Last.fm Scrobbler won't recognize WMP 12

[andythecurefan]

I installed the Last.fm Scrobbler from Last.fm, it searched for my currently installed media players and found WMP and installed the plug-in for it. It's supposed to grab the info of the song I'm playing and post it to my profile, doesn't seem to be working with this version of WMP I guess. I have found a way around it using another media player, if you install WinAmp on Win 7 and then install the WinAmp plug-in on Last.fm Scrobbler it will scrobble your tracks.

Has anyone gotten it to work for WMP? I'm using Win 7 Beta 1 Build 7022 at the moment, but it was also doing this in Build 7000.

hmm....I used Last.fm on my laptop...whit Windows 7 beta...and it works fine...I have WMP, iTunes and Real Player installed...and it recognise all 3 when I installed it. If I where you I'd try to install a other media player and see if it works. It really dosn't matter wich you use as long as it works...

...and I use last.fm EVERY day...need that stuff!

I looked at the link and didn't find the answer. Anyway, It happened to me previously and this is how I have "fixed" it.

1. In WMP12, switch to Library view.
2. Right click anywhere on the "top" (menu) area or on the controls area and select Tools --> Plug-ins --> Last.fm plugin.
3. Your last.fm plugin should now launch (on your system tray/notification area).

i'll definitely give this a try, thanks guys. And i kept the link because the mod pretty much says that Win 7 isn't supported. The link isn't a fix, just someone from Last.fm saying it won't work.

never got around to telling everyone that it worked thanks to what kwxvii said. Thanks.

No problem...glad to be of help...though, there are some "issues" about last.fm scrobbling because of this article from techcrunch...which last.fm denied.
