Description

Hi,

A number of my plays are not being detected. What are the limits of your program, in terms of what it submits and doesn't, or is this entirely based on the iPod itself? If that is the case, what counts as a 'play on the ipod? I have been listening to songs over two minutes, but less than 3, which have not been recorded, as they have not been detected by your program.

Can you help tell me / figure out why this is the case?

Thanks, Michael

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to worksforme.

This behavior is controlled by the iPod, not LastPod. The iPod creates a file called "Play Counts", which stores this information. LastPod simply reads it from the file and allows you to submit to Last.fm.

I believe you have to listen to the end of the song for the iPod to register is as a play. (or you could fast forward until you have like 5 seconds left and let the song play out).

I'm not sure of the official behavior, but there may be some good information here: http://www.ipodlinux.org/ITunesDB
