Lastsync project is a ruby script to download your last.fm statistics like playcount of your music files and save it to your Amarok database. This is particular useful if you scrobble from many sources (Linux, Windows, iPod ...) but want to have a accurate Amarok statistic (e.g. for creating dynamic playlists).
What this script does
Last.fm provides their complete information in a XML format for easy access (see http://www.audioscrobbler.net/data/webservices/ for more details), but there's no way to see the complete playcount of all tracks ever listened (the "Top Tracks" stream only shows the Top 50). To solve this problem, the script downloads your complete "Weekly Chart List" history and processes week by week, summing up the playcount of all weeks. The script then searches for each track in your Amarok database and sets the playcount, score, last played and first played time of the appropriate files. This is not completely accurate, but works (for me it counted 23.000 of my 24.000 plays), to achieve the best results run it Sunday Noon, after last.fm updates their Weekly Chart.
Please note that the script currently only runs with a SQLite Amarok-backend.
Here are some key features of "Lastsync":
· Retrieve your last.fm stats (playcount, score, last played, first played) and save it to your Amarok
· Correct misstagged id3 tags
· Supported backend: SQLite
