There was more, of course, but I think this was the most recent one

how do you know if it is the 'social networking' page for the artist? Do they have a way of stealing the scrobbles from other artists with the same name?

reosarevok: I spoke to last.fm about some of this in December and it does sound like the future is bright, thanks to ocharles :)

hrglgrmpf said "Artists can request to manage a certain name on last.fm, in which case it is their page. I don't know how exactly this can be seen, but often this is indicated by the artist linking to last.fm from their official home page, or if they have free tracks on their page."
Do you know who I have to ping so this gets updated? :)

I guess there is a place to fix frenhc (went there long time ago) but can we discuss somewhere before fixing the strings ? Like maybe better to use verbs for action links like “edit” etc.
luks: Oh, I deleted the cache file and now it says "Submitted 5560 fingerprints". Apparently it already recorded some fingerprints as sent, even though the submission failed.

reosarevok: i cross 3 main libraries everyday, if klassika.info doesn't have the info you need i could take a look into a printed k�chelverzeichnis.
so I guess they can stay unidentified for now until someone who knows more about L. Mozart appears

reosarevok,enjayhch: I have no idea if you can "manage" a page where there are two popular bands with the same name... but it is definitely possible if there is only one

might have to update the BBC website to use last.fm from MusicBrainz if you can
2012-01-23 02354, 2012
reosarevok would drop last.fm
2012-01-23 02327, 2012
reosarevok
(I mean, I found some artists already that assume that's their page (and the data is wrong) because last.fm shows them

enjayhch: I registered an artist name on last.fm once for a friend (hobby band)
2012-01-23 02337, 2012
hrglgrmpf
that's why I know... via the management panel it is then possible to upload album information or free tracks
2012-01-23 02328, 2012

I have no idea what happens if there are two active artists who want to manage their last.fm page... maybe a shared account ;-)?
2012-01-23 02335, 2012
hrglgrmpf
(two artists with the same name that is)
2012-01-23 02341, 2012

I would include automatic searches to last.fm, either through name or through MBID, and display it if there is no last.fm link present for the artist
2012-01-23 02310, 2012
hrglgrmpf
it should be named "Search on Last.fm" (like SoundUnwound)
2012-01-23 02324, 2012
reosarevok
I wouldn't mind it as long as it clearly doesn't claim the page is there and is correct
2012-01-23 02326, 2012
hrglgrmpf
(at least for me)
2012-01-23 02306, 2012
reosarevok
Yeah, I wouldn't disagree with them as long as it's clearly marked

Last.fm is a very good place to get information about active artists (most popular songs, trivia and touring dates)
2012-01-23 02315, 2012
reosarevok
I wonder how last.fm assigns MBIDs
2012-01-23 02333, 2012
hrglgrmpf
yes... I think they get it from scrobbles
2012-01-23 02349, 2012
hrglgrmpf
at least I always submit recording MBIDs for the songs I scrobble :-)
2012-01-23 02301, 2012
reosarevok
Not by comparing names and titles?
2012-01-23 02306, 2012
reosarevok
(or just names)
2012-01-23 02317, 2012

I don't think so... but I'm not sure

the last.fm people have their on mb database, don't they?
2012-01-23 02348, 2012
hrglgrmpf
what I wonder is why they have MBID for many artists now and even albums, but not for most of the tracks (the only thing they get first-hand)
