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.

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).

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:
- have Mobbler in any language, regardless of what language your phone is in, and
- 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.
