The Hype Machine team are long time Last.FM users (and fans!). We also listen to a lot of music on the Hype Machine, so why not have that music show up on your Last.FM profile? I, for one, always wonder, if I heard a song but it didn’t get scrobbled, did I really listen to it?
Well now you can!
Just go to the homepage and then click “Settings” in the black toolbar. Once you enter your user/pass, just go back to enjoying music on the Hype Machine. All your tracks will be scrobbled to your Last.FM profile page.
While we’re on a roll, we’ve also set up a group for the Hype Machine on Last.FM so you can connect with other Last.FM users and share your HypeM profiles.
This is how music on the web should work, services playing with each other to create meaningful awesomeness 🙂
UPDATE 2008/03/13: Scrobbling is once again operational!
excellent!
February 27, 2008 12:27 pm
Congrats and thanks.
February 27, 2008 12:37 pm
Beautiful, Anthony. So psyched to see this kind of interoperability. Well done.
February 27, 2008 12:55 pm
That’s excellent news to combine both coolest sites about music.
February 27, 2008 3:32 pm
yayayayay!
February 27, 2008 3:54 pm
Thanks so much guys! You just made my day 🙂
February 27, 2008 6:48 pm
Yes yes yes yes these are the kind of actions that take us another step further.
February 27, 2008 7:35 pm
Good job, this is a nice step in the right direction. Hopefully this will lead to even better features of HypeM in the future. For instance I would like to see a feature that recommends me blogs, blogposts or individual songs on my dashboard, based on my last.fm profile.
February 28, 2008 8:09 am
OMG this is exactly what I wanted!
February 28, 2008 8:17 am
As I commented on Fred Wilson’s blog when he posted the news, this is freakin’ awesome. As if we needed another reason to love Hype Machine, here you go.
I assume Last.fm’s user base is larger than yours and this announcement is going to appeal to people who already use both services, any chance you can work w/ Last.fm to drive some traffic your way? I understand they offer music discovery & listening too but HM does it in a different (and I think better) way and your services complement, rather than compete, with one another.
February 28, 2008 10:05 am
Nevermind my previous comment, looks like Hype Machine is already getting some Last.fm link-love: http://build.last.fm/item/222
February 28, 2008 1:32 pm
THANK. CHRIST.
Well done, all.
February 28, 2008 9:14 pm
This is great; hopefully you will be able to use last.fm with rhapsody or napster soon 🙂
February 29, 2008 11:07 am
Holy crap, just what I always wanted from HypeM, but I never thought it was possible. Thanks a ton, folks!
February 29, 2008 12:16 pm
OMG !!! i love it !!!
February 29, 2008 2:00 pm
Ah lovely! I’ve wanted this since I registered 🙂
February 29, 2008 5:49 pm
Bravo! See you at the group for The Hype Machine on Last.FM
March 1, 2008 7:18 pm
This is awesome – however it only seems to work with the player at the bottom of the screen, is there a problem with the popup player?
March 2, 2008 1:21 pm
Matt – Thanks for the heads up, the scrobbling was not correctly functioning in the popup player.
March 3, 2008 2:16 am
bravo…
March 3, 2008 6:40 am
Fantastic. I will now be on Hype Machine a lot more.
March 4, 2008 8:05 am
chalk another one up for the good guys.
March 4, 2008 12:47 pm
*drool*
This makes me happy inside
March 7, 2008 10:45 am
Another reason to use the Hype Machine I guess.
Delicious!
March 7, 2008 11:00 am
great! this will get me to use my last.fm account again!
March 9, 2008 10:44 am
Yes, I love hypem!
March 10, 2008 8:54 pm
Amazing!
March 14, 2008 10:09 am
thankyou! this is such a great feature, looking forward to using it 🙂
March 14, 2008 7:19 pm
FINALLY!!! thanks guys!!
March 15, 2008 4:37 pm
This is AWESOME! I was considering not using the Hype Machine because it didn’t allow me to record / export the songs I’ve listened to, which I try to aggregate and archive through ReIntegrate.Us. Awesome work Hype People!
March 18, 2008 1:53 pm
This is awesome, and I agree with your statement about the internet working together!
The hype machine should release an API!
March 19, 2008 10:00 am
Genius!!
March 21, 2008 12:01 pm
“services playing with each other” – how very sexy, of you Hype Machine!
& nice one on the scrobbles : )
March 22, 2008 7:45 pm
I just registered and thought that it would be so awesome if this site had last.fm scrobbling available. And it actually did! So awesome, thanks a lot guys! 😀
March 23, 2008 8:02 am
Fanastic! Great job!!
March 27, 2008 4:51 am
Great work! This music web thing is starting to come together.
March 27, 2008 1:10 pm
Awesome!!!! I was just hoping for this last week, glad to see it =)
March 27, 2008 3:24 pm
Great!
How did you know I always had last fm opened at the same time?
Wicked Awesome Work, HypeM – Merci buckets!!!
April 3, 2008 3:52 am
Hi, I can’t get this to work. Is it broken or am I being a fool.. can’t wait to try it out
April 21, 2008 5:24 am
i love you. please make a application on facebook too =)
May 25, 2008 11:54 am
Does this not work with live radio? Or am I just doing something wrong. 🙁
July 5, 2008 6:51 pm
Ah, it’s only for the bottom player. Still incredibly cool, thanks Hype Machine!
July 5, 2008 6:56 pm
NICE! I always thought that I was being misrepresented on last.fm bc I listen to The Hype Machine at work! Now all is right with the world. Thanks!
August 5, 2008 9:46 am
YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
August 26, 2008 1:23 pm
Thanks and and i can’t wait to see what’s next with all this great work
September 1, 2008 7:48 am
This is tops! I use both and love them and now they’re finally communicating with each other. “It’s like a dream, a dream within a dream..” ;p
September 2, 2008 10:05 pm
does it scrobble off zune software?
September 10, 2008 6:18 pm
[…] blog aggregator The Hype Machine and social music tracker last.fm have joined forces to allow you to record the songs you listen to with Hype Machines radio player to your last.fm […]
September 13, 2008 8:56 pm
It’s a shame, I don’t put my pass here. Can you give me a garanty with this process ?
October 1, 2008 12:09 am
Sweeet!
October 5, 2008 9:36 pm
Okay, just subscribed =)
October 31, 2008 3:21 pm
Sounds great! 🙂
December 13, 2008 3:46 pm
All my dreams – fulfilled
December 15, 2008 6:43 pm
I love you!
Recently dicsovered that if I love a track in Hype Machine, I love it on last.fm. That is awesome!
I mean it, I really love you!
December 30, 2008 5:15 pm
Hey guys, this feature doesn’t seem to be working. I’m listening through songbird, and also just on the site its self and it doesn’t seem to be scrobbling my music. Awesome feature though!
January 8, 2009 3:17 pm
For those anal people who dont want to play any music without it being “documented” this changes everything, awesome innovation.
January 23, 2009 11:12 am
I love this. Let’s have all the sites play together nicely – Last.fm/Scrobbler + Hypem + Favtape + Seeqpod + etc etc etc 🙂
February 20, 2009 7:00 pm
Wonderful
February 25, 2009 1:37 pm
how long does it take to scrobble it? the whole song?
February 26, 2009 8:41 am
Yeah, how long does it take?
Awesome feature, though!:D
March 2, 2009 10:44 am
That’s what I’m curious about too… I’ve listened to 3 full songs already through Hypemachine, and untill now, none got scrobbled
If it does what it promises to do, it’s a wonderful feature though 🙂
March 6, 2009 6:33 am
it’s not working anymore 🙁
it works for 3 times and then …
March 17, 2009 1:11 pm
why it’s not working anymore? 🙁
May 1, 2009 4:27 pm
awesome, hopefully it works, im reading some none fun stuff up there
May 10, 2009 2:15 pm
great…! verry awesome
June 27, 2009 3:30 am
verry awesome and fabulous…!
June 27, 2009 3:31 am
It is not working !!!!! :'( why why why?
July 15, 2009 4:15 pm
Best thing since sliced bead! TD x
August 11, 2009 8:03 pm
It seems scrobbling is not working today? Help!
August 25, 2009 2:41 pm
Not working for me since Sept, 18… please fix it! Thank you (:
September 30, 2009 3:58 am
Not working for me either :/
October 7, 2009 9:16 pm
NO news on this getting fixed?
October 21, 2009 12:14 am
Broken for me as well. Disabled/re-enabled several times. I hesitate to sound ungrateful in any way–‘cuz hypem is jawesome–but the last.fm API is really freaking easy to work with, fellas.
November 25, 2009 3:03 am
what is hype machine for? spanish please
November 30, 2009 6:32 pm
gaaah!! please fix the scrobbling, not working right now.. 🙁
December 8, 2009 9:35 pm
still shit don’t work
January 16, 2010 4:38 pm
This site has increased my quality of life! Yehaw!
January 31, 2010 2:07 pm
sick!!! now i can listen to hype on my xbox!
February 10, 2010 9:36 am
how can i download that stuff?
February 11, 2010 10:49 am
Why isn’t scrobbling working?!?!? :'(
March 8, 2010 10:22 pm
Yey, now it is working again 🙂
March 8, 2010 11:32 pm
I followed the “go to the homepage” link and I couldn’t see “Settings” anywhere in the black toolbar 🙁
April 14, 2010 7:57 am
I’m new around here at this internet stuff and Hyper Machine sound like a good deal plus you can connect 2 other websites,right? That’s cool.
May 4, 2010 12:52 am
I would have like to use my last.fm account data (via OpenID or something) on this page.
Or better (for me, not you): You keep a iFrame with my last.fm account open during my session, and you scrobble via that. So I just do the logging in when I want to.
btw. Why did I give you my last.fm password. Isn’t OAuth for that. Is last.fm lagging OAuth support?
May 9, 2010 3:52 pm
And now that I have an account with hypem.fm: Why doesn’t it work on this blog.
(Okay, I take that back, actually I like your anonymous commenting much better – even though I chose to use my user name as alias. – but it was my choice.)
May 9, 2010 3:53 pm
“Liesel says
I followed the “go to the homepage” link and I couldn’t see “Settings” anywhere in the black toolbar
April 14, 2010 @ 7:57 am”
@Liesel:
The Settings are now under “Dashboard”. But the Dashboard drop down menu only works on http://www.hypem.com and not on blog.hypem.com (at least in Chrome).
[Oh, is all of this my problem. Do I forbid blog.hypem.com to you the cookie of hypem.com. Maybe. But it works on all the other sites. ??]
May 9, 2010 3:57 pm
How can I mark as link from last.fm to HypeM either on last.fm or on last.fm as wrong.
I just went to Ke$sha Tik Tok on last.fm. When I clicked the link to listen the song on HypeM I get to the song K# by K#.
I think there should be a button either on last.fm or on hypem to report this.
May 9, 2010 5:03 pm
[…] 600 scrobblers created by people other than us, covering popular online services like Spotify and The Hype Machine, hardware devices like the Onkyo TX-NR807 and the Logitech Squeezebox, as well as online storage […]
May 11, 2010 6:11 pm
I am having recurring issues in scrobbling tunes that listen in hype machine into my last.fm account.
My username in both places is Depa1969
Could please someone help me? Thanks
May 21, 2010 8:51 pm
My scrobbling isn’t working period. 3 songs and no plays. Not even on my HypeM accounts!

June 3, 2010 2:34 pm
Scrobbling isn’t working for me as well.
June 4, 2010 10:00 am

September 5, 2010 12:27 pm

September 15, 2010 11:15 pm

September 16, 2010 1:05 am
It’s not working!! 🙁
September 29, 2010 7:58 pm
still not working
October 7, 2010 11:41 am
It should at the very least be able to work with one of the biggest social music networking sites, last.fm. Seems HypeMachine isn’t interested in what was a selling point feature, scrobbling, as they have neglected to fix it and/or abandoned it completely. Too bad, will check out alternatives. : (
October 11, 2010 11:25 am
I set up the scrobbling linkup with Last.fm and was going to be on this site every day, all the time, but it stopped working after a day. It would be rad if this could get fixed. That’s all I’m sayin.
October 24, 2010 11:07 am
Fajna muza ;d Lubiee taka nuteeee
November 11, 2010 3:38 pm
but scrobbling does not work.
December 2, 2010 9:48 pm
scrobbling doesn’t work!
December 9, 2010 9:20 pm
now it’s scrobbling 🙂
December 9, 2010 9:22 pm
Hype machine was able to create a fab new design for the site, but wasn’t able to fix the most important problem of all- SCROBBLING. Hasn’t been working for 2 months now.
December 17, 2010 10:54 pm
Sorry but i have problems with this application, becouse since the new change in the page, it don`t show the last track on my Last.FM profile page. =( , i check that it`s registered fine, but don`t allow the scrobbled .. Help! :S
December 18, 2010 2:37 pm
Scrobbling from Hype Machine also isn’t working for me since the new design came into play. D:
December 20, 2010 2:53 pm
my scrobbling isnt working! 🙁 any ideas>?
December 20, 2010 7:24 pm
Scrobbling is now back on after our site update. If you are still having problems, please write to http://hypem.com/contact
Enjoy!
