Enable vinyl scrobbling using discogs
Despite all the great music on my hard drive and out there on the web, I'm keeping a nice vinyl record collection. And sometimes I would just love to scrobble my played vinyl tracks to last.fm, too.
I'm also using discogs to keep a list of all my non-mp3 music. How about an add-on that integrates all these tracks into my songbird library using the discogs api? When I "play" one of those in songbird, it would of course just keep silent, but scrobble it to last.fm.
This might sound a bit weird, but hey, it is another step to get all my music into my songbird library..

Inappropriate?That is a kind of weird idea :) I don't think we'll ever implement it - we're focussed on playing the music you've got on your computer. If discogs has an API it should be too hard (or at least it should be possible) to build a web service that scrobbles based on your discogs library.
Oh, but there's one thing - I don't think that last.fm supports vinyl-style track numbers (A1, A2, etc) - it (like Songbird actually) expects a track number to just be a number.
The company thinks
this is one of the best points

Inappropriate?Thank you for your comment.
I know that things like this will never be part of songbird's core functionality. And I wasn't really expecting the team to program this, there are still loads of other things to do.
Of course it should not be too difficult to mash up discogs' and last.fm's APIs to do what I want. I just liked the idea of using songbird's present infrastructure for searching and scrobbling tracks from the library.
And who knows how far the guys at last.fm will take their audio fingerprinting. One day we will have a tool that scrobbles all recognized tracks, no matter if they have metadata or not, coming from webstreams, Mix MP3s or an analog audio input..
I’m still feeling innovative
