Scrobble to libre.fm via rhythmbox

By , Published July 5, 2010

Scrobble Rhythmbox plays to your Libre.Fm account using the ScrobbleFree Rhythmbox plug-in.

Libre.Fm is a free and open-source replacement for last.fm founded in 2009, and still under development, the service was forged on the principle of ensuring user privacy. Libre.Fm does not log users' IP addresses, does not claim ownership of  users' data and allows users the option of whether to display their listening habits publically.

€œlibre.fm is a free network service that will allow users to share their musical tastes with other people. It should be more than just a free replacement for Last.fm and It should have its own identity and features.€

      This happens to me practically every time I add a PPA – I think the keyserver is just down a lot, I don’t think it has anything to do with this PPA or this package.

      Because I’m missing keys from PPAs I’ve added I get messages about unauthenticated repositories and packages whenever I apt-get update/upgrade. I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard to write a script that got any keys you were missing, I’m just not bothered/motivated enough to write one. It’d be nice if the keyserver just worked in the first place.

        We did feature such a script last yeat http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/09/automaticall… not sure if it still works cos of a few changes to Launchpad (and i have no missing keys to test it)

          Nice! It does still work, thanks! The article must have passed me by at the time.

          It might be helpful to stick the new link in the original article (or comments) – people posted a few weeks ago about the link being dead.

    I remember checking their website a year or two ago and it looked terrible, I’m very happy to see it has improved! Now, if only I used rhythmbox ;)
