Dang it's been a while lol...

[TwistedElegance™]

^ Me too.

[TwistedElegance™]

[RedSimba]

Very unusual top 8 for me as there's no Janet (or Mariah). But I'm just taking a break from them; they always bounce back.

[TwistedElegance™]

I love the new Scrobbler!

[TwistedElegance™]

And now that I've installed it my iPod won't scrobble.

[bu.]

It's really temperamental with me. yesterday I plugged my ipod in and it scrobbled straight away. Whereas for the previous 7 months I've had to do it manually

[TwistedElegance™]

I've had hassles for over a year now. I pretty much have to do it manually every time but even that won't work now.

[RedSimba]

Oh yeah, I really like the new scrobbler design ~ it was a bit buggy at first, but I think with the latest update it's working okay now.

[RedSimba]

Also, I love that scrobbles are sorted by the "album artist" now. This should make stats much cleaner all around

[TwistedElegance™]

[Bailey]

I never used this before

[RedSimba]

[RedSimba]

Wow all B&W, this never happened before

[RedSimba]

[Rock & Roll Hall of Game]

mine hasn't updated... it says i listened to Janet 4 times in the past week

[TwistedElegance™]

[Rock & Roll Hall of Game]

Ugh.. idk how MJ slipped on there.. shuffle

[RedSimba]

Ugh.. idk how MJ slipped on there.. shuffle

Cuz his impact knows no bounds
