This actually a really cool thing from the Beebs: They have developed a widget (for Mac OSX and Yahoo! Widgets) which allows you to listen to BBC Radio 1, Radio 2, 6 Music or 1Xtra which then also ads the tracks that are played into your Last.fm account. The scrobbling probably only works for their non-specialist show, ie only when they are using their special playout software and not CDs or vinyl.
The probably best option is that I have the option of NOT having it scrobble everything automatically – surly I don’t want every track that I hear on one of the BBC station to show up in my profile. Just listening to BBC Radio 1 now (first time for quite a while) and it’s not easy to get used to all the talking when you’re normally only listen to Last.fm or your own mp3s.
I said on here before that I’m still a believer in ‘traditional’ radio where other people (who I don’t even know) decide what I should be listening to; if it’s someone I trust I’m happy to listen to his/her music selection. If I can scrobble that even better: I can then keep track on what was played and it’s easier for me to find the tunes later on and buy them.
Now I just want to be able to skip the tracks on the radio…
