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. 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:
Step 1: After you are logged in, hover over My Profile, then click on Settings.
Step 2: Click the External Services tab and sign in to your Twitter or Last.fm account. We use OAuth for authentication, so you do not need to enter a password. Do make sure you’ve checked the “Enable” box for each service you want to use, and click Save.
Step 3: You’re done! The Hype Machine will now automatically post tracks you’ve loved to Twitter, and track songs you’ve listened to on your Last.fm profile.
Good show, sport!

July 15, 2009 8:16 pm

July 16, 2009 4:23 am
last.fm scrobbling not workin’ 🙁
July 16, 2009 10:30 am
Last FM scrobbling now working this week.
July 16, 2009 2:56 pm
It does not generate tweets for me 🙁
July 16, 2009 7:32 pm
Heyyy, scrobbling and tweets are fully back on now for everyone!
July 17, 2009 3:31 am
🙁 my tweets aren’t working. is there any lag in how soon it shows up to one’s twitter? also last.fm not working for me still..
July 17, 2009 6:32 pm
Can’t you use Oauth for Twitter? It’s a bit uncomfortable to give the login combo to you.
July 20, 2009 10:44 am
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.
July 20, 2009 11:08 am
不错哦！喜欢last.fm那个，不过Twitter被墙，连不上，~~~~(>_<)~~~~
August 3, 2009 11:58 am
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.
August 19, 2009 8:41 am
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.
September 25, 2009 10:28 pm
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?
October 22, 2009 12:06 pm
one of the most cool things I’ve seen lately!
December 19, 2009 5:10 pm

November 12, 2010 1:59 pm
Last.fm scrobbling has not been working since the hype machine revamp. 🙁
December 20, 2010 5:04 am
I thought that it would sync my favorite Last.fm artists with the artists I want to to follow on hypeMachine… That would be far more usefull!
January 18, 2011 4:16 pm
This isn’t working for me either (the last.fm one — didn’t try the twitter). 🙁 I hope you guys find a fix soon cause I’d really like to use the scrobbler on here.
March 5, 2011 5:46 pm
that’s a genius idea to connect Hype Machine with LastFM! love it!

November 21, 2011 11:35 am
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I filled out a survey suggesting this years ago, I’m happy you finally came to. I’m a long time user, back to when elbo.ws was actually decent competition. I knew I could count on you guys eventually!
December 26, 2011 10:11 pm
Scrobbler works pretty much neat on Firefox. Maske sure accounts are connected under settings and wait until the song finishes. Great work with the integration guys 🙂
December 27, 2011 4:25 am
