Shred XLIX: And then the North Koreans attacked

Yea, it's quite nice to have their albums all available for streaming on Bandcamp, with exception to Bard.

That website is so cluttered and annoying to use. So..

I think Andy said it was on Spoty, but I don't remember.

Scrobble?  wuzzat?

In other news, I'm having a sh-t time at work this week, having to bend over backwards to work around missing data from our client, stuff I've been trying to get for most of this year, but they've gone through a massive systems change and corporate restructuring in the past couple of years.  I depend on the quality of their data, so my work has suffered as a result.  Getting down to crunch time now, and everyone's now realizing, "OHHHH... he really DID need that data."

Yes.  I play most everything either within iTunes or on my iPod, and both of these updated Last.FM.  Spotify also works so I am good with streaming albums on there.  When I listen to a physical CD or LP, I am anal enough that I will have it run iTunes so that it will scrobble the plays on Last.FM.  I've heard that there might be an easier way to do it, but I don't know one.  Pretty much everything that I have listened to in the last 5 years is recorded for dexterity's sake; not that it really means anything to anyone but me.    The only things that I don't record are the songs that I hear when I am out in public or at the gym or listening to the radio; that kind of stuff, although I am anal enough that I think it would be cool to somehow have those kind of listens scrobbled too.  Oh also, watching videos on YouTube doesn't get scrobbled so I kind of tend to keep that to a minimum too.  I lead such a sad existence.

I mostly listen to my music on an iPod, but it's not connected to the computer while it's playing.  How might that work?  Can it recall what you played , when you do plug it in to the computer later on?

20 years ago, a phrase like "script to scrobble youtube" would have had caused men in white coats to drag you away to the puzzle factory.
