Scrobbling at Last
Tuesday, April 18th, 2006As a long-suffering ISDNer, I have always been paranoid about my background bandwidth usage. I passionately hated SETI@HOME, RealPlayer, Quicktime, and all those other programs that went looking for updates without asking. When your maximum rate in a multiplayer game is 7200, every .2k/s counts. I have finally decided that Last.fm is worth it.
Was disappointed to see XMMS struggling and crashing not long after installing the plugin, but it made me realise that Beep is the superior media player, so I’m using that now and it seems much better overall. I’ll keep XMMS plugin-free for whenever I need to secretly listen to some Dana. My account is here, I added a graph on the side there. I’m looking forward seeing what it recommends me… just a shame I haven’t got the bandwidth to listen ![]()
