Last.fm kickstart network

[LMan]

Hey fellow musicians,

I was uploading my music to last.fm, but I have very few listeners. The FAQ say it would be a good idea to have friends scrobble and tag your music, giving the last.fm algorithms food for presenting it to other listeners. If anyone here faces the same problem, we might help each other out by scrobbling and tagging each others tunes.

Anyone interested?

Btw, here's my page:

Yup!

Cool. Any idea how to best achieve this? Using the official scrobbler seems to be a bit awkward.

This tool seems handy for scrobbling:

Although it might be a bit obvious if you scrobble 10 tunes in 10 minutes.

Nah. That feels like cheating...

I didn't intend to scrobble without listening, but I haven't found out an easy way to put like all your tunes on a playlist and play through them without having to click through various links and dropdowns each time.

As for cheating; I have no intention of artificially boosting listener stats - I'm looking for valid ways of establishing the music in their respective categories, as suggested by the last.fm FAQ.

But the last.fm UI seems so... cumbersome.

Another way is to scrobble last.fm radio channels related to an artist. For example "LMan-channel". Beside tracks from you a lot of similar artists will be played. That is very interesting aswell imho.
