Mobbler is god’s gift to users of Last.fm and Symbian S60 devices.
Only a short while ago it was just an app which sat in the background and collected tracks played on the built-in Music Player of Symbian phones like my Nokia N95 8gb. It would queue up and scrobble the tracks to your Last.fm profile when you told it to. Even then, it was much better than other Last.fm scrobbling apps for Symbian beca
use they all worked off their own players but personally, I don’t find anything wrong with the default Nokia player. So I was chuffed to find an app which would scrobble tracks I listened to on my phone. Useful, pretty cool but not worth writing home about… Till now.
After being offline for a while last month I was pleased to see news there’d be a few updates to Mobbler, currently at version 0.4.5 – always preferring to be up to date (even when it lands me in the shit, but that’s another story!) I installed the new version to find it now does so much more.
You can see data from your account on the phone such as your shoutbox, friends, playlists etc, you can listen to any Last.fm radio station you want (but I wouldn’t listen unless it’s on a wifi connection..) and it’s got a sleep timer which switches itself to offline mode after a set amount of time. For example, I usually put the “sleep” tag radio station on for half an hour when I go to bed.
So if you’ve got a Symbian S60 device and a Last.fm account – definitely check this out, have a play with it and see what you think. Top marks from me though.
