Just deleted my account!!!!!! 120,000 plays since 2007 GONE!!!!!!!!!! Hoorah!!!
I was spending far too much time than is healthy worrying about scrobbles and whether my ipod had scrobbled. WHO GIVES A FOOK!!!!?!?!! I am now free to listen to 3/4 of a song if I so wish....

How dare you, Last FM is awesome

I was like a scrobble freak....it was ridiculous

I don't care about that, I'm just all about the discovery of music

What's scrobble?

There ya go

An illness if you're like me.

Thank you.


I don't get it, what's so wrong with it? It just counts your plays doesn't it?

It's so much more. It allows you to build a library of the music you listen to and share your tastes with everyone.

I'm suffering from the Lastfm illness Could never bring myself to delete it, I'm too OCD about it!!

I wouldn't worry, there are far more destructive addictions.

But why is it driving people insane? It sounds like a really useful tool to have.

So was I, until this morning.

I getting fed up with sharing stuff - I want my privacy back....I'm on the verge of facebook abandonment.

Well I was at the stage I wouldn't listen on my music centre - ONLY laptop, as songs listened to away from laptop/ipod wouldn't be logged and recorded for no-one in particular to look at. Ridiculous!!

It is very useful when discussing music with fellow fans.


I don't share anything personal but I like sharing my music taste with people.

The Linux version of the Scrobbler does scrobble your iPod plays

It no longer concerns me

Lol. I'm a little obsessed with play counts too.

I've had this problem for such a long time that it made me delete Last Fm! I'd listen to my ipod all day, go to sync it and like one song would scrobble I got pretty OCD about it too, I only find it's good for discovering new music.

Thanks guys, I'm now really intrigued by it, may have to go check it out.

You will discover a lot of music you may have never heard of before.

I totally love last.fm, though I agree - the scrobbling can become a bit obsessive! For instance, when I listen to a song on Youtube or somewhere else that doesn't scrobble, I always feel like I have to then listen to the same song on somewhere that does scrobble just so that I get the play count for it Honestly though, I could never delete it - I don't know what I'd do without it! It's such a great site, for so many different things

You can get audioscrobbler for Firefox that scrobbles Youtube plays

Well ok, I know that there are utilities that can do such things, but I know I would still be selective of what I wanted to scrobble!
