How to use Mobbler.
Featured
Updated Nov 29, 2011 by hugovk@gmail.com

Sign up for Last.fm

First you will need a free Last.fm account. Go here to sign up.

Enter your details

The first time you start Mobbler you should be asked for your Last.fm username and password. After that you can change your details by access the setting options in the menu or pressing the 8 key.

Queuing Tracks

When Mobbler is running on your phone it will queue the tracks you listen to using the Nokia S60 Music Player.

Online and Offline Modes

If you are in online mode, Mobbler will scrobble tracks played through the S60 Music Player. You will also be able to listen to Last.fm radio stations which will also be scrobbled.

If you are in offline mode, tracks played though the S60 Music Player will be queued. Those queued tracks will be submitted to Last.fm the next time you switch to online mode.

You can switch between online and offline mode using the Options menu.

Starting Radio Stations

You can start a Last.fm radio station, using the Start a new station sub-menu. Please note that stating a station will stream mp3 data over your data connection. It is probably best if you only do this over WIFI or if you have an unlimited data plan with your operator. The makers of Mobbler cannot be held responsible for your phone bill.

If you are in offline mode you will be asked to go into online mode before you can start the radio station.

Radio Controls

  • The up button will tell Last.fm that you love the current track
  • The down button will tell Last.fm to ban the current radio track from playing on your radio stations again and automatically skip to the next track
  • The enter button stops radio station
  • The right button skips to the next radio station track
  • The left button (when a track is playing) lets you do things with the current track, like add to a playlist, share with a friend, see similar artists, see top albums, and so on.
  • Both the volume buttons and '*' and '#' can be used to adjust the volume

Check for Updates

You can check for updates to Mobbler through the Check for updates menu button. If there is a new version of Mobbler you will be asked if you want to download it through your phone's browser.

Export Queue to Log

If you want to avoid uploading your scrobbles to Last.fm using your phone's internet connection, and don't have wifi available, you can export the scrobble queue to a Rockbox log file. This file is saved at C:\Data\Mobbler\.scrobbler.log which you can then transfer to your PC and upload to using a uploader (these may or may not work for you).

Keypad shortcuts

  • 5 - Toggle scrobbling
  • 8 - Settings
  • 9 - Toggle large album art (3rd edition only)
  • * (and volume button) - Decrease volume
  • # (and volume button) - Increase volume

Language Patches

Mobbler translations often come in after a a release is made, and non-English users have to wait a while until the next Mobbler release. Also, some people would like to have Mobbler running in a language other than that which their phone is in.

You can now install language patches for Mobbler so you may:

  1. have Mobbler in any language, regardless of what language your phone is in, and
  2. get langauge updates as soon as we receive them, without having to wait for the next Mobbler release.

Install the language you want from here. No need to remove the original Mobbler application, just restart it and it will use the new language. To change back, either install a new language or remove Mobbler Language using the Application Manager.

Exit

If you exit Mobbler, using the Exit command in Mobbler's options menu, Mobbler will close and any tracks you listen to will not be queued or scrobbled with Last.fm.

The ultimate S60 music app. Great work.

Comment by pablo...@gmail.com, Oct 12, 2008

someone knows how to change the volume in the N80? Like antti nissinen say the up button is for "love this track" and down is for bann the song.

Comment by henrylin...@gmail.com, Oct 21, 2008

My new favorite app. Thank you for helping me discover new music away from my PC!

Comment by arunmura...@gmail.com, Nov 3, 2008

Thank you so much.. Excellent app..one of few useful and neat s 60 apps i have seen.

It would be great if you can manage to include an option to play tracks on my cell from mobler itself. My e71 music player isnt really friendly and i would be happy to replace it

Comment by Miguelar...@gmail.com, Nov 13, 2008

WOOOOHOOOO! AWESOME, I'm gonna feature this awesome application on my blog! www.n95news.blogspot.com

Comment by robertva...@gmail.com, Nov 16, 2008

Works great on my Nokia E61. This is a pre-FP1 phone, so I installed mobblerhelper first.

Comment by capek....@gmail.com, Nov 22, 2008

THANKS!!

Comment by Christia...@gmail.com, Dec 22, 2008

sehr geil!

Comment by inofa...@gmail.com, Dec 24, 2008

Wow, I was looking for this. Or else I had to buy an iPod to really keep track of my listening habits.

Comment by unat...@gmail.com, Jan 19, 2009

Last Mobbler version on Nokia 5800 XM. Not queue music from S60 player. Last.fm radio queue good.

Comment by stakil...@gmail.com, Jan 22, 2009

Yeah. On 5800 it doesn`t scroll music from player... We are waiting for updates

Comment by chico...@gmail.com, Jan 27, 2009

I've just installed Mobbler on my N73 but I don't know how to make it scrobble or even queue the tracks. Could anyone, who has the same phone, help me online by MSN? I would be extremelly grateful.

WOOOOWWW, this Rocks :) Superb application I have ever used :)

Comment by hicks.br...@gmail.com, Apr 23, 2009

This works beautifully with the N82. Even accessible by the screenreader, mostly. Can't see the song title that's playing, but that's not much trouble. Everything else was easy. Thank you very much!!

One question, is there a plug-in so the music player will play and thus scrobble ogg files? No big deal if not, more curious than anything.

Comment by project member eartle@gmail.com, Apr 23, 2009

We are planning on adding support for other music players to be able to scrobble through mobbler. Potential one of those could play Ogg files.

Comment by mads.to...@gmail.com, May 22, 2009

One of the best applications I've seen for s60 - VERY good, no compromises, full functionality of last.fm, - uses it ALL the time, works perfectly via 3G on my N95 8GB, stutters maybe for 5 seconds during a 20 km ride in my car. - To the authors/author - keep up the good work, the community (s60) needs a programmer like you. And you are quite right in your decision to ad the "show cover functionality, because either you have a flatrate plan or you use this with wifi and then it doenst matter how much data you download. I'm going to compare this to the google mobile apps, apps i quality.

I just bought a Nokia 5800. I was looking desperatly for a web radio and found nothing good for my phone until... Mobbler ! Fantastic app ! Just to mention that now you have to pay 3 $ per month to get it work. Which is very few if, like me, you listen to Mobbler all the day long. If you have a poor Internet connection don't forget to switch to 64 kbits ! You'll be able to listen to Mobbler with just an Edge connection. If your operator allows it, and watch your wallet !

Comment by astrabla...@gmail.com, Jun 30, 2009

Great! Works well on my E51. I've been dreaming for a long time about such an application. I have just donated couple of bucks to express my satisfaction :-)

Easily one of the BEST programs i've ever used on my E63! Being able to scrobble tracks i listen to on my phone AND stream music from last.fm - simply awesome.

Keep up the good work!
