    Win 64-bit here to stay - where's LastFM Scrobbler, eh?

    General 32-bit UPDATE
    This platform is new ie: Intel SSD hardware and Win 64
    LastFM Srobbler was 'fine' until ...
    2012 Jan 01 at 07:00 AM Microsoft decied to kill IE32

    IE32 is dead on Win 64.
    At same time, LastFM Scrobbler ... went into track recycle mode.
    [and was a bitch to reinstall]

    "General information about the Scrobbler ... The scrobbler is available for Windows XP and Vista and Mac OS X 10.4 or later, as well as a source tarball for Linux users. Other operating systems are not supported." ...meeeYOW!

    Skiye: 'Win 64 works "fine" [for now]' NOT.

    please-please-please
    64 scrobbler for Win 64

    (much as mom loves her mac 10.7 facebook lapper taps, no sound system,
    family's sound system is Windows 64 and we are really missing
    LastFM - keeping our subscription going ...
    hope and pray Scrobbler scores prosperity)
    wake-up call

    May the warm winds of heaven
    Blow softly upon your house.
    May the Great Spirit bless all who enter there.
    May your mocassins make happy tracks in many snows,
    and may the Rainbow always touch your shoulder.
    Osiyo!

    unlikely to ever see another scrobble release

    They haven't done a single bug fix for the scrobbler in the last year; they are unlikely to release anything new any time soon. If you look at their blog, it highlights all the music-label like stuff they are doing now, and I suspect that focus extends through out the company. The tech stuff just got them on the map, and now they are moving on to fun stuff.

  • please be positive

    and...
    you could try to run the existing 32 app with compatibility mode
    (each app has a property context menu where you can let it run under an older windows version setting)

    Now that sounds interesting, and I never noticed that the way you put it. Thanks for the uppbeat good news.

    Hmmm. Now that gets super interesting! Plug that thar Scrobbler active-x into Internet Explorer (64-ahem).

    So you can run 64-bit in compatibility mode for 32-bit? That's a FANTASTIC idea.

    Run that by Walt's circus down Florida, hey. They can make a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g happen. He-he-he.



    Me? I'm joining Xymon'n wait'n fer them label thingy's to git as good as scrobbler was


    Seriously though, Symantec warned me not to ever use IE32 - it's getting totally wasted in the new 64-bit internet. Donkey-on-the-Freeway ware. Trajic bloody mess, we agree.

    What's positive is technology that moves thousands of times faster - and what that is doing for music.

    Wow! That's a wild icon you gots there, Erkan. Amazing!
