Scrobble to last.fm from AppleTV
I've recently purchased an AppleTV for my front room to replace my Airport Express, which I had been using to stream music via AirTunes. I love the device, however now that my AppleTV is my main music player i'd noticed that the last.fm app i was using to scrobble my tracks from iTunes on my Mac wasn't taking into account any music i'd played through the AppleTV, but after a bit of searching I found the ideal 3rd party scrobbler app
Scrobblepod
Scrobblepod is free, lightweight, runs in the taskbar and best of all scrobbles music i've played through iTunes, my iPod, iPhone and best of all, my AppleTV. Any music played on the AppleTV is scrobbled to last.fm the next time the device syncs with iTunes.
Customising what you scrobble
Another nice feature i noticed upon using Scobblepod was that via the settings you can also set certain iTunes tracks to be ignored from scrobbling altogether. I have plenty of audiobooks which i'd rather not send to last.fm, so it's a nice touch from the developer and makes this a killer app as far as i'm concerned and very worthy of a mention.
