Last.fm not adding album plays

 
  • Last.fm not adding album plays

    Well, not all of them anyway..

    Here you can see that i've been listening to this album quite a lot..
    http://www.last.fm/user/The%20Creed/library/music/Porcupine+Tree/Fear+of+a+Blank+Planet

    But still, in total it's only at 139 plays.. what could be the problem? This hasn't happened with any other albums. (and yes, it's tagged right)
  • What tracks aren't being attributed to the album?

    Remember that you correctly tagging the track isn't the only factor. The artist, track, and albums need to match last.fm exactly, or the album won't be scrobbled. So if last.fm's data is wrong than none of your tracks will scrobble as being part of that album. So only the 6 tracks on the album page will work if they are perfect. I'm not sure how you got the other 4 tracks to show in the library but they could be old data. The fact that they have one track each point to the fact that getting in there was a fluke to begin with.

    Even if the album doesn't count (if last.fm has data incorrect to yours) they will still count for that track and artist; and the album data is logged for correcting when the database is able to use it because last.fm will create a track or album if it's missing in the database. But an album has to be manually added or imported and thus they only match if all three fields are identical to last.fm's data.
    All comments reflect the views of the poster and not of last.fm or it's management.

  • What I mean is..
    For example, the song "Sentimental" has 116 plays, so shouldn't that count as 116 plays for the whole album? Adding the plays of all the songs on the album it should have 533 plays in total, but it's only at 139.
    The album and songs are tagged exactly as here on the site btw.
    The reason for those four extra tracks is I listened to a special version of the album that included them. (I removed them now though as they have nothing to do with the problem.)

    @The Creed: i opened another thread thinking it was a compilation albums issue not realizing this thread existed. are we talking about the same thing here? (i know at least one single-artist album that has this problem.)

    Not sure if this is related. It's the bouncy numbers that made me think maybe they are :

    Already raised here: http://www.last.fm/forum/21713/_/439977/1

    I've maxed the 3x plays but the number of plays in my Library keeps shifting. I can't remember what it said last week but it's changed again to 29 plays. All I've ever heard of this artist is this album. There may have been one or two additional plays of tracks from this album in my other tag radios. So the total should 42 (14 tracks x 3), and a few more maybe. Around 45 is what it should be.
  • I've been having the same problem, see on my Album Pages, the total amount of listeners and album plays are way off, furthermore, they haven't been updated since the site has changed, so what gives Last.fm team? I've never had this issue before and I would more than appreciative to have this fixed.

    Here's a great example, as you can see, it easily exceeds 59 listeners, not to mention the total amount of plays, see for yourself, it much easier to grasp this -

    I thank thee, Last.fm Team, for listening

  • I am having a problem with the cd I am listening to, The Best of Dance Mix USA, 1997 Warlock Records. It is a two disc cd set. The first disc I played scrobbled everything fine. But the second disc shows the song and artist history just fine only with a message at the top saying it won't scrobble. Is it doing this because the second disc is scrobble proof? Or is there another issue going on?
  • Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends still says 0 plays for me, but when I click "in your library" it shows up there correct http://www.last.fm/user/minimoog70/library/music/Coldplay/Viva+La+Vida+Or+Death+And+All+His+Friends but its incorrect here http://www.last.fm/user/minimoog70/library/music/Coldplay?sortOrder=desc&sortBy=plays I've tried experimenting with the tags but nothing gets this album to display in My charts here http://www.last.fm/user/minimoog70/charts?subtype=albums
  • Is it just me or does it seem like the last.fm team doesn't even bother about reading these? Ever since the site changed, there's been some serious lagging, time responses have dropped considerably on this month of Augustine.
  • Damn...it's September & still no reply from any of the Last.fm Team...that's weak
  • In my library aren't apeer albums with "-" in their titles. Fg: Low-Life or 1974-2004: The Singles Collection. That's strange I think.
  • Check out Inkubus Sukkubus in my library... this is really pissing me off... had to add the album manually... and half of the scrobbles there are from the Last.fm radio. >____<; Album playcount still at 0, I'd like my charts to be accurate...

    Please leave me recommendations!
  • Some refuse to show up despite the correct tags, for example Spock Beard's Snow and Caravan's Caravan

  • Last.fm isn't working, even when I do listen to music it doesn't appear on my profile. The program automatically opens when I click on iTunes, it does say there which song I'm listening to, it just doesn't appear on my profile, what's that?

    I Tried to do the same with Caravan's album (Caravan) and with the same result, stil at 0...
  • My album hasn't increased plays and I've played the album way over the amount shown, Insomniatic and Oops I Did It Again and Light Years and Fever don't show the play count dispite the fact the names are in perfect order

    Funny, I have the same problem. I can't scrobble Ghosts I-IV and De-Loused in the Comatorium, among others
  • I'll second the problem with Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends, and throw in John Fogerty's "Revival" just for kicks. I've been restraining myself from listening to songs on those albums until they get fixed because inaccurate charts bug me more than they probably should.
  • Just let me do it, give me the key and i'll do it myself

    ditto, Insomniatic should be way over its amount, I want it to be fixed then they have to either let me do it and set up all the songs up to scratch and add them manually to the albums so its good, cuz, this whole thing creates a whole load of mistrust, then I'll give the key back and all will be good, just let me fix it, if they can't be bothered, its just not right

  • I agree with pretty much everyone here, my top artists deserve all their scrobbles, it's strange when you listen to so much music & still the amount of plays it has is not even 1/4 accurate to the total it really is. Please fix it. Byes
    Kaytea!
  • Anyone got any feedback from last.fm yet? This is getting a little ridiculous ):
    Kaytea!
  • Hmmm, *knock, knock*, anybody ever going to read this, last.fm team? Seriously, i mean this is definitely not a small issue in the slightest, indeed.
