As is probably evident from the title, really short tracks (I think anything under 30 seconds) don't get scrobbled. More specifically, the tracks aren't saved permanently as being scrobbled, but they show up as "Listening Now."

I don't know if that's an Amarok bug or a Last.fm bug, or if it's just the intended behavior. Which is what I'm trying to find out.

I don't think that it's the intended behavior for last.fm, because some of these tracks have "listeners," thus there must be a way to scrobble them permanently (unless their policy for this was changed some time in the past, and just doesn't allow short tracks to be scrobbled anymore).

Thanks.

edit: Just for laughs (or lulz, or whatever derivation you prefer), I wanted to share that the captcha code for my registration was ****. Actually, on subsequent refreshes, **** showed up twice. So that captcha generator may not be truly random.

Some more information about the Amarok version you are using could be helpful. There have been so many changes on both Amarok and last.fm side in the last months, it's really hard to guess.

This is intended behaviour, Last FM doesn't record scrobbles of anything 30 seconds or less on their end.
