Last.fm Boffin - Local Radio Tech Demo [0.0.4 released]

Scroll down for new releases and download links!

May I restate that this is a demo? Thanks :) This software isn't an indication of Last.fm's product direction or anything like that. Well sorta... That's why we're after your feedback.

Boffin is Last.fm radio, for your local music. Fire it up, select your music directories, and let it roll for a while. Eventually you'll get a tag cloud like this:

The cloud represents your music collection coupled with Last.fm tag data. Select a few, maybe rock and female vocalists:

Click play! Boffin will scrobble via the official Last.fm client.

You can even resolve xspfs:

Try this one: http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/tag/rock/toptracks.xspf

But you'll need to download Boffin first!

Windows: http://cdn.last.fm/client/Boffin-0.0.7.msi [1]
Mac: http://cdn.last.fm/client/Boffin-0.0.4.dmg [2]
Source: http://cdn.last.fm/client/boffin-0.0.4.tar.bz2 [3]

Let us know what we can do to improve it.

Max

ps For the tracks in the directories you choose, we ask for the global tags from Last.fm. This means that by using Boffin you are sending your track metadata to Last.fm. Now, having said this, we don't store this data, it is merely a service that looks at the track data submitted and gives back a whopping great list of tags so we can generate the above cloud. But anyway, most of you who scrobble have already submitted all this information :P

[1] mac and source builds of 0.0.5 on the way.

[2] It seems we don't support Tiger, I'll rectify this next release. It is however a universal binary, so PPC Leopard installs will work.

[3] Mash it up and add cool stuff and send us patches!

First issue is no sound is heard after a few skips and I have to restart. The song selection seems ok so far anyway.

no tags?

What's the tag source? It scanned my music location, but shows no tags have been found.

Hi Maz35,

Thanks for trying it out! Are you on Windows?

We use Qt's Phonon system which is a thin layer over Microsoft's Directshow. And, surprisingly, Directshow has problems with a lot of MP3's out there.

But, we've found a 3rd party Directshow filter which you can install which makes them work!

Until I get the installer working, it's going to be a bit of a hassle, but give it a shot:

1. Download http://cdn.last.fm/client/WMFDemux.zip
2. Put the WMFDemux.dll somewhere (like the Boffin directory)
3. As an admin, at a command prompt: regsvr32 WMFDemux.dll
4. Give Boffin another spin.

You can unregister that dll with: regsvr32 /u WMFDemux.dll

cheers,
doug.

Yeah it's likely the problem with it stopping is an MP3 Windows' codec system doesn't like. See Doug's post above. If it is this problem, skipping again should get a track that works.

We're planning to release an update soon that addresses this. Boffin has auto-update built in.

Hi mdotbb,

It should download the tags from last.fm as it scans...

Are you on Windows? Did you permit it to access the net? Have you trying re-running Boffin?

doug.

mxcl says: oh yeah, also Internet connection required for the scan step.

Currently we only support MP3. But we should be able to support most tag and music formats. Although I can't promise a timeline.

There is a bug where the tag cloud doesn't display unless you restart Boffin. So possibly you can try that.

XP Pro SP3 here
I get the " failed to initialize properly 0xc0000005" error when I go to run it. Tried installing the Visual C files, but the installation just hangs, the extraction window closes, and MSIEXEC sits idly in task manager.

yes I'm on window vista, should have mentioned that.

I will try that dll file however...

This doesn't seem to be the issue as once I get one silent file all subsequent tracks are also silent.

Crash

If you want to make it crash on a mac, hit spacebar while it is scanning your music :)
(I do realise this is only a demo, I just thought I'd let you know)
I had my window focus on Boffin instead of Safari accidentally!

oooh, It's good though!

Done!

Another thing I noticed is boffin wont exit properly and hogs resources if this problem is encountered. I have to end it via the task manager.

Nice One... Good idea, I really like it!

As a potential improvement down the line, it appears that at the moment selecting multiple tags provides an OR outcome (i.e. Boffin will play tracks tagged with '90s' OR 'Pop'. What would be really useful would be the ability to make it an AND (i.e. Boffin will play tracks that are tagged with '90s' AND 'Pop'.)
