My Countdown - Last FM X MySTrands
By Joséli Costa Jantsch
Hi Everybody!!!
Seven days ago, I told you about my concerns about Mystrands' scrobbling tool...Well, to prove my teory I decided to spend some of my free time, on this week, doing the countdown of the tracks and artist which are not at all scrobbled by Mystrands.
The Countdown from July 5 till August 13 is:
1. Alice Cooper with Axl Rose et all – Under My Wheels
2. Amilcare Ponchielli – Dance of the Hours From La Gioconda - wma
3. Axl Rose – November rain acoustic – mp3
4. Cazuza e Renato Russo – Quando Eu Estiver Cantando – mp3
5. Creedence Clearwater Revival – Mustang Sally - mp3
6. Creedence Clearwater Revival – Rollin' on the River - mp3
7. DramaGods –all songs - mp3
8. Dream Theater – Flight of the Bumble Bee (John Petrucci) – mp3
9. Dream Theater – Guitar Solo –mp3
10. Dream Theater – The Big Medley - mp3
11. Edvard Grieg – A Manhã De Peer Gynt– wma.
12. Extreme – Cry Baby - Mutha –mp3
13. Extreme – Fair Weather Faith –mp3
14. Extreme – It ('s a Monster) –mp3
15. Extreme – Love of my life (queen cover) – mp3
16. Extreme – Monica – mp3
17. Extreme – Never Been Funked - mp3
18. Extreme – Nice Place To Visit – mp3
19. Extreme – Sex 'n Love – mp3
(...and many more artists, the rest of this article can be found at my page)
* As you are able to see, there are files in wma and mp3, so the problem is not linked with that (Yeah, I was already told that wave files are not scrobbled). So, the only possible explanation for that is tha data bank of Mystrands is not so good as the one of Last fm, which accepts all the songs files that we listen.
* Ah, and before finishing here, I must say that Mystrands scroobling tool has one more little problem, it only scrobbles the songs when we listen them entirely. This not happens at Last fm, in which we have a minimun listenning time for the songs be scrobbled, much better!!! (specially if you want to do the countdown of the songs listened out of your computer, for sure, at least, it saves a lot of time).
* By the way, the only improvement that Last fm might do (for yesterday),hehehe, in my humble opinion, is the disposal of a music recomendation tool like the one that MySTrands has.
* I think till the end of this week I will be able to announce my 2nd countdown)
