Nuvola Player Adds Built-In Last.fm Scrobbling

Nuvola Player integrates various cloud music services (Google Music, Grooveshark, Hype Machine and 8tracks) with your desktop: Mpris2 (Ubuntu Sound Menu integration), notifications, multimedia keys, Unity quicklists and more.

The latest Nuvola Player available in the Unstable PPA finally adds built-in Last.fm scrobbling for all the supported cloud music services. Until now, you had to use user scripts for this.

Other new features in the latest unstable Nuvola include: elementary-like AppMenu (can be enabled by selecting View > Only toolbar) and an option to automatically start playback on start-up (if possible).

To install the latest unstable Nuvola in Ubuntu, use the commands below:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nuvola-player-builders/unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nuvolaplayer

Note: the built-in Last.fm scrobbling feature is not yet available for Ubuntu Lucid in the unstable PPA, because the builds failed.

Remember, this PPA is unstable! See also: Stable or Beta Nuvola PPAs (it will take a while until you get the features available in Unstable though).

Arch Linux users can install the latest unstable Nuvola via AUR.

For other Linux distributions: get the code via Launchpad (bzr branch lp:nuvola-player).
