The last 10 songs I listened to, that comes from last.fm a free music service that tracks the music you play and is able to do many things. It has an online radio portion to it that many people swear by, even over Pandora. However, my favorite part is that by tracking your songs it is able to give you recommendations based on what other people listening to the same music also like.
Since apps can’t be run in the background on a non jailbroken device, the only way you are able to ‘scrobble’ a track is by using the official Last.fm app which is limited to playing the online radio stations. Scrobbl runs in the background all of the time, and scrobbles my tracks even when I’m on the road and playing music in my car.
Check back for part 3, or you can just check the main post because I’ll be adding them all to it.
