Some of the benefits of having a Hype Machine user account are cool new ways to share the music you discover.
Connect your account to Twitter and the machine will auto-tweet your favorite songs, bands and blogs. Connect to Last.fm and you’ll be able to keep track of everything you listen to on your Last.fm profile! Here’s how:
Connect to Twitter
Step 1: After you are logged in, hover on Dashboard, then click on “settings”
Step 2: Click on the Twitter tab and fill in your Twitter username and password. Then check the boxes if you want songs, blogs, searches and friends automatically tweeted.
Step 3: When you favorite something on the Hype Machine, it will automatically be posted to your Twitter account!
Connect to Last.fm
Step 1: After you are logged in, hover on Dashboard, then click on “settings”
Step 2: Click on the Last.fm tab and fill in your Last.fm username and password and make sure the scrobbling box is checked.
Step 3: Songs will automatically show up on your Last.fm profile page!

Can’t you use Oauth for Twitter? It’s a bit uncomfortable to give the login combo to you.

James - we are about to migrate to Oauth in the next week or so. This feature has been available long before Oauth support was enabled and so we only have a chance to migrate to it recently.

不错哦！喜欢last.fm那个，不过Twitter被墙，连不上，~~~~(>_<)~~~~

Yeah, so step one doesn’t happen for me (tried firefox and chrome)
The drop down bar just has loved songs. (screenshot: http://tinypic.com/r/r8uq3d/3)
Gah, hype machine is taunting me every time it tells me i can edit my profile/have last.fm/twitter connectivity by going in to settings, and I can’t. Damn you drop down bar.
Damn.
You.

Any word on porting this to oauth? I seriously am not giving out my account details and I honestly think it’s a bad idea for any responsible programmer to encourage this sort of behavior. The web has to settle on some sort of credential sharing system, and it looks like oauth is that system.
All that said I want to tweet from hypem seamlessly, so c’mon c’mon.

Last FM scrobble doesn’t work for me! It doesn’t say what I’m listening to or show any songs on my Last FM page. What’s up!?
August 25, 2009 @ 9:57 am
Nothing happen when I hover. Is it because of Google Chrome ?
August 25, 2009 @ 8:21 pm
nope…. scrobbling not working
September 1, 2009 @ 11:15 am
last.fm scrobbles haven’t been working for a while. have logged out and logged back in of hypem, and done the same for the last.fm settings tab. nothing.

Thank you for a great feature. Like other users, however, I have encountered a problem: sometimes scrobbles and tweets don’t work (it can be for a day or a week). I’ve noticed that when a song I listen to isn’t scrobbled, it doesn’t appear in my “Listening History” either. Hope this helps you fix the problems. Keep up the great work.
Thanks.

why can’t I go into “settings”? nothing happens when I hover “dashboard”.
October 22, 2009 @ 3:04 am
Yeah, same problem, when I hover over my dashboard, and try to sync my Tweets, I don’t get a drop down menu, like the screenshot in step one suggests. I’ve tried to on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and IE 8. Is there a different way to do this, or is it broken?
