Whenever you go to ass/edit stations there's an error. Is something broken and are there any plans to fix it? Thanks. Hi, I was trying to use Lastbridge on the web.

I want to buy that player and one of the things that was stopping me, was that I did not know if it was supported by last.fm . Can I ask you some questions about the wifi hardware :) I did not found your e-mail on the site. I am dropping mine :) P.S. Really nice work. I saw the code. I thought that the script was restreaming, but it only creats a readable play list. That saves a lot of traffic. I am thinking if I knew the last.fm protocol... the script may be tuned to show the current playing song. Hi,

I use it alot as I dont always want the computer on to play last fm. Anyway it would be much better if the track details could appear on the soundbridge - is it possible?

I managed (trial and error and a steep learning curve!) to get a webpage up that looks like yours but with my last.fm station on it and even got that working on my Soundbridge Internet Radio. I'm afraid I've done all that without really knowing what is going on! If I press the buttons (e.g Skip this track) on the webpage, should that skip the track on the Soundbridge there and then? It doesn't. Hope you can help clear some mist. Hi Ferny

The weird thing is that the script itsself seems to work fine, I get an 'ok' response from the lastFM site on handshake. Any ideas?

Thanks for making this great application - I have just one question about it: Is it possible to adjust the buffer size the Soundbridge uses to play the last.fm stream - I seem to have some pausing and re-buffering. Also if you could send me an Joost! invitation, please :) Best Regards, Tero T Hi!

Thanks for this! Exactly what i wanted to do with my soundbridge. Three question for you? - how can i play a station in association of an artist. It is like this: lastfm://globaltags/myArtist" - When i do change station, is the soundbridge supposed to start playing automatically the new station or do i have to restart it's connection to lastFM - do you know a way for the soundbridge to display the name of the song and the name of the artist. I can code in php.... just point me the direction you take if you were doing it.... Thanks again for this app! I’m french so sorry for the misspelling.

To add more station like your personal or favorites open up stations.php and just insert them there. So for your Loved station the string in the stations.php file is: $station[1] = "lastfm://user/".USERNAME."/loved"; and where USERNAME is your actual username in last.fm for me it would be fernyb. I am not sure what you mean by this, "I’d be interested in knowing how you found the address (or url or what ever your code does behind the scenes) that point to the specific radio station your code points the SB to today."

However i'd like to know what last.fm station it tunes in to: the logged in users "Neighborhood radio" or what? - And where do i have to change the code so i can tune into my personal station (or even my "loved" radio) since that i why i actually pay for the last.fm service.
