Virtual DJ Scrobbler
VDJLastFMScrobblerV 1.0.1
Java Virtual DJ – LastFM Scrobbler application
Background:
I am a big fan of the Last FM website and service and use it to
scrobble whatever music I am listening to from iTunes or Spotify when
I am at home or from an Android or iPhone when on the move.
I am also a big fan of playing around with Virtual DJ and
thought it would be good if I could get that to scrobble automatically
as well. I did a bit of searching around the net and even though I
found a lot of people who were looking for the same thing, I could not
find anything currently available to do this.I have been meaning to have a go at writing my own application
for a while now so though this would be the ideal thing to have a go
at.
Feedback:
You can follow updates on the application on twitter to receive and leave feedback.

CURRENT VERSION: V1.0.1 – DOWNLOAD
This is only the first release and so there are bound to be some
issues that need ironing out, I have been using it for a while and it
seems to do the job. I am hoping some beta testers can try it out and
give me some feedback on any issues and suggestions for improvements.
I would be interested to know which versions of Virtual DJ this is confirmed to work with.In the mean time I am going to work on making it easier to
install.
