Rhythmbox and a couple of other music apps support this as well, but options are always welcome - especially when provided by the official vendors. The Radio pane is the real boon of this app – Last.fm subscribers (£3/m) are able to listen to their radio directly in the desktop. The downloads page doesn’t actually say the Linux app will scrobble tracks from your local media players, so short of trying to shake some loose change out of Linux users pockets, you might wonder what the point of even making a Linux client was…įor now, the Linux Last.fm app isn’t useful for much more than looking shiny on your desktop unless you use the Radio feature: Personal Radio In my testing none of the usual media apps are detected by thew new Scobbler, and there are no settings pertaining to which apps should be scrobbled. However, the main reason you might want to use this on your desktop is not yet available for Linux. When did you last have an urge to see what your contacts were listening to in real time? Now, you can - without even opening your web browser. The Friends section shows who you are connected to on the service and what they are listening to. The Profile section shows statistics about yourself: how many tracks you have Scrobbled, how many tracks you have ‘Loved’, and who your top-listened artists are. Your Scrobbles are displayed in a list, and clicking on one takes you to an overview of the track and its artist. ![]() ![]() When you click on the tabs in the sidebar, you’ll glide between the panels, much like in Gwibber. No longer is it a second class citizen with a nasty, sub-par interface, but rather a ‘proper’ desktop app - just as you would expect to find on OSX or Windows.īuilt on WebKit, the app unsurprisingly runs very smoothly. Last.fm recently released a new version of their scrobbling app - including a native version for linux.
