    Streaming from Artist page question

    I apologise if this has already been covered somewhere before but I couldn't find anything.

    Has anyone else had problems when listening to songs from artist pages and them not scrobbling to listened tracks? Mine seems a bit hit and miss to whether or not it actually saves.

    Is this just to be expected or any idea if it might be fixable?

    Cheers!

    If they are 30 second "previews" - those won't scrobble.

    Though I haven't tested the scrobb-a-bility of a "full length preview" on an artist page yet.....is that what you're having problems with?

    It's the ones that have the label "full track".

    I'd say about 50% of the time they actually scrobble, but I'm beginning to think it's just par for the course?

    Anyone able to shed more light on this?
  • I've asked about this several times. The best answer I've gotten was essentially "deal with it." Sometimes the flash player just doesn't record them for whatever reason.

    Ah, well. Deal with it I must then.

    I would have thought the goal for Last.fm would be to get people relying on the website for their music rather than their own collection to generate more hits or whatever.

    Sorry for bumping my thread but I haven't really gotten an answer. Can anyone else shed any more light on this?

    Hey,

    Could you give examples of songs that doesnt' scrobble?
    Is this only when you listen in the Flash-player or also in the client?

    It's when I listen to them off of the webpage.

    For example I just listened to Stevie Nicks - Rooms On Fire all the way through and it hasn't scrobbled.

    There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to what does and doesn't scrobble.
