ZuseMe (Zune Desktop Software scobbling for Last.fm client)
By Arnold Vink (Dumbie)
Release: v1.71

--------------------------------------------------------

- Installation Instructions
1) Install the latest Zune Desktop Software.
2) Install the Last.fm client and login (Allow scrobbling from all harddrives)
3) Make sure that you installed the requirements (.NET Framework 4 / Visual C++)
4) Extract the ZuseMe directory to any directory you want.
5) Launch ZuseMe.exe (Runs hidden in the background/tray menu)
6) Have fun scrobbling with the Zune Desktop Software and Last.fm client.

- Tips and tricks
* Closing Zune Desktop Software will send a stop scrobble command to the Last.fm client.
* If your last.fm doesn't receive your currently playing song run ZuseMe as administrator.
* Place a ZuseMe (shortcut) in your Windows startup for easier Zune Software scrobbling.
* ZuseMe works with all your devices connected (Zune HD, WP7, etc) and also works with a Zunepass.
* Play/Pause is not supported unless you use the mediakeys buttons function.
* ZuseMe scrobbles the artist name tag, not the album artist name tag.

    For the ones wondering: ZuseMe works just fine with the new desktop beta client. (v2.1.14)

    Thanks for this program. Zune player is the best and I can contribute my songs to last.fm without a standalone Zune lookalike

    Uhh, Enable both the options to start Zune at startup and close Zune on exiting ZuseMe and start/exit ZuseMe everytime you want to listen to your music instead of Zune itself?

    If I had a request, it would be nice to just launch the Zune process when I click the ZuseMe program instead of just telling me that Zuse is already open (or give me the option to do so). I'd rather have this program on my taskbar that runs everything else than just the Zune one.

    This still is working great. Once I turned off the MusicBrainz option, I basically still get the Last.FM equivalent of the Zune service scrobble where I only have to listen to about 35 seconds before a scrobble comes through. A Zune scrobble is 20 seconds, but even so, no more punishing the 13 minute songs! So far no issues after about a week.

    This is nice. Seriously. I was debating whether to use iTunes which crashes every time thanks to iTunes Match (still can't figure out why and they don't want to fix it).............. or just use my Zune pass. Now, I get the best of both on my tablet. Haven't tried with the phone yet, but I have nothing to lose since the Zune scrobbling has been broken since 7.5 Mango was released. But still, thanks. :) It works great so far.

    Can you send me a song that's not working? (Upload it to Multiupload and personal message me the link)

    It doesn't work... In fact, it randomly drops a song. :(

    potternikola: I just released version 1.70 this should fix some songs not showing up in the last.fm client.

    This is genius, works perfectly on my Lumia 800 and along with ZuseMe my Last.fm life is saved. Sure it looked a little odd that I listened to the same track 39 times in a row (This is the first time I used it since I got my phone) but it works!

    last month
  • potternikola

    I just checked - it doesn't show up on my client. Any ideas? I know the track scrobbled back when I was using other players.. :(

    last month
  • dUMBIe

    Does the track show up in the Last.fm Client? (On your computer), Sometimes tracks only scrobble as 20 second tracks and won't show up on the Last.fm page unless you skip to a other track. (Don't ask me why, this is how Last.fm handles incoming scrobbles)

    last month
  • potternikola

    ZuseME is absolutely amazing - now I can use my favorite media player with LASTFM! The only problem I have is that it sometimes skips a track... Don't know how I could fix this problem.

    Whoops, just saw I need ZenseMe for Zune and WP7 scrobbling. It would be great if one app did all three.

    last month
  • cmswenson

    ZuseMe seems to scrobble what I play in the Zune desktop software client, but it doesn't seem to scrobble what I've played on my Windows Phone or Zune HD. Anybody else have the same problem?

    last month
  • dUMBIe

    Yes, That is what ZenseMe does it checks your played tracks on your Zune HD and scrobbles it to Last.fm.

  • tenshikun

    Soooo will it update what I've listened to on my ZuneHD to my Last.fm account?
