I use mine in conjunction with two websites...

last.fm, which is a site where you can listen to music on your computer and scrobble tracks, keep track of that information, find out about other artists, etc. Not sure if you use that or not.

progfreak.com, MikeEnRegalia's website, which allows you to simply enter your last.fm name and create a nifty signature based on the data in your last.fm charts.

www.last.fm

Hope that helps! Big%20smile

^ thanks for explaining this to him ... however, in order to get a "recently played albums" sig you can't use last.fm, since they only offer this information for tracks. But you can still use my website and enter the playlist manually ... then you can choose the signature mode "playlist" and have the sig display the recently played albums. It's really not as cumbersome as you might think, since you only have to enter full albums, and entering an album only takes a few seconds. The only "nuissance" is that you also need to rate and tag the album ... but in exchange the information will be added to the playlist. Smile
