Download now for Windows Compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10.
The problem: Though the Audioscrobbler plugin works very well on transferring the data of currently played local tracks to the Last.fm for Windows application (and thus to Last.fm), it can not do the same for streamed tracks, even when correct artist and title information is sent within the stream.
A way to a solution: Before actually playing the streamed track(s) with Winamp, have them converted to single tracks. This is done by utilizing the free Streamripper plugin for Winamp, which at the same time adds time-shifting functionality to the playback. 'Time-shifting' means, that you can skip back and forward during playback and repeat tracks, a functionality known from modern 'personal video recorder' set-top boxes for digital TV.
How to: First, Winamp and the Last.fm for Windows application have to be installed, and the Audioscrobbler plugin must be present in Winamp. Easiest way to install the Audioscrobbler plugin is to use the installation wizard of the Last.fm application (menu: Tools/Get Plugin..). Check if scrobbling works for local files.
Note: The following setup will work as well with the alternative Winamp plugin 'AWAAS - ActiveWinAmpAudioScrobbler' (without the Last.fm application), but it won't display 'Now playing' at Last.fm while you are listening to a song; instead, the songs will be shown after they each have finished playing. More about this, see comments.
Next is to install Streamripper, a free Open Source software. It includes a Winamp plugin. When Streamripper and its plugin is installed, it will automatically load when Winamp is started. Streamripper adds an icon ('SR') to the tray area, which provides control of the Streamripper window and settings. The Winamp plugin allows to control whether Streamripper is automatically started and enabled with Winamp.
Now, use these settings in Streamripper options:
Connection
Try to reconnect to the stream if it drops [yes]
Create relay stream [yes if you want to be able to get playback on another computer]
Don't rip over X megs [yes and a value if your hard disk space is quite limited]
Local Machine Name: localhost
File
Output directory [choose a directory on a drive with at least 1 GB of free space, preferably not the system drive (C: usually) - or set 'don't rip over X megs' to a value of at least ~1000 MB less than your free space]
Rip to seperate files [yes]
Rip to single file [no]
Overwrite tracks in complete: Always
Add ID3 V2.3 info to the tracks [yes]
Add finished tracks to winamp playlist [yes]
Number of initial songs to leave incomplete: 0
Pattern
Output file pattern: %1q
Skins
[as you wish]
Splitting
[leave at default]
Ext/Codeset
[leave at default]
Usage: Choose and start playback of an internet radio station with Winamp as usual: By clicking a link on a website, i.e. http://www.shoutcast.com/, http://files.kusmierz.be/rmf/ and many others, a Winamp bookmark, a saved .pls or .m3u file, through the shoutcast radio page of Winamp's media library, or by entering an URL.
Make sure the radio station is playing and delivering correct artist and title information. The track info shown in Winamp must comply with this scheme:
Track Artist - Track Title (Station Name and Information)
When the station is playing that you want to scrobble, click on 'Start' in the Streamripper window. Note that now two streams of the same station will be received: One playing 'live' in Winamp, one for recording by Streamripper. To reduce load to your favourite station, you could now switch to another station in Winamp, just temporarily for the next few minutes. You also can stop playback in Winamp right before you start Streamripper.
As soon as one track of your recorded station ends, it will be added to the actual playlist in Winamp. But do not start playback of the first recorded track immediately, because playback will likely end (and set Winamp to stop) when it ends before the next track is complete. Wait until 2 or more recorded tracks are added automatically to the playlist. Also note, that the playlist window will be cleared, if you open some file or other radio station now.
As soon as several tracks from your ongoing Streamripper recordings are in Winamp's playlist, you can pause, skip or replay tracks at will!
Streamripper will continue recording the station until stopped, or until your hard disk is full (or until the station stops playing of course). If you applied the settings correctly, Streamripper will automatically delete old tracks. Otherwise a simple script or scheduled Windows task could be set up to clear the download directory.
