Scrapescobbler is a tool to submit tracks you're listening to on an old-fashioned radio station to last.fm.
Many radio stations offer almost real-time playlists online. For those of us who still listen to them, scrapescrobbler will submit the tracks as they are publised by the station to your last.fm feed. Start up scrapescrobbler when your radio is on, and scrobble away.
RubyGems is the preferred method of installation:
$ [sudo] gem install scrapescrobbler
Whenever you're listening to the radio, run scrapescrobbler with the name of the station:
$ scrapes listen wyep
The station must be in the list of supported stations. To see a list of available stations, try this:
$ scrapes stations
Before using scrapescrobbler, you must authenticate it with your Last.fm
account. Running the listen command will warn you that you are not
authenticated and spit out a URL - visit that and give scrapescrobbler the
go-ahead, and things should work fine. If you need to re-authenticate for any
reason, just run:
$ scrapes authenticate
