Last.fm music prediction via iPod Touch
Posted on November 26th, 2007 in iPhone, iPod Touch, media, third-party software |
Perhaps it doesn’t take much for you to fill up the 8 or 16GB capacity of your iPod Touch, but maybe you also have trouble finding new music to mix in there with old favourites. Last.fm has long been suggesting new music based on existing tastes for the desktop user; now, thanks to the coding skills of Sam Steele, with MobileScrobbler you can use the tracks that you’re listening to on your Touch (or your iPhone) to keep your Last.fm account up to date.
It requires a Jailbroken iPod, and you need to add http://dev.c99.org/iphone/ as a source to Installer.app. Once you’ve done that, MobileScrobbler runs in the background (leaving a music note icon in the status bar to show it’s running) updating your profile with the latest tracks you’ve listened to.
Hopefully we’ll next see a mashup of this with Pandora, as has happened on PCs and Macs, to not only suggest new tracks but start them playing over WiFi, too.

This is an amazing program, and just this one app is worth Jailbreaking my iPod.

I have viewed that sensible real estate agents all over the place are starting to warm up to FSBO Promotion. They are seeing that it’s more than simply placing a sign in the front yard. It’s really pertaining to building relationships with these sellers who one of these days will become consumers. So, while you give your time and efforts to encouraging these sellers go it alone — the “Law regarding Reciprocity” kicks in. Thanks for your blog post.
One important thing is that when you’re searching for a student loan you may find that you will want a co-signer. There are many conditions where this is true because you might find that you do not employ a past credit history so the loan provider will require that you’ve someone cosign the credit for you. Thanks for your post.
