It's a really cool release, but generally I'd sooner listen to each band individually.

iTunes is mad homo bro

Tyler 03-05-2008 04:36 PM

Matthew you gotta restart if you haven't, iTunes is one of the programs that actually does require a restart.

I think last.fm should implement an hour tally.

Deth 03-05-2008 04:39 PM

I would imagine that would lead to even more updating problems.

What do you guys use to scrobble your iPod?

Tyler 03-05-2008 09:19 PM

[QUOTE=1338 h4x0r;16072929]explain plz

no, like:

1 - Band - 6hr
2 - Band - 5hr

Cause playcounts can be misleading. Like, I had 19 Reverend Bizarre plays on my computer last week, which is like 48 hours of music.

NemesisDivina 03-05-2008 09:19 PM

...seriously?



Last.fm provides the scrobbler for you, you just have to connect your iPod and set up settings for scrobbling your plays.

@Chris

ATM 03-05-2008 09:21 PM

What are the settings?

NemesisDivina 03-05-2008 09:22 PM

Well, if you have the normal scrobbler... when you connect your iPod, a box should pop up saying "This is the first time you've connected your iPod while last.fm scrobbler is running" or something to that effect. Then it asks you if you want to scrobble tracks whenever the iPod is connected and you're all like "yes." So then when you connect your iPod, this box pops up and lets you choose tracks to scrobble or just scrobble them all.

Tyler 03-05-2008 09:25 PM

last.fm only scrabbles your iPod if it auto-synchs.

Yeah I agree. I can have 18 Repulsion plays, and then have 8 Godspeed You! Black Emperor plays, and I would have spent a crap load more time listening to Godspeed than Repulsion. I've got Blood Freak at number 2 on my overall list, and there's bands below it that I've listened to a whole lot more, simply because Blood Freak's songs are so short (not to say I don't think Blood Freak is great or anything).

Eliminator 03-05-2008 09:28 PM

it would have to scrabble after a whole song

I don't have an iPod, but I'm frankly tired of fielding iTunes help questions—iTunes is a piece of sh[size=2]i[/size]t—so I should like to point out there are alternatives such as LastPod

I use the built-in scrobbling in Sonata btw; it's a great program

Yes, I was thinking about that myself

Summoning has some very long tracks and, while they'd still be my #1 artist in any case, they get overrepresented somewhat because they take a huge chunk of any finite amount of time.

NemesisDivina 03-05-2008 09:33 PM

I think Nadja would jump up quite a bit on a few people's lists.

Om too.

There was that thing where it took an average and gave you an adjusted overall list based on time.

Apocalyptic Raids 03-06-2008 09:05 AM

i am a winamp simpleton

the2stranger 03-06-2008 10:42 AM

Winamp ftw!

pate 03-06-2008 10:48 AM

I hate Winamp

Iluvatar 03-06-2008 10:50 AM

winamp rules all over iTunes tbh.

i am the robots 03-06-2008 11:43 AM

winamp freezes as soon as i open it because my music library is too large

superpeer 03-06-2008 12:07 PM

kinda like me and females


only they melt instead of freeze

and it's penis instead of music library

pate 03-06-2008 12:22 PM

[QUOTE=i am the robots;16076144]winamp freezes as soon as i open it because my music library is too large[/QUOTE]

Same

Neoteric 03-06-2008 12:47 PM

[QUOTE=i am the robots;16076144]winamp freezes as soon as i open it because my music library is too large[/QUOTE]winamp is better when you just drag the folder into the player

which is what i do

and is a lot easier

**** music libraries

RiceMonster 03-06-2008 01:11 PM

Winamp >>> iTunes. Winamp supports more far more file types and you can actually get plug-ins for more functionality. With iTunes you only get what it comes with, and it's annoying. Plus, Winamp's got milkdrop, which is pretty awesome.

I actually don't use Winamp though, I use foobar2000, because it's not bloated with tones of **** like iTunes and Winamp are, and it's pretty much as customizable as it gets. I don't recommend it to everyone though, because most people aren't willing to spend the time to figure it out.
