Is there a FIRST Audioscrobbler.com group?
 

So, I just signed up for that yesterday, and I searched through the groups for a FIRST one, but haven't seen one.

Anybody know if one exists, or should I go ahead and make one?

I haven't seen one. And Brandon isn't in one, so I am sure it doesn't exist. :)

I'll join if you make it.
"Benthos"

found it...

I haven't made one. I'd join if there were one, though. (username: pubarso)

Slightly unrelated, there is a FIRST Flickr group .. if anybody is on Flickr.

That's good enough for me. Since the only result I came up with for audioscrobbler on here was when Brandon posted that he joined it after Listen-To's unfortunate end..

I'll make a group later today and post the link here.

Right now it doesn't seem to be updating my songs, does it sometimes take a while for songs to update?

I'm new to this audioscrobbler thing as you can tell.. lol

Depending on their server load, the update could take anywhere from 5 minutes to 2-3 days before your stuff updates. It takes some time to get used to after the instant update on Listen-To (which eventually brought the server to its knees).

If you don't have a Pro account you have to wait though the cue. Look on the homepage and see if they have any delays. Sometimes it I will do it every few minutes, other times it will take a day or more. The song totals (artist and favorites) will update after so many songs, AND after the cue.

There is a first group.....

Oh yea, I forgot about that little detail. The paid members have higher priority. I'm a paid member because I'm impatient -- and I know how much money it takes to keep something that large going. They don't have a payment requirement, you can give as much or as little as you want per month, I believe. I give em a buck or two. Any little bit helps.

Oops.. found that one when I went to search for mine that I just made..
DOH! I should have known Jeff would make one.. lol

I'll join that one and delete mine.. I don't know why I didn't see that one before when I looked..

I must be blind.

Elgin, you did install the plug in right?

if it is winamp, check in your options to see it the uploads are working.

Re: Is there a FIRST Audioscrobbler.com group?
 

Yeah.. lol it was working last night/into this morning till about 2 hours ago (after I had to find a program that would put the darn id3 tags back in that I deleted of course.), or so.. and then had a 2 hour pause.

I just looked and it's updating again.. idk.. lol weird.

Anywho, if anyone wants the name of a good id3 tag creator (batch style lol) there is a good one at:

http://www.snapfiles.com/get/tagscanner.html

I had all my tracks just named " Artist - Title " (like any normal person should) and it was very easy to add id3 tags so that Audioscrobbler can see the tracks with that application. Basically stole the naming standard I made, and put the title in space 1 and artist in space 2 on the id3 tag.
Yay for not having to manually put all my id3 tags in.:)

www.musicbrainz.org - checks database, can organize into folders and rename file. very easy.

I'll second MusicBrainz. The tagger is an acquired taste, though -- you either love it or hate it. I suggest committing a few minutes to read the instructions and FAQ to get a full understanding of it before using it, otherwise you'll be confused and more likely to dislike it.

Re: Is there a FIRST Audioscrobbler.com group?
 

Yup, MusicBrainz is awesome, I use the AmaroK music player under Linux, it integrates AudioScrobbler, MusicBrainz and fetches album covers from amazon.com.

Yes, I stared the group a few weeks ago. Maybe I should have said something. Oh well.
