./install.sh

To install system-wide (for all users), run this script as root with

How to enable

After installing the plugin in one of the two ways mentioned above, start up Rhythmbox, and head over to the "Edit > Plugins" menu. Check the box next to "Sync Rhythmbox Last.Fm". Also make sure that you also have the regular "Last.fm" plugin enabled, since your Last.fm credentials stored in this plugin are used by the Last.fm playcount synchronization plugin to get the correct playcounts.

With the combination of plays counts and the date of first play, it is possible to create an automatic playlist to find the songs less played in your library. Probably, these songs aren't very nice...

To create this playlist, in "New Automatic Playlist" use this following rules:

  • Time Added to Library > not in last > 50 > weeks
  • Play Count > at most > 4
  • Play count > at least > 1
