rb-synclastfm

This project consists in a plugin for Linux Gnome Rhythmbox music player for syncing with a user's Last.fm account.

Features
  • (1) Sync the "playcount" field when listening to the track
  • (2) Use the "love" property associated with a track to update Rhythmbox "rating" property
  • (3) Batch sync using the user's recent tracks journal on Last.fm (i.e. the scrobbling history)
Usage
The Last.fm plugin must be configured in order for this extension to work: synclastfm uses the provisioned "username" from Last.fm.

Simply enable the extension in Edit -> Plugins -> Last.fm Synchronization features.


Dependencies

In its simple form, this plugin functions for (1) and (2) but when coupled with musicbrainz-proxy-dbus and lastfm-proxy-dbus it provides feature (3):
  • batch update through traversing the "user.recenttracks" of a Last.fm user account
  • increased [artist_name;track_name] resolution to a Rhythmbox database entry
