well, we all know that whatever is on last.fm isn't really indicative of what we all listen to
 
 for example, i spend the majority of my days moping around, feeling this uncontrollable guilt about the wrongs my white brethren have committed against black people, native americans, and the like ... it helps to listen to garish "hip-hop" and "rap" music and try to identify with black culture
 
 fortunately, i listen to all that music exclusively on CD, so it doesn't show up on last.fm!  haHA!

Close, but Bede's not a member.  He's afraid the government may do bad things with the information.

I would expect to see Death Cab #1 or close to it in callats list but I could be wrong... [/b]

I'm not a member, but if I were, my top would be Brian Eno, actually.  Maybe I'll join up tonight.
 
 Nice catch on the DCFC reference in the name though.

here's a question.  what if you want to use that audioscrobber thingamabob on two different computers? my work and home?  and one uses itunes and one uses windows media (my work wont let us have itunes)

I think you can activate it on two computers by just downloading the plugin on both and signing in.  I don't think the format matters.

No problem.  Download the Audioscrobber for iTunes at home and the Adioscrobber for WMP at the office.  It's which account you associate the audioscrobber with that counts, not the player.

I don't even use it.  I should, I guess.  If I can remember my user name.....

it shouldn't be a problem ... you can get a scrobbler thing for your mp3 player as well ... the only thing you have to watch out for is a situation like this:
 
 you listen to 20 songs on your iPod, then you go home and listen to 10 songs on your computer ... if you submitted the listening data on those 10 songs before you submit the 20 songs from your ipod, last.fm won't accept the iPod-listened-to songs
 
 i dont know if that made sense, but if you are scrobbling from two different computers, just make sure the data is being submitted in real-time on each

Gaace is right.
 
 The only time it's been a problem is when smackette is using iTunes at home and I'm using iTunes at the office.  Last.fm will put a message on your member page that says Some tracks you submitted have not been added to your profile for the following reason: Spam protection triggered: You submitted a track dated earlier than your last submission.
 
 It's designed to keep you from flooding and skewing the statistics.  About half of the songs will register, but since it's not an exact science, it's not a big deal.
