Free slimserver software for linux

Slimserver Control is a Amarok script that can control your Slimserver (play/stop) from Amarok.

Usage:

Run the script. On first run, it will ask for the Slimserver IP address, port and the Squeezebox MAC address. If in doubt for the answers, browse to your Slimserver home page, then, while playing a song, move your mouse over the "Play" button. You should see in the status bar of your browser a URL similar to this one:

http://localhost:9000/status_header.html?p0=play&player=00%3A04%3A20%3A06%3A9c%3Aaa

In this example:

Slimserver IP adddress = localhost

Slimserver port = 9000

Squeezebox MAC address = 00%3A04%3A20%3A06%3A9c%3Aaa

SlimScrobbler project will submit music files that you listen to on your Squeezebox to Last.FM, where it will show up on your recently-played list and count towards your listening statistics.
If you want to listen to Last.FM internet radio through your Squeezebox, then you also need James Craigs Last.FM plugin - and very good it is too.
Once upon a time there were two websites, one called Audioscrobbler, and one called Last.FM. Audioscrobbler tracked what you listened to on your PC; Last.FM provided personalised streaming radio.
In 2005 they merged completely and dropped the "Audioscrobbler" name. Thats why all the plugins for Last.FM tend to be called Scrobblers.
Enhancements:
- Changed tag submission format again!
