Squeezebox and LastFM.

Hi,

I love to play Pandora through my Squeezebox but now have discovered LastFM. Can somone tell me step by step how I can play LastFM through my Squeezebox? What is the URL adress?

Thanks
Howard

As I read this back I don't know if this will help you because my 6.5 installation is all tweaked out. I started this post thinking that LastFM capability was built in to SlimServer, but now I don't think so. I think you have to install the Last.FM Plugin. Unzip it into the Plugins folder of your Slimserver installation and restart your Slimserver.

One confusing thing is that though this is a Plugin it does not appear in the Plugins section of SlimServer. It appears in Internet Radio instead. So, go to the Slimserver home page in your browser, then Server Settings. Then select Internet Radio from the dropdown box. Check the Last.FM box and click Change. When the page reloads, enter your Last.FM login information.

Now in your Squeezebox, get to the main menu and scroll to Internet Radio. Go right and scroll to LastFM. It will tell you to press play to start LastFM. Do that. I believe that by default it will play your neighbor radio, but on mine it seems that I have Similar Artist radio available that's based on the last few tracks I played. Once LastFM starts playing (after I hit play), I can navigate up and down (and right?) to pick those other stations.

That should get you started, or at least moving in the right direction. And don't forget: download the SlimScrobbler plugin and install that, so your tracks playing on SlimServer get submitted to Last.FM! Not required to listen to Last.FM, but come on! :) That Plugin DOES appear in the Plugins section of SlimServer.

Listen to some Mike Keneally today!

I am probably listening to Frank Zappa

You can scrobble and listen to last.fm radio through squeezecenter 7.3. The plugins are bundled with the software now.

Hello jth. So you are saying that I don't need to download and install SlimScrobbler to listen to last.fm on my SqueezeBox Boom with SqueezeCenter 7.3? If so, how do I have to configure it to be working?

Thanks,
A.
