One more reason to f$*#ing love the SqueezeBox

While the squeezebox is brilliant on it's own for loosing the chains of the computer and enabling simple music streaming (from the internet or mp3 collection) to any room in the house, it is even more incredible when you can stream the intelligent services of Last.fm (and scrobble back).  The slimserver came preloaded with Last.fm scrobbling, but (for me at least), not Last.fm playback.  A little looking on IntyWeb and we're cooking with petrol.

It's pretty simple to install the plugin and get going (if you have a squeezebox and slimserver already... obviously).

1. Download the SqueezeScrobbler
2. Expand the zip and move the entire folder into the Plugin Directory of the SlimServer (System/Library/PreferencePanes is where mine was)
3. Restart SlimServer
4. Put in your username and password from Last.fm
5. Giver Shiver

Notice from the pics that it publishes (if you want) the songs you've played back to Last.fm.  You can also vote your LOVE or HATE back to Last.fm from your SqueezeBox.

Awesome.
