Thanks to ACUK over at Jaiku.com I now have a working Last.fm player on my N95 8GB.
Its called Blastfm and can be downloaded from M3Solutions , but there is a trick to installing on your N95 8GB, don’t install on the internal memory.
Yes, you heard me right, don’t install on the internal memory, install instead on the mass storage memory. I don’t know why it doesn’t work installing to the internal, but who cares.
The blastfm.sis file will install 3 seperate applications, Python for S60, S60 Internet Radio and finally Blastfm.
First run blastfm and add your username & password and select an artist to play, then once connected open the S60 Internet Radio app and select the ‘Last.fm’ station. Now go back to the blastfm app and you will be able to see & hear what song is playing.
Be aware this is a 128k stream in the S60 Internet Radio player so ensure you have a unlimited data plan or you can use over wifi.

Oh Vincent I did and also noticed the very nice message waiting for me on last.fm. Thanks very much.
Installed everything to the memory card. Opened BlastFm and put in my account details. Chose connection via WiFi – it then closed. Internet radio app works OK – but doesn’t show the BlastFm station. Every time I open BlastFm it closes immediately. Installed on a N95.

Is it possible to use it on a Nokia E90? Trying to install it gives Certificate error. I’ve also tried by signing it with a developer certificate, but another Certificate error is given… any hope to get it working?
Thanks!
I’m running the app on my E90 but cannot get it to hook into my Last.fm stations.
THX– ItĀ“s very nice to get last on my N95-2, but is there no volume control?
… ok sry I found it.. joystick left-right.. hm.. KEWL!!
Yeah, Iuse this app on my N95. It works great. I only have one problem: I cant cange the artist without restarting both applications.
When I first install blastfm and was running over Wifi I was able to SKIP tracks and see the next rack image, but when I switched to 3G I lost that ability and never got it back over Wifi or 3G.
As the first Last.fm player for the S60 this is a good attempt, but could be made much much better. I just hope the developer is working hard at an update to it.
This application has become unresponsive due to changes to the API server side. I do not have time myself to fix it but if anyone wants to have a go then the source code is available in SourceForge
http://sourceforge.net/projects/blastfm/
The problem is that the Shoutcast stream no longer changes when tuning/skipping etc. Instead last.fm now serves an .xspf playlist. Any solution will need to process this and probably perform its own streaming.

Yes. Mobbler seems to do the job. Can’t wait for the source code.
I have a n95 but for music always using nokia 6300 since its player is much more powerful ..Is it possible to make a somewhat simple scrobbler for those type of phones please ?
Can i download it to Nokia N95?
yes you can download to the N95, but I wouldn’t bother as Mobbler is a much better Last.fm client for N95. Download from http://code.google.com/p/mobbler/
Thanks, gerrymoth! Mobbler works great on the Nokia E90
