If you use Last.FM however, support for it and other Linux media players is limited via the default Last.FM plugin. You can’t scrobble tracks that are in an Itunes server (DAAP) for example. As usual, the free software community comes to the rescue the New Style Last.FM plugin. Tracks are sent to the Linux Last.FM client and is forwarded to the server. Great stuff! The plugin page has repositories to download a whole Rhythmbox package. The Ubuntu repository only hosts a 32bit version of Rhythmbox so if you are on an AMD64 platform, you can download this build AMD64 build from here.

Remember to disable the old plugin. You also need to have the Linux client for Last.FM already installed from their website or from their apt repository.

Cheers!
