MobileScrobbler 1.1.0 is released! It should show up in the Community Sources repository shortly.

New features:
* Ability to stream Last.FM radio stations over wifi
* Displays Last.FM artist profile for currently playing song
* Ability to disable EDGE usage
* Slightly re-designed status bar icon
* Automatic login
* Mark songs as love / ban on your profile
* Send “Now Listening” data as well as scrobbling finished songs

Bug fixes:
* Fix a freeze when artist or album was not set
* Restart automatically on crash
* Handle usernames with spaces and other special characters

Buffering indicator, love/ban/skip buttons, and now the volume slider on the bottom actually works too.

I just have to make the love / ban buttons actually do something, and make the scrobbler scrobble songs you listen to through the radio stream, and then I should be done with the streaming part of MobileScrobbler and can focus on finishing up the rest of it.

You can now start listening to a Last.FM recommendation radio stream by tag or by artist:

I still have to add a button to play your personal recommendations, scrobble tracks that you listen to from the radio, and get the love / ban / skip buttons hooked up on the radio player view.

I’ve got the radio streaming hooked up to the Now Playing UI:

I still need to add a way to select a station to listen to, and make it scrobble the radio tracks as you listen to them. Hopefully I’ll have everything completed this weekend.

It took me almost all night but I got Last.FM radio streams to play through MobileScrobbler! There’s no user interface yet so no screenshots, maybe I’ll have some ready tonight.

Work is gonna suck on 3 hours of sleep though.

One of the nicest features of the Last.FM desktop client is the artist info / track info that is displayed as you listen to your music.

Soon it will be available from within MobileScrobbler:

It should be finished and available in a few days!
