfing the site today I found a user that has cracked the code on how to get his internet radio to scrobble (don't ask me how, I don't know). All of these were in his top 10 artists for last week.

XM Radio
CBS
NPR
MSNBC.com copyright 2008 FF-RE
NOBODYLIKESONIONS.COM

Frankly if these crept to the top of my charts I'd be in here complaining that should have the ability to remove artists in my charts.

At which point I'd tell myself, "You can remove anything within two weeks of scrobbling it."

Then I'd angrily retort, "It's to late for that! these BS artists should be blocked!"

Then Jester-NL would chime in, "You can block artists by putting them in a folder you don't want to scrobble."

And red faced I'd scream, "I CAN'T BLOCK THEM! IT'S INTERNET RADIO!!!"

And finally I (moderator me) would say, "Thank these guys, they fought long and hard for you to have that ability before last.fm was ready to roll it out."
;)

Post Script. Two of the above artists have already crept into the users overall artists. Luckily they don't visit the site often so they're probably blissfully unaware.

All comments reflect the views of the poster and not of last.fm or it's management.

Hey, it's not that we want you to roll it out before you're ready, it's that you're taking entirely too long to make it ready!

Now get busy and get it ready! ;)

OK, I guess I have to concede that there will be some difficulties making this work, but will you concede that there would be merit in scrobbling Internet Radio? I mean, after all, isn't the entire purpose of LastFM tracking what people listen to? As of right now you're not tracking a huge portion of the music I listen to...

That's what I thought too (and I'm sure that's how he got the NPR and NOBODYLIKESONIONS.COM stuff), but his XM tracks were individual songs with a "artist - track" format for the track ID3. He might be using the same idea as podcasts to get songs off XM. But if they're offing those for individual download RIAA is going to flip, most of the songs were new releases.

I think he just found a way to funnel radio through WMP or something. I'm sure it's a little kludge like but if you can get Pandora to save fully tagged tracks to your hard drive ripping XM radio shouldn't be to hard.

I have to admit I was jealous except the bad tagging. If/when this gets running it would be an awesome way to expand what music you submit.

Scrobbling for Winamp Remote

I would be happy for Scrobbling of Winamp Remote tracks. They don't have tags, but the names are correct because you listen to your own files.

Yeah, I was very disappointed with this when I started using last.fm and I am still disappointed . My HDD is small and I don't store all of the music I like to listen so I am either listening to radio stations or file streams but unfortunately they are not counted in my profile so my profile is hugely inaccurate... Is this the purpose of last.fm? With the fast internet these days the streams are very popular way for listening to music so this becomes a problem. Personally I would prefer some wrong tags over no point in using last.fm at all since 80% of the music I listen to won't be scrobbled.

I absolutely look forward to the day where we will be able to scrobb from the online radio station we want. And, I might admit that their songs are bad tagged with the radio name all the time, I would prefer this over anything. Another thing to add would be to implement a string-based filter so I can remove the part of the track that I don't want last.fm client to pick.

Theory of course...

Yea I'm also very disappointed I can't scrobble my music from an Orb application like Winamp Remote, since they are my files. If there's a formal way I can suggest this other than the forums, let me know!

Winamp Remote

I have also recently started using Winamp remote since I started a contract job away from home. Now over 80% of my music is played via Winamp remote, yet none gets scrobbled, which is a bummer. And like others in this situation, it is 100% my own music, all tagged proper.

It would be great if there was a way to distinguish between music streamed like this and online radio streams.

Sorry for the bump, but I wanted to add my voice to the mix. I listen to StreamingSoundtracks.com, 1980s.fm and a few other online radio stations and would like those tracks included (and lovable) in last.fm.

I appreciate the difficulty in getting the right info into the system, and opening the floodgates may be negative, but ... you can already identify streaming stations - can you not scrobble those tracks and treat them differently to "played" music so that the user still gets the benefits but any bad tagging doesn't affect the data for the community as a whole?

Could it be that the real reason Last.fm isn't scrobbling internet radio, is that those stations are direct competitors?

We use the service primarily to get our listening habit scrobbled, but the company wants people to upload, download and stream music as well. They're a next generation radio station, and probably want us to listen to a last.fm stream (which gets scrobbled no problem) and not to, say, Soma FM.

They're a next generation radio station, and probably want us to listen to a last.fm stream (which gets scrobbled no problem) and not to, say, Soma FM.[quote]
