Traktor Scrobbler – tweet your currently played songs

Traktor-Scrobbler-Icon

DJs using Twitter often want to keep their followers informed about everything. Their playlists are no exception. Traktor Scrobbler sends the currently played song live to their Twitter-Account (more social platforms are planned). This is done using Traktor’s Broadcasting-feature. No IceCast is needed but an already running Server can be used to determine the track-data optionally.

    It looks like I’ll rewrite the tool completely during the next day using .NET.
    Therefore it is likely that you’ll be able to use it on Mac OS X with Mono.
    Last.fm should also be there soon.

    That’s high on my agenda.
    I plan to have it done by the end of next week.

    When do you plan on adding OAuth for Twitter? It’s no longer usable until you add it. :(

    wonder if this scrobbler will support Mac OS X and Last.fm in the future…

    How can it be a scrobbler if it doesn’t actually scrobble? :) Actual Last.fm integration would be sweet, and less misleading!

    Also you should update this to use Twitter OAuth before August 16th, when “basic auth” i.e. password auth is being dropped by Twitter.

    By the way, I’ve been working on something very similar for Serato ScratchLive!, although it’s a command line app so therefore not as user friendly. http://github.com/ben-xo/sslscrobbler

    hi there,

    many thanks for this great app!

    I was able to make it work, but its only showing the name of the artist and not the title of the track, do you know how to fix it?

    Moinsens,

    könntest du in der nächsten Version die Möglichkeit einbauen, den Mount-Path selbst festzulegen? Weil nich jeder benutzt den Standard Mount Path.

    Grüße Thomas

    Hey,

    einfach nur genial das ding! Danke dafür!

    Habe eben im NI – Forum gelesen, dass du auch eine Facebook-Version Planst. Wie siehts damit aus? Schon erste ansätze?

    Wobei das an sich eigentlich nicht notwendig ist, da man Twitter und Facebook verbinden kann. (ja, es geht auch bei normalen Usern ;) )

    MfG Thomas

    Great app! I use traktor studio 3.2.0 with Final Scratch and I was wondering if you could make this app also working for final scratch. The current song remains on: Unknown Artist – Unknown Track..

      Yes, it is, but you still need IceCast to use it and it won’t be useable with last.fm.

    Ich werde es im Deutsch versuchen, aber es ist leider nicht wie gut wie ich es höfte.

    Ist einer OSX version auch in die Planning? If so, I would really be rocking it hard!

    Warum kein last.fm Support? Immerhin hast du dir den Namen von dort “geliehen”.

      Hab schon dran gearbeitet, aber wollte erstmal oAuth für Twitter umsetzen (was sich als die größte Kotze rausstellt wo gibt)

    was noch nett wäre, wäre wenn man einstellen könnte wie oft er tweeten soll. sonst packt man n lied ins deck und hat noch nich mal laufen lassen und schon isses getweetet.

    Funktioniert super – allerdings sollte nur dann der tag an twitter gesendet werden wenn der crossfader völlig rübergezogen ist. das problem,wenn ich mit den linefadern cutte wird jedesmal der dasselbe der tag von deck a und b gesendet.

    cheerz & danke für das tool

      Allein Traktor bestimmt welches Lied gerade gespielt wird.
      Daran kann also nur Native Instruments etwas ändern.
