Amarok 1.4.1 and last.fm

Mon Jul 17, 2006 1:35 pm
Hey Freaks!

I´m wondering how to use last.fm´s new feature called: "recommandation radio" with the Amarok!
BTW Amarok is soooooooo cool ;-)

I think the last.fm thing is still in development. It hasn't got that much functionality yet.
1.4.2 will probably have better last.fm support

By the way, sometimes the last.fm song information doesn't get updated. Is this a known bug?

You can play /any/ lastfm stream, simply by clicking on the link on the lastfm website (provided that you have Amarok connected with the lastfm protocol in your browser). Alternatively, just paste the URL into Amarok.

Yes that might work...I must say that I experience a lot of problems with last.fm since it´s latest update. Amarok crashes very often, after it tries to connect last.fm streams. When amarok doesn´t connect to last.fm, i just crashes :-( without "warning"

Nah, it does not crash. It just appears frozen, when the lastfm server is slow. Just wait a bit, it can take up to 30 seconds to connect.

:confused: it´s doesn´t crash?
It does, I am very sure, I´ve seen it with my own eyes!  :eek:
Ok amarok doesn´t crash everytime I use last.fm, but sometimes, especialy when it not able to connect to last.fm! (I guess that I have to insinst on that point :wink:)
But give me a hint how to add this new last.fm feature into Amarok´s "Aktivieren"(Activate??)-Tab.

(Well , I german -please have mercy...my english is(!) not perfect-hope you understand me anyway)

Edit: Dear Mark you are right, amarok is not crashing *well of course not*. I guess I was to impatient...couldn´t wait, until I heard something  :biggrin:
