I have found that nothing I listen to in the last.fm app gets scrobbled. I have enabled both scrobbling preferences and this does not affect it. Is anyone else having this problem?

I think you have to "LOVE" or "Hate" it, then boxee asks if you want to push it to Last.FM.

Did you rate it and that doesn't work? May be a bug... But I never got into how scrobbling worked...

I have not tried rating it, but I am unsure how you would do this in Boxee anyhow. There are options to scrobble the radio plays like other last.fm clients. I would be happy to try the rating, I just need to know how to do it in Boxee.

Just click on the play button and you will see the popup on the bottom of the media player, that shows you the artwork, artist, fast forward, etc. Here you can send to friends (recommend) or rate. You can even find a hidden gem in this menu. Lyrics for the song playing. :)

The idea behind last.fm is that just by listening to the track, you are voting for it. The more you listen to it the better you like it. Whereas loving a track is a one time big vote up.

Is there a way to make boxee "scrobble" (i hate that word, where did it come from?) all the songs you listen to?

I was surprised scrobbling wasn't happening when I listen to the last.fm radio stuff...

I guess it works okay if you select "submit last.fm radio to last.fm"

Sorry. (smacks self)
