Blastfm - Finally a Last.fm Player for S60… Maybe

Started by Zach · 1 year ago

Thanks to Gerry Moth, a man I’m loving more with each passing minute, I am in the process of trying what looks to be the first functional Last.fm player for S60. It’s called Blastfm and it was built in Python. Sure, it’s not the optimal solution but beggers can’t be choosers! The app is in […] ... Continue reading »

    '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)

    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.
