last.fm plugin for traktor

[galaxion]

do you think this will ever happen?
and how hard would it be to implement?
my last.fm scrobbles really don't reflect what i listen to because i use traktor so often these days.

It could probably happen. You'd have a script that'd parse out Traktor's history playlists and scrobble them, that you could set to run every day. But I wouldn't expect NI to be the one writing the code.

Yeah lethals right N.I wont right the code for this, no way.
Theyre to busy writing the code for much more funky stuff

I've written one for Serato ScratchLive!… and it does it in realtime i.e. as you play, too. (Unfortunately I don't own Traktor).

It's still sort of a prototype, it works but it's not 'user friendly' (you have to run it from Terminal / Dos box). http://github.com/ben-xo/sslscrobbler

This would be cool. There's someone that works at one of the internet radio stations on the forums, but I forgot who and I think it's Pandora any way.

Ha!! It's ben-xo and it's Last.fm. Any chance of this being done?

It's totally possible. I could hack something together in a couple of days, based on the existing "Traktor Scrobbler" that's out there (which just posts to, uhm, Twitter - bad choice of name I think!)

As far as I know, it hijacks the Shoutcast function to get the info, so the approach is sound.

But I'm not so much of a desktop app guy, i mostly do web apps and back-end... which is why my Serato scrobbler ain't much to look at at the moment

Incidentally, my Serato one does Twitter too now

I would actually love something like this...

I'll improve my Traktor-Scrobbler soon so you can also post on Last.fm using it. A lot of people asked for it so its definitely going to happen.
