Description:
A group for users of the Last.fm free music player for Google Chrome.

What is Last.fm free music player?
Last.fm free music player is a free music player for Google Chrome with Last.fm integration.

How does it work?
There's a little site called vkontakte.ru, or vk.com. That's where the tracks are coming from.

That's a Russian site, right?
Yes, in Soviet Russia, track scrobble you. Actually, it's like Facebook, with a dash of YouTube. It's not one of those "Psst - hey, Buddy. Wanna download some MP3's?" sites. 135 million people and counting use this site. Wikipedia

But Last.fm says "We think the site you're about to visit is untrustworthy or spam..."
Well, McAfee SiteAdvisor seems to think it's OK. There have been phishing scams aimed at users of that site, but the site itself is as legitimate as the above mentioned sites.

OK, so far, so good. Now this Chrome extension is telling me that it needs to access my private data on all websites. What's that about?
It does not access your private data. Chrome shows the warning for all extensions that access browser tabs even if they do not access any private data. See this discussion that explains it.

Update: It works best if you get an account with vkontakte.ru or vk.com.

    is it just me, or have none of the actual issues (not playing the first track on the list, stopping at 0:00 and then not going on to the next track etc.) been fixed in the last update? :S

    It's available now, but IDK it won't allow you to pick what tracks of your loved tracks you want to listen to. I will stick to the original player. I hope you don't drop that one now that Chromus works.....

    Mac Users: Google Chrome installs the extension into a randomly generated directory in ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions and registers it in its Preferences file.

    " Please note that VKontakte has moved to h t t p : //v k . com / " Yep, that'll do it.

    Yep - the old "log out and it works fine" trick.

    For me also kaput, but if I once permanently log out of vkontakte.ru - Free Music Player again began play songs.

    Unfortunately it isn't the only addon with this problem. I, personally, use another two addons for scrobbling from vk.ru and both have the same problem as Last.fm Free Music Player: they cannot connect to the database of the website because of the name changing. Unfortunately, until an update is provided, the addon(s) are unusable in every form (no tracks, no artists, no nothing). Patience is a virtue... i guess.

    Doesn't play anything at all... Any idea, someone?

    Okay, replace `vk.js` with what?
