▼21.03.2008: this is LIVE, but in testing status. please report successes with this API :)
Audioscrobbler has a widely-supported API that lets users tell which track they are currently listening to.
We are planning to support the same API to make it really easy for developers to send data to both last.fm and jamendo.
Differences between scrobbling to last.fm and to jamendo
- The endpoint obviously changes, you should send your handshake requests to postaudioscrobbler.jamendo.com instead of post.audioscrobbler.com :
http://postaudioscrobbler.jamendo.com/?hs=true&p=<protocol-version>&c=<client-id>&v=<client-ver>&...
- We currently support the 1.2 and 1.1 versions of the protocol.
- If you know the JamendoTrackId of the track you are playing (via an ID3 or vorbiscomment tag), you should include it in the reporting. There are 2 ways to do it :
- Set the musicbrainzid parameter to jamendo.com/track/XXX where XXX is the numeric trackId. This is the easy method as it doesn't require you to add a parameter.
- Add a jamendotrackid POST parameter in the "nowplaying" or "submission" requests.
