  4. Since this app can’t scrobble to lastfm, I searched for an alternative one, and I found it, here it is http://apps.codigobit.info/gmusic

    • It’s not an alternative, it doesn’t access to Google Music. It is only useful for LastFM.

  5. This is a real nice little app, but I needed to reinstall my computer, and now this app is not working, it is always asking to install the flash player, but it won’t let me do so?

    Any thoughts?
