sonic gossip unite - lastfm group ! - Page 2

That being said, I don't scrobble much because I listen to actual cd's/records on actual cd/record players usually. I don't really like listening on computer speakers most of the time.

I just mainly use it to browse bands' message boards (I mean, they have every band from Mong Hang to Eddie Edwards to Silmaosoto to Xerobot to ... god, it's fucking endless!).. it's fun to talk to people about bands. Also, I find a lot of good music on there, though it hasn't replaced my tried-and-true method of "Randomly downloading albums off of a guy who's downloading off of you on soulseek". It's just a good site. The groups are really fun!!

This Is Not Here · 08.20.2008, 11:26 PM

I dunno, its just something I've never really been particularly drawn to, I realise there are stylistic similarities but bands are essentially different, and my initial comment was something of a tounge-in-cheek jab at people's justification for last fm.; I do 'get' why people use it and why its helpful. However I think it might be a little too easy to get stuck in a rut if websites are a sole source of musical research, I enjoy getting thrown off the rails now and then and discovering something totally new, and the best way to do that is sharing music amongst flesh-made freinds. A few years ago in my b-boy phase I used to use allmusic.com (yes, laughable isn't it) and it's similar artists function, it'd either give me something with no resemblance to the artist or TOO similar. Since then I only really use websites, particularly allmusic for cold hard facts about albums, release dates, labels etc. My real source of discovering new stuff online is right here on Sonic Gossip, when I can talk more directly about music. When my 'to buy' list becomes empty maybe I will turn to last fm for the next step, however right now its one long list.

SYRFox · 08.21.2008, 07:32 PM

I use iSproggler to scrobble my iPod.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 08.21.2008, 08:24 PM

I just joined the group.

With Ipods you download a program that goes on the ipod that keeps track of song plays by date/time. I 'm not sure but I think when you plug into the computer it copies the data to your profile.
