Is there a way to scrobble music to last.fm? - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The official mediocre last.fm app doesn't support the built-in music player, neither do the rest of third-party apps in store. It's frustrating and I can't find a workaround. I would appreciate the help, thanks.

What's a good radio stream player for Android?

I try different stream players from the Android Market but no one works fine. I have 2 players with streams TuneIn Radio, that's a good one with lots en lots of streams all over the world. It's a pitty that you can't add streams. I have also WunderRadio where it's possible to add the stream URL.
But I'm looking for one player not with streams, only a player what plays the stream wher you click on a website with streams like tuned.mobi.com or something and where you can add stream URL's. There are lots of it on the Android Market but lots of don't work. When I click on a stream, it download the .pls file or something and put in my downloadhistory and when I click on it it opens in the standard player but can't play it. I'm looking for a player to play in all stream formats like mp3, WMA, AAC+, .pls, MMS:// etc. There was a good player on Windows Mobile, the TCPMP player. I like an alternative of that player. I hope someone can help me.
I think Tunein radio

Yes, I use Tunin Radio but I'm looking for only a player what play streams in many stream formats (mp3, wma (windows media files), .pls extensions, aac+, etc. etc.) and where you can add streams to your favorites.
I like streamfurious. Pro is expensive, probably not worth it with how the dev is (Not lazy, but not communicative either, doesn't update too often).
But once installed, it should all you to load a url in the app. If it does not work, the url in the browser should. (I have a custom m3u playlist, it loads from the browser, and streamfurious takes it from that point, adding it to its list).
I might not sound very positive about it, but I really do love the app.
Try XiiaLive Light in the market.

If you're on android 2.2+ Winamp has built in shoutcast which streams many radio stations. The stations are also listed in genres which is handy. Winamp also plays music on your phone better than the stock app.
XiiaLive is the best in my opinion.
Winamp is nice, but it has a few bugs in it, and I couldn't get it to automatically resume playing after calls, or on a dropped connection/buffer.
Xiilive and Winamp I try them both but no player works fine for me. I don't want a player with lots of standard stream but only a player, nothing more, nothing less. Winamp have lots of bugs and can't stream the channels in the shoutcast directory and also not Window Media Player. Also the option with clickable links in the browser are not working. I'm looking for a player what can play windows media streaming formats like asx, wma mms:// etc. and who have a the posibility for clickable streams on websites in the browser.
Motorala music player ist good for streaiming radio
I'm having pretty good luck with bsplayer, for both audio and video streams. bsplayer even seems to be able to seek direct mp3 streams, which most other players seem to either not be able to do, or do not do correctly. requires byte-range server support, of course.

Di radio is great if you like house music.

I second this. The recommendation of xiialive was so "understated", though, that I almost didn't take it seriously... after trying every other app that anyone suggested, and having them ALL fail completely. Well, JustPlaylists was able to play some pls files (never m3u, though). These posts (this complaint) are so old, though, that I lost hope that any app could manage this BASIC functionality. Even the n7player (full trial version) was a complete fail. Xiialive works fantastically well, though. Plays all pls and m3u files, whether local or on a webpage. Plus, the rest of the app is very well done, as well. I love the alarm feature , which allows you to schedule a "program change". You can make this recur on any selected day(s), as well. I set it so that it automatically starts playing Mind Over Matters at 9am (EST) on Sat and Sun, then switches to KPFA at noon. The list of "built-in" stations is extensive (there are 2 different "repositories", which I don't fully understand, but the advanced one contained all the stations I wanted (WORT, KEXP, Free Radio Santa Cruz, etc.). Reorganization of stations from the original categorization offered was also simple and intuitive... as is the whole app. I have no connection with this app except as a happy user who was SO glad to find someone, apparently, who can code... not just use the limited android media functions.

[Q] Podcast app WITH lockscreen controls

Would anyone know which podcast app has lockscreen controls? I've tried current versions of Doggcatcher, Google listen and an older version of Beyondpod. Paid or free, it doesn't matter and I would much rather NOT use Widgetlocker. Thanks
dont know man... alli use is beyond pod... i thinks it's te best out...
I use pocketcasts
I use pocketcasts, which, by the ways is the best podcatcher in android(Ihave tried them all) but no lockscreen controls. What a great idea. I'll email the dev.
Would you know if pocketcasts downloads and tags the podcasts as mp3 files? If so I can use a seperate music player with lockscreen controls to playback the files after they are downloaded like mortplayer or winamp. It's a cumbersome solution, but I listen to a lot of podcasts and really need lockscreen controls!
yea
It does download the MP3 and tag it somehow. It shows up in my other music players. Not a good solution. Please let me know what music player you use with lockscreen controls.

2.3.3 Music app... no scrobble support?

Just updated to 2.3.3 to discover that the new music app doesn't support last.fm scrobbling I love the music app and I am also a scrobble junkie and the fact that I can't scrobble with the new music app saddens me =\ Is it possible to mod the music apk with scrobble support? or is this something last.fm would have to add to their app? I'd rather not use another music app... it's mainly a deal with widgets and the stock music apps widget is ugly.

Alternative option for Google Play Music streaming?

Is there an app which makes use of the Google Play Music app? I personally hate the software but enjoy the selection of music it offers. I pay for a subscription but would rather use a better less buggy app...
I would like to see that too. I only subscribe to Play Music to get Youtube Red. Otherwise I'd still be using Spotify.
I also do not much like that now are more spotify app
