Last.fm Audioscrobbler
If you use Last.fm (available on the web at last.fm), you might already be familiar with
Last.fm’s “audioscrobbler,” which keeps track of what you play on your computer and
updates your Last.fm account. You can configure your Squeezebox Boom to scrobble,
as well:
Create a free Last.fm account (if you don’t already have one) 1.
by visiting www.last.fm.
Sign in to SqueezeNetwork (2. www.squeezenetwork.com), click Accounts,
and then select the Last.fm tab.
Enter your Last.fm username and password.3.
Enable scrobbling for your Squeezebox Boom.4.
Once you have set up your SqueezeNetwork account for Last.fm scrobbling, you can
change your scrobbling settings via your Squeezebox Boom by selecting Settings >
Last.fm Audioscrobbling from the Home Screen.

just connect your device using the included 3.5mm stereo cable, hit
play on
your device, and adjust the volume accordingly. If your Squeezebox Boom is not
connected to SqueezeCenter or SqueezeNetwork:

Learn More About SqueezeNetwork
and SqueezeCenter
As covered earlier, your Squeezebox Boom must be connected to a music source
(SqueezeNetwork or SqueezeCenter) to operate. These sources are more than just
gateways to a wide variety of music -- they also offer lots of additional options and
extras for customizing your experience. Each service has online, interactive help that
will guide you through using the available features.
