和而不同

Last.fm is a social networking website for music. It records what I have been listening and builds my music profile from that. Before I have my iPhone, I use my iPod to listen to music and sync these information to last.fm when I sync my iPod with iTunes. There are major limitations to this method, including that it only counts the last time a track was played.

Now that I have an iPhone (which is basically a computer), and with cellular network connectivity that makes my phone always connected to the Internet, I can forget about syncing—the phone can post the tracks as they are played. This can be done easily by running Scrobbled (which in my opinion should be pronounced ‘Scrobble-d’).

Browse to my last.fm profile page and you should be able to see what I am listening, with a delay of probably a minute or two.
