There was once a script that synced amarok playcounts from <a href="http://last.fm">last.fm</a> values, but I think it was for 1.4. <br><br>The ideal way to deal with this would be to use a plugin-architecture for things like tags and playcount (and possibly rating), and then the data can be provided by and interface that abstracts either eg <a href="http://last.fm">last.fm</a> or the amarok DB , or any other provider that keeps this kind of info.<br>
<br>With respect to ratings on <a href="http://last.fm">last.fm</a> I cheat and tag things "5stars" "4stars" etc, though this is hardly ideal. There's also 'Love', which would seem to match a 5 star rating, but that's not much use without other ratings.<br>
<br>Also, two way syncing of playcount from amarok to <a href="http://last.fm">last.fm</a> is a no-no if you are scrobbling - you'd double count. One way syncing from lfm to Amarok is sufficient given that Amarok scrobbles plays to lfm anyway.<br>
<br>2 way syncing of tags would be sweet, and I suspect could be achieved with a script of some kind.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Nov 24, 2010 at 4:55 AM, Colin Kern <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:colin.kern@gmail.com">colin.kern@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>I have a <a href="http://last.fm" target="_blank">last.fm</a> account that I've been using for years, and this<br>
would be an almost perfect solution IF I could use those statistics<br>
stored on <a href="http://last.fm" target="_blank">last.fm</a> in Amarok's dynamic playlists and automatic playlist<br>
generator. But as far as I can tell, that's not possible. If Amarok<br>
kept its local play count synced with my <a href="http://last.fm" target="_blank">last.fm</a>'s play count, and<br>
also mirrored <a href="http://last.fm" target="_blank">last.fm</a> tags with local labels (both of these should<br>
ideally be a two-way syncing), that would be great! But even then,<br>
you can't store ratings on <a href="http://last.fm" target="_blank">last.fm</a> :(<br>
