Random 35 Tracks Tape Scrobble Problem

TwilightSkyline · Post by **TwilightSkyline** » Mon Jun 03, 2013 10:33 pm

This album doesn't scrob on last.fm, and I assume because it's not a confirmed release. If I try tagging with musicbrainz, nothing shows up on their list. Does anybody know how I can get this to show up?

Did you make them yourself?

Yeah That's what my mp3's are labeled. It's all there was really.. I looked for an album on last.fm to use but nothing. Just that whole album that people scrobble off of youtube.

If I understood correctly, it has nothing to do with the album itself being an unconfirmed release, but rather with the anti-spam scrobbling limitations Last.fm enforces. For the most part they're pretty stupid, for example Eno's Sparrowfall triplet isn't/wasn't allowed to scrobble with proper tags. You try to scrobble with [untitled] titles, right?

I use this scheme, and it works:

Audiotrack A01
Audiotrack A02
...
Audiotrack B01
Audiotrack B02
...

Under the album name "Random 35 Tracks Tape".

edit: Might as well slam the whole tracklist here to avoid confusion.

Is there a way to add an album yourself?

Yeah, Label your tracks the way you want it to be scrobbled then play the track in your player and it will record whatever the tags are onto the site.

BTW Is it cool if I add you as a friend on there? I bet we would have a decent compatibility.
