I’ve just stumbled across Dan and Dan’s videos on YouTube. Here’s ‘their’ Requiem for a Wardrobe:

TrackbackI was looking for a Symbian app to scrobble the tracks I play on my Nokia N95. After a quick search I found ASPY Player, written by Douglas. As you might have already guessed by the name it needs Python (PyS60) installed. Currently it’s still in beta (b4 released on April 9) and it only scrobbles tracks stored on your phone, streaming will hopefully come later. It’s hasn’t got the prettiest interface, but it gets the job done.
Another Python app is blastfm. This one lets you listen to your last.fm streams, complete with love, ban and skip functions. Or at least I think that’s what it does – after entering my username and password it kept crashing and never started up once. I’ll be keeping an eye out for future versions though.
The next one does not require Python. mobbler is similar to the official last.fm desktop client in that it runs in the background scrobbling the tracks you play with the S60 Music Player. It works great, once it finds an Internet connection it sends the tracks to your profile and then keeps on scrobbling ‘live’.
I’ve also found a great mashup using the flickr & last.fm webservices and GPS data running on Python. Check out the video presentation. It’s not really all that useful, but fun. There is no download available, it is a prototype developed by 4 international students at The Technical University of Denmark. But it gives an idea of the great possibilities webservices offer for mobiles.
I’m really surprised that last.fm doesn’t offer mobile clients yet. There are now so many people who exclusively use their phones/mobile devices to play music on the go. They could even make free tracks available to download and provide links so you can purchase tracks straight from your phone.
Do you know of any other last.fm apps/mashups for mobile devices? Add them in the comments.
