I thought that Confessor band sounded a lot like AIC but they were more metal.

Do I sit in front of the computer a lot or something? :-/

Since I've been away quite a lot these past weeks, here's my list for 31 Dec - 7 Jan:

1. Gackt 65
2. Mägo de Oz 41
3. Astral Projection 27
4. Héroes del Silencio 24
5. Soda Stereo 22
5. Buena Vista Social Club 22
7. Hsaias Matiampa 15

9. Rubén Blades 12
9. Talamasca 12

Jason, I think so...

this week
you: Total Plays: 881
me: Total Plays: 257

I don't listen to music all the time, but I don't think I've ever reached anything near 900 listens in a week.

Sam: :( :( :(

I'm a nerd.

Hey Bjorn!
I was already wodnering where you were.
I thought you left MX =(

edit: ... bloody people cutting in while we are trying to have a conversation. What do you think this is Pete? A message board?
..
:p and <3

Jason: Hey don't worry. After looking at most peoples weekly charts on here, I an more like the odd one out.

Also, I love MS excel, that's pretty nerdy.

I find this to be a lot more disturbing. Not because of the band but because of the amount of listens.

1 ▲8 Pink Floyd 1,907
2 ▲5 Kent 38
3 ▼1 Memfis 26

Jason seems pretty normal compared to this.

Yeah, there are some odd ones out there. Like the top listener for Metallica.

1 Infected Mushroom 57
2 Cynic 55
3 ▼1 The Dillinger Escape Plan 37
4 Faith No More 31
5 ▼4 Mr. Bungle 20
6 Atheist 4
7 Green Carnation 8
8 Martyr 7
8 ▲10 Cryptopsy 7
10 ▲8 Death 6

On topic: I listen a lot of music, but not just on my PC, that's why I never have very high scores.
average is about 30/40 for my number artist of a certain week.

Well, if I'm downstairs gardening or doing work, or I'm out and about, I'll have my mp3 player, and when I'm driving I've obviously got my car's CD player, but other than that, it's always my computer that I play music on.

deffinately needs to take a step back and look and his listening habits.

Check out my friend's journal for more of the same.

Haha, there's no way he actually listens to all of that. According to his recent tracks he literally listens to them 24/7 - there are four pages for every single day.

He yearns to be the top Metallica listener so bad that he prolly just runs the music all the time with the volume all the way down and listens to his actual music on a different media player.

Fixed.

:lol: What a loser.

I've always wondered that also, Lee's Friend's Journal.

I can understand the people who like to listen to music whilst they sleep, I've done it once or twice, but who are you proving your awesomeness too by leaving the music playing whilst you leave the house, listen to other music, etc. It's just bizarre. The most useful thing about audioscrobbler to me is that I can track my own listening habits and see what I like, etc, not show off to the rest of the world.

[QUOTE=Riva;14031841]Yeah, there are some odd ones out there. Like the top listener for Metallica.[/QUOTE]

I'm sure there are people who are like "I need to prove my undying love for Metallica" so they just set their media player on repeat while listening to Metallica for a week straight or something.

EDIT: Late.

And I agree with Jason. I want my last.fm to be accurate for my own sake. If there was an offline version of some tracker like this, I'd definitely use it.

or they could just be 32 long second tagged files, I think that is the minimum length for a song to register in last.fm
hmm, this guy has several minutes between each song so .. he's still a loser

I think Stop by Pink Floyd gets noted, and that's 0:30 on the album.

Yeah. It makes little sense.

It depends on the length of the song. Dream Theater's A Change of Seasons (24 mintues) will take longer to register than Speak to Me (1:24) by Pink Floyd.

I think the max is a little over three and a half minutes.

Might be wrong, though.

[QUOTE=Sleepy;14038972]I think the max is a little over three and a half minutes.

I havent seen anything take more than 4 minutes to scrobble, so three and a half is probably very close to the cut off mark.

I think it's different for different players.

In iTunes, it takes the first uninterrupted two minutes of a song to scrobble. Half the time songs under two minutes don't get scrobbled.

In winAmp, it takes half of it the song, regardless of length.

Of course, this is from my own observations.

I use iTunes and it scrobbles all my songs that are under 2 minutes. I downloaded this thing off of last.fm that tells you the duration of time required to scrobble a song. Normally longers songs (15 to 20 minutes) take about 3 minutes. Songs about 5 minutes take anywhere from a minute and a half to two minutes.

Not sure what the thing I downloaded is called because I deleted it about a week ago to free up some space.

It sends it in at about 50% of the way through the song or 4 minutes, whichever comes first.

Edit: that's in winamp with the plugin they dont seem to have available anymnore

[QUOTE=blueyxd]It sends it in at about 50% of the way through the song or 4 minutes, whichever comes first.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, this was my understanding; and I think the minimum song length is 30 seconds.

This sucks if you're a grind fan and have lastfm.
It won't scrobble most of your songs because they're under 30 seconds. :lol:

[QUOTE=the2stranger;14042323]This sucks if you're a grind fan and have lastfm.

For example, I'm not a huge fan of Pig Destroyer, but yet they're in my overall top 10, because I can listen to so many songs in such a short period of time. If the other half of PD's discography actually counted, it'd be even more disproportionate. On the other side, there's bands like Godspeed You! Black Emperor, whom I enjoy a lot more and tend to spend a lot more time listening to. However, because I'm not lame enough to listen to just enough for it to scrobble then move on, it says I don't listen to GY!BE as much as I do. :sad:

Yeah, post rock/prog/doom fans get owned by last.fm.

My most favorite songs/artists hardly make it to my top 10 since most of my songs stretch from 10-70 minutes. :p

[QUOTE=Dr. Jake Destructo;14042401]Yeah, post rock/prog/doom fans get owned by last.fm.[/QUOTE]

:lol:

Godspeed gets the boot for me, unfortunately. My second favorite all time band and they're 21 on my last.fm artists. =-\

Actually I listen to them more on headphones/CD player and my vinyl copy of F#A# than on the computer anyway.

I listen to music while I sleep all the time. Put three cd's in my stereo for the night, and put it on repeat. Of course, this doesn't go to a weekly chart of my listening habits. I wouldn't let music run just to be the top listening of a band...I'de like to see what my actual listening habits would be like.

EDIT: Oops, this was from last page :-/ I forgot that there was another page after :lol:

EDIT2: Yeah, Kage. Iced earth for example is my favorite band, but never do I listen to them on teh computer...or if I do, I put it in my cd player.
