Someone in the last.fm forums has written a scrobbler for Napster…sweet!

For those uninitiated, a scrobbler is used to submit song information to last.fm, where you can view my Recently Played Tracks, my top albums, trends in listening, etc. The scrobbler is a little program that I run and sits in my taskbar, monitoring my music player (in this case, Napster), submitting the information to last.fm’s servers.

last.fm offers widgets I can embed on my site so you could see what I’m listening to, which I’m trying to do on this blog, the code is actually there, but it doesn’t show up over to the right…oh well, I’ll keep plugging away…hopefully it’s not a limitation of the fact I use wordpress.com for hosting.

In the meantime, you can check my last.fm profile page.

EDIT: turns out the code wasn’t there. Apparently WordPress.com filters out certain tags, part of the last.fm widget. No biggie, added the RSS feed there instead. Sorry, you’ll have to settle for that until WordPress.com adds the (much-requested) last.fm widget.
