---+!! Last.fm (AKA Audioscrobbler) Logging

%TOC%

---++ Description

[[http://last.fm Last.fm]] is a social music site that tracks your musical taste, finds similar users, and provides musical recommendations. Rockbox can produce a log file allowing you to submit the tracks you have listened to on your DAP.

To enable Last.fm logging, set the option under the Settings -&gt; Playback Settings menu. A reboot is required before this option comes into effect. This will now produce a plain text log file, .scrobbler.log, located in the root of your player. See [[http://www.audioscrobbler.net/wiki/Portable_Player_Logging this]] Audioscrobbler wiki page for more information about the file format.

---++ Log Submission

The resulting log file can then be uploaded to the Last.fm site, via a number of different methods:

---+++ Known Issues

   * Upload methods that use protocol 1.1 are limited to submitting songs in the order in which they are listened to. If you also submit tracks via a PC you must upload the Rockbox .scrobbler.log before you listen on your computer. Protocol 1.2 lifts this limitation.

   * To be submitted, each track must meet the following: 
      * must be longer than 30 seconds.
      * needs valid meta information for both track and artist names.
      * track must have been listened to for more than 50% of its length.

   * Devices that don't have an RTC (Archos Player & Ondio, Iriver h1x0) will produce a log called ".scrobbler-timeless.log" - the timestamps in this file are always recorded as 0.
