Last.FM - issues - Please Post Here

Try this: http://www.stationripper.com/release/SR_V2.72A.exe

I was testing tonight and recorded 58 songs on one stream and 48 on another.

This doesn't re-try right now, but prevents a error (it's handing bad chars in file names - which was probably causing your issue).

Any idea of the way I could record a station like "music similar to Brad Paisley": I cannot get any ripping stream. Thanks for you help.

I have the same problem. It is not possible for me to rip an own stream in the way of "music similar to [name of the artist]". I would be pleased about a soon response. It only plays the song. If I type in the URL manually (for example "lastfm://listen/artist/Alabama%25203/similarartists") it only says "Starting stream" without doing anything.

Hi MikDawg,

Not sure I understand :)

Could you walk me throug how, exactly, you are starting up a on-demand playback for a complete album?

Thanks

Hi I wonder if anyone can help me because I think this program could be so good.

Whenever I try and rip a stream of last.fm all I can see in the window is meta interval: -1 relay port:10069 [getting track name...] [re-connecting...] -[re-connecting...] -[re-connecting...] -[re-connecting...] -[re-connecting...] -[re-connecting...] -[re-connecting...] -[re-connecting...] - and so on.

All it does is say [re-connecting...] -[buffering...]

What am I doing wrong? Here is my log:

Any help much appreciated.  Thanks!

hey there, i spoke with you on youtube briefly.

Here is what I've tried:

1) checked IE (plays fine here and fire fox)
2) re-installed .net 2.0
3) set fire wall exceptions & even tried turning it off
4) Checked my username and password in Station Ripper

Problem:

So station Ripper loads fine. When i click "Last.FM" on the side bar, the site also loads fine. however, when I start the player StationRipper does not prompt me for user info, or recognize i am playing a stream.

If i click on "last.FM stations" and hit play or record buttons the IP quickly pops up in the dock, shows green, says buffering, and the black dos console screen appears. but all of this lasts approx .5 of a second and just flashes up. it all auto removes/closes (the main program will still stay up)

I cant seem to find anyone having this problem on the forum, any suggestions? thanks!

Hey Greg,

it only plays in the flash player. when i click "play in software" i get the same issue as when i try to enter lastfm://globaltags/90s

the console pops up by immediately closes 

update: i managed to mash my print screen and capture what it says before the console closes

the error says only registered users can record.

but i am registered, i even logged in within station ripper, and have tried making a new account from within station ripper. any other tips? im going to re-download and install the demo again in the mean time. Thanks for all your help!

I got the program working, and purchased the gold version.

was ripping music perfect for the past two days, however just today i cant seem to connect any more. and i haven't changed any settings.

it just says "recording stream" in the console and after a few minuets of green it closes it self.

any suggestions?

Huh - at a guess, somethign was down on Last.fm (which happens every now and then).

I would always, if StationRipper was working and then stops, recommend trying to play last.fm in the external player, via IE.  If it doesn't play, then Last.fm is down in some way.

Thanks,

-Greg

I can record the last.fm very rarely. Sometimes it is possible, more often- not. I write lastfm://globaltags/dark%20ambient on box under, it "starts" to rip, I can even listen to it, but it doesn't record even a byte. I'm turning on last.fm in late evening, so there shouldn't be so much traffic. Last.fm works good on his own software- I can listen to music without any problem.
The other problem is in the browsers. Since the moment I turned the settings to play in console only, when I want to listen to music on firefox or IE, it shows a white, blank page. 
I turn my firewall off (it was blocking last.fm "hijacking" by other application), but there's no result.
I copied the last.fm console to the SR folder, it helped, but application is still unpredictable.
I don't know what to do.
Important- I've got 2.82 version.
