How to use

  • Download the compressed file:
cd ~
wget http://web.vee.net/projects/scrobblefree/scrobblefree-0.4.tar.bz2
  • Unzip and untar the archive:
tar xfvj scrobblefree-0.4.tar.bz2
  • Copy files to the plugin directory:

Rhythmbox 0.12+:

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/plugins/
cp -a scrobblefree-0.4/scrobblefree/ ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/plugins/

Rhythmbox 0.11:

mkdir -p ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins
cp -a scrobblefree-0.4/scrobblefree/ ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins

To install the plugin system-wide:

sudo cp scrobblefree-0.4/scrobblefree /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins
  • Start Rhythmbox, enable the 'Scrobble Free' plugin (Edit > Plugins)
  • Hit the Configure button to specify your user name(s)
  • Click on the right-hand column to activate the text-entry for your username.

If Rhythmbox is unable to enable the Scrobble Free plugin, you may need to install (on ubuntu) the package python-gnome2-desktop.

Daniel Green made a little install script (Source):

#!/bin/sh

repo_url=http://web.vee.net/projects/scrobblefree
base_name=scrobblefree-0.4
archive=$base_name.tar.bz2
unarchived=$base_name

cd /tmp

wget $repo_url/$archive

tar xfvj $archive $unarchived

mkdir -p ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins

cp -a $unarchived/scrobblefree/ ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins

rm $archive
rm -R $unarchived

At Ubuntu you can also set up the scrobblefree PPA and install the scrobblefree package:

# sudo apt-add-repository ppa:rsalveti/scrobblefree
# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get install scrobblefree
