Unable to scrobble from my iPod

Songs scrobble when I'm listening to my iPod on my computer but on it's own it isn't taking anything. Any advice on what to do?

Hello,
Please provide the following details:
Your OS, client version and iPod version. Do you use automatic or manual synching?

Also, my iTunes plug-in is version 3.0.2.0

Does playcount increase in iTunes after synching with iPod?
Please provide your client version details and iTunes version details.
In client: help -> about last.fm

Thanks!

i have the same prob

it scrobbles, but only if you press (diagnostics -> iPod scrobbling) "scrobble iPod"

don't know how the prob started

i am having a similar problem. last.fm scrobbles tracks played from my iTunes library, but not my iPod. i'm using Mac OS X 10.3.9 with a 4th gen iPod, and last.fm 1.1.3.0. I sync my iPod automatically.

Hey all.

No idea if this will help you, but I spent ages playing around with installing/uninstalling/3rd party programs, and nothing worked. In the end, I re-installed iTunes and Last.fm, then went into Task Manager and closed all the iTunes/iPod processes, and the Last.fm one, then re-started, then opened iTunes by plugging the iPod in, and just as I'd given up and ejected the iPod... it scrobbled 166 tracks going back about two weeks!

I'm going to try again now and leave it plugged in to get the rest (hadn't worked for about a month until today).

Hope it helps.

Same as for morlock07, please provide detailed info.

Hi,

Been having problems with iPod scrobbling recently.
On my work computer tracks usually get scrobbled though only after doing the "iTunes /regserver" command every single time, and even then often some tracks are overlooked.
In the Last.fm client under "Known iPods" I have three listed for some reason, one is my actual iPod associated with my Last.fm account, another says iphone/000A27...., and the third is diagnostic/unknown.

On this computer the setup is as follows:

Windows XP
iTunes 8
Last.fm Version 1.5.2.38918
iTunes plugin version 3.0.2.0
iPod is manually managed, it's an 80GB iPod Classic

iTunes playcounts are updated.

Any help from staff or anyone else would be much appreciated

Is "enable iPod scrobbling" option switched on in "tools > iPod"?

So are the tracks wich get skipped when sycing from work stored in your iTunes local library?
Manual management is not the most effective so i guess this is more a matter of tweaking things than.
A good workaround to synch automatically even when music on your library is more than the overall space availble on you iPod, is to sych through a dedicated playlist.

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Well to me it seems completely random which tracks get scrobbled and which are omitted. Most of the tracks on my iPod are not stored in my local iTunes library at work, however they get stored. Last week an album I had in this library didn't get scrobbled.
This morning for example all the tracks I listened to over the weekend got scrobbled.

I understand manual management makes scrobbling complicated, however I don't really understand what you mean by "sync through a dedicated playlist".

And what about my iPod not getting properly detected on my home computer?

Cheers.
