How to use

  • Download the compressed file:

cd ~

wget  http://web.vee.net/projects/scrobblefree/scrobblefree-0.4.tar.bz2

  • Unzip and untar the archive:

tar xfvj scrobblefree-0.4.tar.bz2

  • Copy files to the plugin directory:

Rhythmbox 0.12+:

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/plugins/ cp -a scrobblefree-0.4/scrobblefree/ ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins

Rhythmbox 0.11:

mkdir -p ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins cp -a scrobblefree-0.4/scrobblefree/ ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins

To install the plugin system-wide:

sudo cp scrobblefree-0.4/scrobblefree /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins

  • Start Rhythmbox, enable the 'Scrobble Free' plugin (Edit > Plugins)
  • Hit the Configure button to specify your user name(s)
  • Click on the right-hand column to activate the text-entry for your username.

If Rhythmbox is unable to enable the Scrobble Free plugin, you may need to install (on ubuntu) the package python-gnome2-desktop.
