I'm finding that Last.FM has stopped scrobbling one band from my iPod. It used to be fine then it just stopped working. Turned off fingerprinting and it seemed to work again.

This is a bump.

I'm not providing any valuable or unique input other than that has been happening to me since day one. Most tracks scrobble, some don't. Fingerprinting had nothing to do with it (at least in my case); the only correlation I could trace amongst the left-out tracks was that they had, at the given time, been recently synched to my iPod, not necessarily recently added to my iTunes library.

If anyone gives a care, namely Last.fm staff, I (and obviously many others) would love to get some feedback on this. Yes, it's minor. But hey, we all love music and apparently we're all obsessive about it, myself included.

Yesterday I bought an iPod, listened to 5 or 6 tracks at night and today only scrobbled one. Still not a problem because I'm starting with my iPod but I don't want to have that problem you all have...

I've been having this problem for the longest time.
Last time this happened I just deleted my account because I was so annoyed about it.
Now that I have a new account, and a new computer so I'm basically starting over completely with no plays at all, I was hoping that it would be better this time around.

However the same problem - selective scrobbling. It's really annoying. Maybe I'd be less frustrated if I just stopped with last.fm completely?
...Or they could just fix it once and for all.

Try this, Go to your scrobbler and:

-I did this and the scrobbler found all my missing scrobbles from the last time i connected my ipod.

-I did this without having my ipod connected.

-Don't know why or how it worked. Just happy it did.
I suspect it was a coincidence, because this didn't do jack shit for me.

I've been having this problem for months, I purposely looked up a thread like this so I could rant.
I figured the last.fm client must be faulty, so the only thing I'm confused about right now is why people are coming here saying, "Ugh, I have the exact same problem!" and then going on about some new problem. The original poster said they would play a certain song about a hundred times and it'd only scrobble it 50 times but then everyone's coming here complaining about how particular bands or newly-synced tracks are ignored.
Anyway, I have the same problem as the original poster. I played a track 244 times today and it scrobbled 50 times. All the other tracks I scrobbled, which were under 50, scrobbled the right amount, just not that one and this has been going on for as long as I can remember. Nobody even seems to care.

I'm having this same problem for months now. Music I have in my iPod for quite a while scrobbles just fine, but new music I put it a few months ago does not scrobble. In iTunes works fine, but in my iPod it doesn't. I hate this.
I don't understand why Last.fm doesn't say anything after all these rants. Say something!

Found a solution !!!

Hey guys, i had this same annoying problem with my Ipod 120g, i did something and it worked !!!

1.Last.Fm>Tools>Options>Ipod>Push (Clear User Associations)
2.Reconnect your ipod so last.fm will find your ipod again like it's the first time
3.Enjoy living scrobbles(2 weeks old scrobbles) being scrobbled = D

I'm having the same problem as the other posters here.
Seems to have stopped working over the last couple of weeks.
I'm using a 3rd gen iPod Nano with iTunes 9 for XP.
I've tried the Help>Diagnostics and Clear User Associations suggestions but neither have worked.

I'm having a SIMILAR problem...

If i listen to one track more than 50 times (yes i know.... but i will continue) it will only scrobble that track 50 times and no more. So the rest of my scrobbles are lost.
Even when manually scrobbling it won't get back those lost scrobbles.
If that was confusing, look at this way...
I listened to one track 74 times, it only scrobbled 50 plays..... Those remaining 24 seems to have been officially lost now....
Any help at all?

Glad to know i'm not the only one! Right as it stands if i manually scrobble it after it automatically scrobbles it; it comes up with the exact same listening data.
But even then when i scrobble the manual data, it still won't record all my plays.

So basically:
Automatic scrobbles - 76 plays [only 50 scrobbled]
Manual scorbbles - 76 plays [only 50 scrobbled]

WHICH means that i'm not scrobbling what i've actually listened to, i'm just duplicating what Last.fm will allow me to scrobble...
Has there recently been a change in the amount of plays (per song) that last.fm can scrobble? Coz i've never had this problem before!

maybe itunes is the problem?

i guess it's about itunes.
doesn't the scrobbler fetch ipod plays from itunes after they're synced?

i've just got an ipod touch, had its first sync and disconnected it. then i listened to 2 albums and some random tracks. both albuns werent scrobbled but the random tracks.
i've installed itunes because of my ipod touch, so its history was clear. all i had listened to appeared on the itunes history (play count).

so, linking the fact that the playcount got updated after syncing but only some of these plays were scrobbled, with the other fact that some tracks played on itunes don't scrobble, i'm thinking the problem goes with itunes.

another thing that makes me think of a bug in last.fm scrobbler with itunes, is that my regular player has been winamp for a while before i got the ipod touch.

i used to use itunes as my default player, but it wouldn't scrobble every LAST track i listened to. it would show on my profile page that i was listening to it, but whenever it ended, nothing would show in my last.fm history. i was ok about it because i would just have to play something else for a few seconds (so it would show up in my history LISTENING TO) and then the song played before (the real last track) would show up in my history.

then i changed to winamp for someother reason and i noticed nothing of that ever happens. the last track played is scrobbled correctly, always.

i've been clearing itunes play count and user associations in the scrobbler's ipod options menu. everything's working fine.

i've also disabbled fingerprinting.

both are suggestions i've read above in this forum.

also, i've noticed that if i skip to the next track when it's in a track's last seconds, this track won't be scrobbled. i guess i gotta listen to the whole track so it will get an itunes play count.

SOLVED: a quick fix for the patient and desperate

this just worked for me:
clear the user associations in last.fm as said above.

-plug in your ipod
-click music (under your ipod logo)
-right click the top of one of the empty columns, ie: (song name, artist, album) to the far right. Make it so last played and play count are options
-click last played so that the most recent stuff played on you IPOD is at the top.
-play the first song at the top, then move your mouse to the 0:01 second mark and click it.
-if you do it right the play count should go up.
-keep your mouse over the 0:01 second point and keep doing it so that last second plays and your ipod considers it scrobbled.
-do this until you get to the last song that wasnt scrobbled from your ipod.

Note: since you altered the play count within your ipod, it will be like you listened to it. The date when you listened will be wrong, but the info will still be there, which is what i care most about.

NOW:

eject the ipod
close itunes
close last.fm
restart your comp

I left my ipod plugged in, but if u want to take it out it prolly doesnt matter.

Now when the comp starts up plug in the ipod, or if its already in wait for itunes to load up.
last.fm should show up too.

if it scrobbles what you just did automatically, problem solved.

if not, open the last.fm box, go to options>diagnostics>click scrobble ipod.

you may need to do it once with "itunes automatically scrobbles... or "i manually.."

mine is a 160 gb ipod on windows and I did the manual setting, then clicked scrobble, and it picked up all the songs that I just went back and manually "played"

Worked for me.

Peace and good luck.

Using brand new 3rd gen iPod Shuffle 4gb on WinXP.

Here's my list of issues:

1) last.fm will see a song as 'now playing' but not remember the track was played.
2) not scrobbling the iPod or iTunes plays (never had this issue with WinAmp)
3) if if I go to my last.fm profile while a song is 'now playing' and 'love it', last.fm remembers that it was played.
4) upon trying all the various fixes listed in this thread, when I reconnect my iPod/iTunes, the scrobbler will see (some!) iTunes plays as if they'd been played from the iPod, but not see iPod plays.

One other issue I forgot to mention above... I noticed that when iTunes is launched thus launching last.fm's software, I do not have the options to 'love' or 'ban' tracks in the status tray icon's right click menu nor the software window's large top menu buttons. It knows the song is playing, it just won't let me do anything with it.

I'm having the same issue as many in this thread -- plays are recorded properly in iTunes, but are not scrobbled. I just tested it with a couple different artists, and watched as they were ignored in the scrobbling.

I'm not that bent because this is a free service, but it will make me look for other solutions when I have time.
