After receiving more and more questions why lastfm.freedig.org doesn’t work, I will explain what this “This service is currently disabled.” message is all about.

I have my website(s) stored on a shared server with 1GB space. At the moment the badges use about 600MB of this space. As I also have other stuff saved on this server I had to limit the number of badge-registrations to 6250 6000.
If the page says “This service is currently disabled. Please check back later.” that means that currently there are more than 6250 6000 badges.
Badges that haven’t been used for 2 months are deleted every hour. Once the number of badges drops below 6250 6000 you will be able to create new badges.

On my search for a way to submit songs I listen to at pandora.com to my Last.fm - Account I came across two Firefox extensions.

The first one is Harmoy (1.0). It has been a nominee for the Extend Firefox 3 contest and not only supports pandora.com but virtually every player that is supported by FoxyTunes. In addition it provides information about currently playing songs.

The other one is LastFM Firefox Extension. This extension focuses on song submission from your Pandora radio. Optional messages notify you when Pandora plays a new song and when it is submitted to Last.fm.

I made this simple script because it was requested at userscript.org. The script removes the “Library” and “Top Tracks” section from last.fm profile pages.

Install the userscript

Just a few minutes ago I finished my first userscript for Greasemonkey that might be useful for other people too. In case you don’t know what Greasemonkey is, visit the website if you don’t want to miss a great extension for Mozilla Firefox.

This userscript changes the appearance of a last.fm profile page. It replaces the player on the right with the user information in the middle. At least for me this seems to be a better use of space since I don’t use the player anyway.
