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!
Congrats and thanks.
Beautiful, Anthony. So psyched to see this kind of interoperability. Well done.
That’s excellent news to combine both coolest sites about music.
yayayayay!
Thanks so much guys! You just made my day 🙂
Yes yes yes yes these are the kind of actions that take us another step further.
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.
OMG this is exactly what I wanted!
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.
Nevermind my previous comment, looks like Hype Machine is already getting some Last.fm link-love: http://build.last.fm/item/222
THANK. CHRIST.
Well done, all.
This is great; hopefully you will be able to use last.fm with rhapsody or napster soon 🙂
Holy crap, just what I always wanted from HypeM, but I never thought it was possible. Thanks a ton, folks!
OMG !!! i love it !!!
Ah lovely! I’ve wanted this since I registered 🙂
Bravo! See you at the group for The Hype Machine on Last.FM
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?
Matt – Thanks for the heads up, the scrobbling was not correctly functioning in the popup player.
bravo…
Fantastic. I will now be on Hype Machine a lot more.
chalk another one up for the good guys.
*drool*
This makes me happy inside
Another reason to use the Hype Machine I guess.
Delicious!
great! this will get me to use my last.fm account again!
Yes, I love hypem!
Amazing!
thankyou! this is such a great feature, looking forward to using it 🙂
FINALLY!!! thanks guys!!
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!
This is awesome, and I agree with your statement about the internet working together!
The hype machine should release an API!
Genius!!
“services playing with each other” – how very sexy, of you Hype Machine!
& nice one on the scrobbles : )
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! 😀
Fanastic! Great job!!
Great work! This music web thing is starting to come together.
Awesome!!!! I was just hoping for this last week, glad to see it =)
Great!
How did you know I always had last fm opened at the same time?
Wicked Awesome Work, HypeM – Merci buckets!!!
Hi, I can’t get this to work. Is it broken or am I being a fool.. can’t wait to try it out
i love you. please make a application on facebook too =)
Does this not work with live radio? Or am I just doing something wrong. 🙁
Ah, it’s only for the bottom player. Still incredibly cool, thanks Hype Machine!
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!
YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Thanks and and i can’t wait to see what’s next with all this great work
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
does it scrobble off zune software?
[…] 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 […]
It’s a shame, I don’t put my pass here. Can you give me a garanty with this process ?
Sweeet!
Okay, just subscribed =)
Sounds great! 🙂
All my dreams – fulfilled
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!
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!
For those anal people who dont want to play any music without it being “documented” this changes everything, awesome innovation.
I love this. Let’s have all the sites play together nicely – Last.fm/Scrobbler + Hypem + Favtape + Seeqpod + etc etc etc 🙂
Wonderful
how long does it take to scrobble it? the whole song?
Yeah, how long does it take?
Awesome feature, though!:D
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 🙂
it’s not working anymore 🙁
it works for 3 times and then …
why it’s not working anymore? 🙁
awesome, hopefully it works, im reading some none fun stuff up there
great…! verry awesome
verry awesome and fabulous…!
It is not working !!!!! :'( why why why?
Best thing since sliced bead! TD x
It seems scrobbling is not working today? Help!
Not working for me since Sept, 18… please fix it! Thank you (:
Not working for me either :/
NO news on this getting fixed?
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.
what is hype machine for? spanish please
gaaah!! please fix the scrobbling, not working right now.. 🙁
still shit don’t work
This site has increased my quality of life! Yehaw!
sick!!! now i can listen to hype on my xbox!
how can i download that stuff?
Why isn’t scrobbling working?!?!? :'(
Yey, now it is working again 🙂
I followed the “go to the homepage” link and I couldn’t see “Settings” anywhere in the black toolbar 🙁
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.
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?
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.)

@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. ??]
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.
[…] 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 […]
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
My scrobbling isn’t working period. 3 songs and no plays. Not even on my HypeM accounts!
My scrobbling is broken too! When will it be back up?
it aint working! bummer.
My scrobling doesn’t work to, please help!
no scrobbling happening on my end either. Did last.fm close the door?
Scrobbling isn’t working for me as well.
same for me, since some weeks now scrobbling ain’t working
it aint working Y_Y
Also not working for me. :/
Is not working for me at this moment =(
my scrobbling isn’t working either! Either on last fm or my listened tracks on hype machine…I definitely have my last fm username and password all entered and scrobbling enabled…is there anything else I need to do?
Just signed up for hypem.com today. Loving it.
but last.fm scrobbling is broken for me too.
what is going onnn?! this is killing my soul that there i so much music and so little (actually none) scrobbling happening
Also not working for me 🙁
Has anyone heard back?! someone help!!
scrobbling not working for!!! I wouldn’t mind some help…
scrobbling not working. it worked for like 1-2 days and then suddenly stopped.. hasn’t scrobbled ever since. what’s up with that?
Same here. On the first day after signing up it scrobbled perfectly, then stopped and havn’t scrobbled since, fix this, please!
It’s not working at this moment. Or even yesterday.
not working not working
Not working.. For me, never has by the way.
notttt scrobbling. hasn’t scrobbled at all since i set up my hype machine account :/
will this be fixed??
It’s not working!! 🙁
still not working
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. : (
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.
Fajna muza ;d Lubiee taka nuteeee
but scrobbling does not work.
scrobbling doesn’t work!
now it’s scrobbling 🙂
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.
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
Scrobbling from Hype Machine also isn’t working for me since the new design came into play. D:
my scrobbling isnt working! 🙁 any ideas>?
Scrobbling is now back on after our site update. If you are still having problems, please write to http://hypem.com/contact
Enjoy!
