    'been using blastfm for 3 weeks now on my N95-3. It's working fine right now but with some occasional crash. I usually start with blastfm then S60 Internet radio & select last.fm (it's a shoutcast.pls file that can also be played with iTunes)-- When the internet radio starts to play I close the blastfm-- Well it works with 3G & WiFi so far...

    Thanks Joel - I may format my phone and give it another shot but i still
    can't get past entering my credentials. I press ok, app crashes. I'll keep
    at it...

    Kind of works for me, but it's a complete hack... I've been waiting for a decent last.fm player to arrive on S60 and hopefully this is the start of a great app :)

    Agreed - even if it was working, python and internet radio spoofing is
    obviously not optimal. I hope it sparks some solid development on a native
    app.

    I's actually how all last.fm players work but because the developers of blastfm have relied on a 3rd party mp3 player it's very obvious here.

    One of the more annoying side-effects is that the album art downloads trigger shozu!

    I'd like to see the MobileScrobbler app from the iPhone ported and S60-ized as it really doesn't get much slicker than that!.

    I've been using Mobbler for ages now. Love it.
    Interested to see how this compares (when it works)
  • Zach · 1 year ago
    I don't think this will scrobble played tracks James, but I'm much more interested in streaming! Now if only it worked for me...

    From what I understand, Mobbler only scrobbles (ie: logs) the tracks you play that are stored on your handset. While that's useful, I find the real power of Last.FM is the customised mp3 feeds... I probably listen to those more than I listen to my MP3 collection.

    For me, last.fm is one of the killer apps of the "data in the cloud" vision.

    Oh I see. I get it now. Cheers guys.

    THX– It´s very nice to get last on my N95-2, but is there no volume control?
