Hi all We've got a new user group for hardware forums over at last.fm which you can view here A bit about last.fm: Hardware Forums Group Page - Last.fm
Whoo! 4 members so far The idea of the HWF LastFM group is that we can see what the most listened to music is and share tastes etc. Linux users can use AmaroK (KDE) or Banshee (GNOME) with LastFM, which is easier then downloading LastFM's software
Hmm..sounds quite similar to Pandora (what I've been using). Check it out at Pandora Internet Radio - Find New Music, Listen to Free Web Radio. It's decently accurate and I've discovered some pretty rockin' tunes with it. I'll join up anyway!
trust me, i can't do anything right, LOL downloaded LastFM_Linux_1.0.0b.tar.bz2 extracted ran ./lastfm Code: : No protocol specified bin_LastFM: cannot connect to X server :0.0 root@dave-desktop:/home/dave/Desktop/LastFM_Linux_1.0.0b/Last.fm_Client_1.0.0b# what now ?
Log out of root (you cant run graphical programs as root) and instead use sudo. BTW, why don't you just use AmaroK for Last.fm? In the settings you can set up last.fm support
Hey just thought I'd pimp this thread as we need 7 more members before we get an official Hardware Forum's music chart! Our group is here Anti-Trend is the new group leader because I am too lazy to run it properly!
I use Amarok for Last.FM but not regularly as the skip option does not work..... Apparently a known bug...fixed in 2.0. I prefer to to be able to skip here and there..... Now listening to AT's library.....
The Last.fm player is great for discovering new acts. I generally type in a tag and let it play away. Anything I like I buy
