Continuing my Roku Soundbridge Radio mt-daapd project, I decided I wanted to add audioscrobbler support to submit plays to my Last.fm profile. With some help from a thread on the Firefly forums I've been able to achieve this using lastfmsubmitd and a fairly simple script. Here's how to do it if you're using Ubuntu (Hardy Heron).Everything apart from the installation of lastfmsubmitd should be the same with most other distros.

I recently bought the fantastic Roku Soundbridge Radio for streaming internet radio and MP3s over the network. It works really well and is a welcome replacement for the old CD player in the kitchen. For the backend server (running on my MythTV box) I'm running the open-source Firefly Media Server which uses the DAAP protocol. After setting it up I discovered I really needed two servers; one for my own collection of MP3s and one for my partners. After a bit of googling and a couple of hours fiddling I now have two seperate mt-daapd processes running, serving up two collections of MP3s. This guide was written using Ubuntu Hardy Heron but it should be pretty easy to adapt to other versions of Ubuntu or other distros.
