Last.fm comes to the N800

I was just checking out some of my regular N800 haunts when I came across a new application which is being created called Vagalume, a Last.fm player for the N800 / N810. Funnily enough I was talking with a few friends on the weekend about Last.fm and I was wishing I had a mobile version.

Now, the application is still in development but Alberto Garcia the applications developer is primarily working on getting the protocol right but has released and early version for us all to check out:



Current Features

  • It plays Last.fm radio streams (using the Last.fm protocol v1.2)
  • You can select any radio (Personal, Neighbours, Loved Tracks …, or any arbitrary URL)
  • It implements the Audioscrobbler Realtime Submission Protocol v1.2, specifically:
    • It sends Now Playing information
    • It scrobbles tracks (so you’ll see what you’ve been listening to in your profile).
  • It is stable, I’m using it everyday and I haven’t experienced hangs or other strange behaviours so far.
  • It’s small (the binary is less than 50K).
Download the application and test it out, I’m sure Alberto would love some feedback.
