http://www.last.fm/user/ilx_onimo - not entirely refelective of my taste as I listen to most things on my mp3 player & cd players so probably only scrobble 1/5 of what I hear.

I think I've got Spotify scrobbling properly now, though some of the tagging is rubbish.

I'll work my way through the thread and check some compatibilities and things. Feel free to add me to your lists before I get round to adding you.

Now I need to get round to get round to listening to more of the metal albums poll things instead of listening to The Cramps and feeling bad about Lux.

Thursday!!

Your musical compatibility with ilx_onimo is Low

Music you have in common includes Kate Bush, M.I.A., Prince, Tricky and Marnie Stern.

i should really delete marnie stern from my library, considering that she's only in there b/c i gave her a try years ago, and couldn't get more than three songs in

Thursday!!
Thursday got a play boost by doing a split EP with Envy. I need to hear more.

should really delete marnie stern from my library, considering that she's only in there b/c i gave her a try years ago

I only really gave her a try a couple of weeks back after she was being discussed on Kerr's metal poll (doesn't sound metal to my uncultured ears btw!).

If you wanna hear more Thursday, search "Understanding in the Car Crash," the War all the Time album, and "Sugar in Sacrament" from the City by a Light Divided album.

Thanks Mordy, will do.

marnie stern strikes again (although that's because i <3 her).

Overall so far I think my compatibility with many of you is higher than I expected it to be. For some reason I find myself more interested in the artists popping up under the low compatibility listings - like I find it strange that I could share those 4-5 artists with someone yet very little else.

There's loads more to go through, I'll do them when I get home. I'm supposed to be working here :)

Can anyone using a mac please advise re: iTunes taking 5-7 mins to launch after installing Last.fm? I've only had this turned on for 12hrs and I already want to delete it. Surely there's some check box that says "make this suck less" but i can't find it.

it's not fast but no 5-7 minutes either and never has been.

5-7 minutes is outrageous. No problems here after installing last.fm on a mac.

iTunes is a memory pig, and the iTunes last.fm scrobbling plugin is a spit in the memory ocean. I'm guessing you hit some sort of virtual memory threshold at the same time you installed the plugin, by coincidence.. or Some Other Weird iTunes Thing (of which there are plenty.)

If you have little hard disk space left on the one where iTunes is installed, try clearing out space or maybe defragging?

thanks for the suggestions. i have checked the activity monitor and iTunes appears to be using the same amount of real/virtual memory as usual. i'm not ready to believe this is a coincidence and i've got 20+GB available on the volume with iTunes installed. all files are kept on portable HD. 449gb in iTunes.

3GB RAM. Can i disable Last.Fm until i start iTunes and turn it on once my library opens or does last.fm need to be turned on the same time iTunes launches?

Ok, I unchecked the sync ipod option in preferences and iTunes launch time is back to normal. carry on.

Are you using the official Last.fm client? Fuck that thing, it's a pig. iScrobbler is the way to go (though make sure you turn off the absurd "local charts" option).
