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.

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...

I've been using Mobbler for ages now. Love it.
Interested to see how this compares (when it works)

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!.

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.

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 :)

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...

'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...
