Player 1.1 retracted

I hope we'll still be able to use 1.1 if we already have it and can do with the bugs... remember that the older player versions don't work on Windows ME! I wouldn't like to be forced to revert to Last.FM proxy again, since that one is much more cumbersome to use and also doesn't support in-player tagging.

if i can help debug at all, i dont mind assisting. ive had nothing but troubles with the latest player versions (crashes before it even opens the window).

i used to write code for a living, and i dont mind installing debug environments or such like... (running XP pro SP1)

I was wondering, as I couldn't get 1.1.1 to work and just noticed that an older version was back up for D/L.

(In my case, the Player didn't appear to launch - it flashed up for a split second and then disappeared, and yet it appeared at player.exe around 11 times in Windows Task Manager....!)

OK, will give 1.0.4 a go then.

please get proper ALSA support in the next release!

http://www.last.fm/forum/21714/_/62786 Plus there are another few threads here about the linux version repeatedly crashing... this happens when ALSA is set as the output.

Alsa won't use Dmixing, which is ultimately the reason why so many people use it now.

No matter what last.fm will use up my soundcard directly. However, using the "external media player" option i can get XMMS to connect to it for proper Alsa support(and multiple sounds at once through Dmixing)

EDIT: Also, from what i hear through friends, the new Last.FM player won't use Directsound/Wineout's mixing features on Windows, which means on onboard soundcards you can't play multiple sounds while using last.fm, just like the linux version not supporting Dmix.

Thanks for this player, ver. 1.0.5 for Linux works flawless :-)

It's a sticky on here somewhere.

Also, there is a 1.1.2rc on these forums somewhere, i've seen it posted twice. It's supposed to work with win98(although i haven't/cannot ever test it ;)


Over here on Slackware 10.2 with kernel 2.6.14 and dropline gnome, the player 1.1.1 works very good.(once i plug XMMS into it)

Last.fm radio with XMMS! Sounds interesting... must check it out :-)

Quoth AliKira:
It's been almost 6 months since I've been able to use last.fm's player due to the Windows 98 incompatibility thing...
... ...
Is there really any way I can get a player to work on a win 98 system... I wonder... or an idea of when a player might be released that I can actually use?
... ...same here at win98se...Quoth MamboSun:
... ...
In my case, the Player didn't appear to launch - it flashed up for a split second and then disappeared ... ... that's it.

...a version history is really missing,
because i see a new (?) version at
http://www.last.fm/help/player/

...i need the non - install
Windows Zip - for the office PC

and did use that
LastfmWindows-1.0.4 Version
2 weeks (or so)
before.

i'll give the 1.1.2 a try...

erm... i am unable to find a link to the older versions. could someone point me to a direct link ?

for the record i gonna write my issues on winxp systems: common stations suddenly display that there is not enough contentm, while there is on an older version; the player streams sound but the according trackinfos take long to load, mostly displaying correct when the next track is starts.

secondly: i love the new features. is there a ETA for the next (fixed) version?

all the best
