iPhone MobileScrobbler: Last.fm internet radio on iPhone!
December 15, 2007 by dennis
If you’re anything like this updater that usually listens to online radio stations like (warning: please don’t listen to these stations if you don’t want your head to explode!) 915thebeat.com and di.fm, the lack of online radio stations support on iPhone was probably irritating — until now.
A new third party program for the iPhone called MobileScrobbler (which obviously has to be installed via iPhone installer.app on a jailbreaked iPhone) allows iPhone and iPod Touch owners to tune their device onto Last.fm’s digital radio waves.
iPhone MobileScrobbler can stream Last.fm radio streams over wifi and EDGE, and display artist biographies as your music plays. The playback screen displays the current track information, as well as an excerpt from the Last.fm wiki for the current artist. From here, you can mark songs as banned, loved, or skip to the next track. If you’re listening to a radio stream, you can also control the volume.
