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.

    good stuff. nice.

    last week

  • dUMBIe

    You cant read out the Zune software/profile plays as far as I know so theres also no way to scrobble them.

    Scrobbling works, but is there a way to grab playcounts from Zune or even the files themselves? My Zune profile has 150k plays on it already, I was hoping I could get that data on my last.fm profile somehow.

  • maledict7

    I'm getting a strange error, often it happens that the "confirm scrobbles" windows gets frozen and it closes itself.

    last month

    WEIRD. As soon as I posted that below, I closed and re-opened everything and now it's working! This program is amazing thank you.

  • MerKzRx

    this was working for me but now it's not?! I'm using v1.71 and the beta. ??? it won't scrobble!

  • mrCh3p3

    I was looking for this, for a very long tome, thanks!

  • maledict7

    How does one apply for the betatesting of the new desktop client? Thanks. :)

    February 2012

  • dUMBIe

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

  • obylium

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

    February 2012

  • dUMBIe

    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?

  • daelin914

    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.

    February 2012

  • daelin914

    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.

  • Omoroca_13

    Works very great =)

  • daelin914

    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.
