Audioscrobbler Overview
http://www.audioscrobbler.com/about.php
Audioscrobbler is a computer system that builds up a detailed profile of your musical taste. After installing an Audioscrobbler Plugin, your computer sends the name of every song you play to the Audioscrobbler Server.

With this information, the Audioscrobbler server builds you a 'Musical Profile'. Statistics from your Musical Profile are shown on your Audioscrobbler User Page, available for everyone to view.

How is my privacy protected?
Privacy was a major factor when designing the Audioscrobbler system.

We do not publish contact details, so no-one can link your username to your email address
We do not store IP addresses in our database, they are only held in RAM whilst your plugin is active
Plugins do not send the filename or filetype, so we cannot tell whether your music is from an original CD or an MP3 file (we don't want to know)
Our protocol and plugins are open source, and spyware free.

Wait a minute... Isn't this Spyware?
No. The plugins do only what you'd expect; send your listening data to the Audioscrobbler server. They don't harvest any other information from your computer or secretly install rubbish like Gator or Bonzi Buddy. If you're really worried you can grab the latest source code from our Sourceforge project page and compile a plugin yourself :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Steps to follow for the n00bs

1. Register a username
2. Download your audio player's plugin here
3. Install, enable, and setup your username/password for you plugin.
4. Join a group or just check your profile for your track listings!
5. Play music!

Sounds pretty cool, I use Audiomatch right now but I see you can create groups on here...we should start a trancEaddict group for everybody to join.

Yeah, I created a TRANCE group but a TA one would be cool. :)

Actually, spyware is a program that you DON"T WANT, but this you definitely do want! :tongue2 :tongue2 :tongue3

There's more than just playlists. There are group forums and such...reminds me alot like the groups that Audiogalaxy used to have.

I may set it to member approval, but I don't want it set to open cause then anybody can join and spam in the forums & such.

I think it allows people to see what songs are being listen to which in turn, enables one to see if the songs they are listening to are any good. Scrobber does rank tunes that are listen to the most. So maybe in a given week, you can see what tunes are being played the most. And in the long run, maybe even see what tunes were played the most throughout the year (Tune of the year guesstimater). :haha:
