i made a couple of changes for it to work for me:

first of all, the download came dos-formatted, so i had to run dos2unix on it.

then, because i have customised my audacious playlist settings i had to change the lines which split artist and song. my playlist looks like:
${track-number}:${title} ${?album: – ${album}}${?artist: – ${artist}} ${?year: [${year}]}
which produces titles like
1:Everyday – And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out – Yo La Tengo [2000]

and finally, i’m not running lastfmsubmit as daemon, so i just call it for each submission

so here is my scrobble script:

#!/bin/bash

if [ ! -x '/usr/lib/lastfmsubmitd/lastfmsubmitd' ]; then
echo "LastFMSubmitD does not appear to exist on this machine"
echo "You can install it using Apt or Yum"
exit 1
fi
if [ "$#" == 0 ]; then
echo 'Usage: scrobble " - " ""'
exit 1
fi

#ARTIST=${1%% - *}
#SONG=${1##* - }
# andrew has audacious set to print {track}:{Song} - {album} - {artist} [{year}] all this would be better done with sed, but i like trying it in bash
# split $1 and remember everything after the colon
artistsongyear=${1##*:}
# split that and remember everything before the bracked (no good for songs with brackets!)
songalbumartist=${artistsongyear%% [*}
# split that on the dashes which separates song - album - artist
ARTIST=${songalbumartist##* - }
SONG=${songalbumartist%% - *}
songalbum=${songalbumartist#* - }
ALBUM=${songalbum%% - *}
# length is in milliseconds
LENGTH=$[ $2 / 1000 ]
echo "ARTIST = [$ARTIST]"
echo "ALBUM = [$ALBUM]"
echo "SONG = [$SONG]"
echo "LENGTH = [$LENGTH]"

#this will log the song details to /var/spool/lastfm
/usr/lib/lastfmsubmitd/lastfmsubmit --artist "$ARTIST" --title "$SONG" --length "$LENGTH"
# it's made to be run as a daemon, but just as easy to run once
/usr/lib/lastfmsubmitd/lastfmsubmitd

Would it be possible to get a link back to the original entry though if anyone wants the original? Its great that you have improved the functionality even more.

Would it be possible to get a link back to the original entry though if anyone wants the original?

After writing my own script i searched internet for similar and i found yours. Mine has some features like scrobble after 10 seconds and checking if it's running again. You can check it here : http://smali.me/2gb Ned Hey! After writing my own script i searched internet for similar and i found yours.
