True listener, if I'm not sitting at my comp or somewhere in my room, I don't usually play music at all. Unless I go to get a drink or go to the bathroom.

true listener here not 'cause of the last fm, its 'cause when I listen Im really focused, I like to enjoy the music 100% so I cant do anything when I listen to music. Maybe it sounds crazy but I dont listen to music cuz its fun. I listen to music 'cause I find it almost like spiritual experience. So, even in my car I cant stand the radio. Listen fully or not listen at all!

5% not , so yes I'm true listener :P

i listen to all music i scrobble. wmp actually a lot de-adds the plug in for scrobbling so after listening to a song on repeat for 3 hours, none of it scrobbles. So I have to manually go in an recheck the plug in.

I used to be a true listener but I've been severely slacking. I don't even care anymore. But yea for the most part I am a true listener.

I don't understand what's so good about being a "true listener", is not like you are a better person or something lol

Sometimes I like to play music and sometimes I don't, other times I like leaving my music on for days, especially when I go obsessed about an artist or a new album, and there are times when I just forget to turn it off.

So I guess all this puts me into the "fake listeners" list? meh :laugh


I laugh at people who take being a "true listener" seriously though, and think they're better listeners or something, even that nobody knows what that means


So I vote "nah" XD

Eh, I don't have that "true listeners are better!" mentality...I mean, it's just a website. I just treat my own scrobbling as SRS BUSINESS because I'm like that with my music. But I definitely don't have a problem if others don't. I was just curious to see what others do. :yes

Yeah, sorry I was not specifically talking about you, but I've seen other people who believe they are better people because they are "true listeners" lol and that bothers me :) But I wasn't referring to you or anyone personally in here :D

^Np, np.

i started mine not so long ago XD but yeah~ I think i listen to everything i scrobble. I hate it when they don't include interludes into my scrobbles though.

Yep, and I'm borderline OCD about it. If my charts weren't real or accurate, I think I'd lose a lot of interest in the site.

Most definitely am. If the tags are wrong, I delete the song from my library and play the correct tagged song to the same number.

Personally, I think all of us are "true listeners"

cause none of us are actually leaving the music on all the time just for scrobbles...

which I think is why they started the whole "true listener" thing...a group against the people that just want higher numbers.

Yes, I reseted my last.fm account the last time I let my music playing alone

I guess I'm not really, because I leave my music on constantly...most of the time I am listening...but when I'm sleeping or go out, it's usually on as well. So maybe 75% of the time I'm listening, the other 25% I'm sleeping or out.

True, and that's really lame.

I dunno. Personally, I just like to look at statistics about my listening habits. Not sure why. As for wanting more, I think that's an arbitrary, but common thing. Like wanting a higher post count at AHS and the like.

@Jess: "scrobble" is just the word they came up with, for when you listen to a song, and last fm records it.

So basically, "scrobbles" is just, how many plays you have of whatever.

There are people who want to be like "oh look, I have this many scrobbles/plays of so-and-so, look how awesome I am"

Yeah. People are crazy lol But then, a lot of people will praise someone with a crazy amount of scrobbles. There's someone who has over 100,000 Ayumi Hamasaki plays, and his page is just filled with "omg amazing" lol

Don't you remember Pokemon?! "I wanna be the very best like no one ever was!" :laugh
