Snarkpit group at Audioscrobbler

I made a Snarkpit group at Audioscrobbler in case someone's interested. Would be fun to see what the snarkpitters listen to.

For those who doesn't know what Audioscrobbler is:

http://www.audioscrobbler.com/ said:
Audioscrobbler builds a profile of your musical taste using a plugin
for your media player (Winamp, iTunes, XMMS etc..). Plugins send the
name of every song you play to the Audioscrobbler server, which updates
your musical profile with the new song. Every person with a plugin has
their own page on this site which shows their listening statistics. The
system automatically matches you to people with a similar music taste,
and generates personalised recommendations.

So, all you need to do is go to <A HREF="http://www.audioscrobbler.com" TARGET="_blank">audioscrobbler</a> sign
up, download the plugin for whatever program you're using to play music
and then go to http://www.audioscrobbler.com/group/Snarkpit and join
the group.

That should be clear enough :wink:

[edit]

Your profile will look something like this: http://www.audioscrobbler.com/user/OtZman/

If a group has more then 10 members there will also be stats generated for that group.

Just downloaded the innocuous plugin and its been tracking my music
promptly and invisibly for the past hour. I really like this
thing!! It's nice to see stats like this.

People -- do this!

Pretty cool idea, I've registered up and joined the group :smile:

10th member of the group, so we should be getting stats now.

On a vaguely related topic, does anybody know how to stop WinAmp
opening the visualisation every time you start to play a track? It's
getting really irritating.

i guess this makes the "recently listenend" topic obsolete

These words are my diaries screaming out loud

Great :smile:

Now just keep those tunes pumping :wink:

Loco, if you hit Alt+O and check "Visualization" under "Plug-ins".
Perhaps you can make it stop by stopping the visualization plug-ins
there?

Not quite, but I finally found the solution. Select plug-ins and then
uncheck "auto-execute visualisation plug-in". I don't remember checking
it in the first place, but there we are. :smile:

Thanks for the help though.

Cmon guys, I know there are more than 12 of us at the pit that listen to music on our computers frequently.

Agreed. Front page news post material maybe? Having said that, the only
reason I can use it at the moment is thanks to an always-on school
connection. Next week my page will never be updated. Perhaps the
problem is those with 56k modems? Although I always thought a majority
of people here had broadband.

I thought about posting this as front page news, but was afraid of
getting hated for posting non mapping related news, so it ended as a
profile news.

Admins, would it be ok to post about this on the front page?

The Plane, my ongoing HL2 comic.

Joined. Although only on my laptop. No way I'm going to put something like that on my main computer. Then they'll know, they'll all know...

Shameless plug.

Stats have now been generated for the group. :smile:

http://www.audioscrobbler.com/group/Snarkpit

The charts show how many different group members who listened to a
given song/artist in the past week, that's why the numbers may appear
low.

I'm afraid I skewed those results just a bit by forcing my music on those who frequent the IRC channel. :smile:

no it's not, though if you're refering to the link in otzmans opening post, then aye, he left a comma in there for some reason.....

oops, i though i was editing my post, but i went and quoted it instead. silly me.....

i eat paint

fixed, the comma was probably included because there was no space in between

I know that this is pretty much a dead topic, but I thought people might be interested in the following with audioscrobbler.

Denness.net do
Recently Played Image
Signatures which display what's just been played. Not much use on
the Pit I'm afraid, but maybe for other forums and the like.

My site

Sweet, nice looking sig to. Example:

:wink:

And denness.net seems to host sites for free. Perhaps worth checking out.

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

I was on my mp3less desktop all summer so haven't been using
Audioscrobbler. But now that I'm back at school on my laptop I'm
listening to music several hours a day. However, my total tracks
played on Audioscrobbler is locked at 382. I want updated
stats! Is anyone else having this problem, or does it usually
take several days before it updates the total stats?

I think your total songs are supposed to update every week (around Sunday/Monday)... they don't do it for every new song you pop up. This computer's not even submitting the songs I have, they're all just sitting in my cache... which is cool I guess, since I've just been listening to Randy Newman :F

I think recently listened and total tracks played are supposed to be updated as soon as a new song is played. I've had problems with this as well, Audioscrobbler updated their page with new functions and such a while ago, perhaps that's the reason.

Just keep on joining the group people !

Allright; I rejoined.
It will take some time untill it scans my files properly. My username is 'Crapy'.
Although: I think about changing it. We'll see.

Kinda sweet idea, though.
