Last.fm for Android

[wyndslash]

does anyone use this app? It also serves to scrobble the songs you play on your device.

I'm just wondering, to those who use this and/or are familiar with it, does it also scrobble the songs that are played from amazon cloud player and/or google cloud drive?

Thanks

What is "scropple"? This made up word isn't on Dictionary.com.

I'm as confused as the white cat...

From the site "NetLingo" (http://www.netlingo.com/word/scrobble.php)
Scrobble:
a.k.a. scrobbling Part of the appeal of Web 2.0 is to find other people who share similar interests, herin lies the meaning of "scrobbling." To "scrobble" a song means that when you listen to it, the name of the song is sent to a Web site (for example, Last.fm) and added to your music profile. Here's how it works: Once you've signed up and downloaded Last.fm, you can scrobble songs you listen to on your computer or iPod automatically. As a social network, once you start scrobbling yourself, you can see what artists you really listen to the most, view your listening habits on your profile page, and allow others to see your tastes in music. Companies (such as Last.fm) use this data to organize and recommend music to people, to create personalized radio stations, and to see what other users listened to the most.

Confused no more!

In reality, NetLingo is a site of made up words made by those who are still living in their parent's basement instead of off on their own living a real life.

Yes, I like having a source to de-mystify my daughters' vocabulary and that doesn't laugh at me when I ask "what does that mean? "

[wyndslash]

last.fm is a music/radio community, and the scrobbler is simply an app that tracks what you're listening to

It also has a far different meaning, for some folks anyway.

Pretty sure there are more that use my definition than yours...although I'm not sure how many would actually admit to doing what is in yours.
Now I'm confused again....

Actually, that is not "my" definition, not by a long shot. I did not know what the term meant so I used the Yahoo search engine to search for a definition. Since I did not think that "scrobbler" was in Webster's I picked the first slang dictionary definition that caught my eye, and got a surprise.
