IF YOU CAN'T HEAR THE MUSIC!!! :-) Try this:

While in the Currently Recording state, use a media player to listen to the
stream directly from The Last Ripper process. In foobar2000, do ctrl+u, or
Winamp ctrl+l to add an internet "location". By default, the address will
be:

http://localhost:8000/

Remember that if you skip tracks, you'll hear any buffered music first
before the player skips to the next track. You can also stop then play that
stream to start listening to the "fresh" music that is coming down.

Remember also to stop listening via the last.fm website at the same time!

This Worked perfectly for me. Now I can hear what Im recording.

Hi, I have a problem with the program and G-Data Antivirus. Sometimes when
the recording of a song has finished, the antivirus starts scanning the
recorded file. The leads to a timeout error:

"Timeout for action in System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
in LibLastRip.LastManager.StartRecording"

How can this be fixed?

This is such a brilliant piece of little software.. as well as the Last.fm
idea... just brilliant, love it, got addicted to it...
I can start to create my song library from scratch now.. Unfortunately some
songs from Last.fm are not correctly tagged, especially as genre, but it is
still sensational...

Comment by ion...@pdamobile.ro:

btw, and i'm sorry if i didn't get this simple answer to this simple
question: what happens if the same song is being played again on last.fm?
Please please don't tell me it is being saved again as mp3 and added to the
default download directory. It would be a shame. It should be skipped or
worst case overwritten. I'll try to find this out by myself, but thanks in
advance for an answer.

Comment by ganyme...@web.de:

If you connect to an artist radio and have too many artists/songs skipped
(either because of already being downloaded or because they are
unwanted "new" artists) the program loops endlessly with the few tracks
last.fm sends (they are always the same ones as can be seen in the log).
Maybe it would be a good idea to let TheLastRipper cool down, i.e. request
tracks slower in order for more artists/tracks to be proposed by last.fm.
Basically, when you give last.fm time to recover, ripping works just nicely
until it gets exhausted again.

I'd really appreciate seeing this fixed since otherwise you can't leave the
ripper alone, it'll get into the loop pretty soon.

I'm experiencing some problems...I downloaded the ripper today (version
1.4) and tried it right away by ripping some songs out of an artist's radio
station, which worked wonderfully, same for songs out of my personal
library. Then I made a playlist with 44 songs by altogether 9 artists and
tried to rip that playlist, but the ripper doesn't react at all then.
I can't really explain that to myself...must I be a subscriber to LastFM to
be able to rip a playlist? I can't actually listen to said playlist as a
non-subscriber after all...
