Sharing Your Music

You can automatically update your online Audioscrobbler profile with the music you listen to in Helix Banshee. This lets others see what you are listening to, and gives you access to charts detailing your listening history. If you join groups such as the Banshee Group, you can also see what other people are listening to.

Before you can share your music, you need to enable the Audiosrobbler plug-in and enable song reporting.

  1. In Helix Banshee, click Edit+Plugins.

  2. Select the check box to the right of Audioscrobbler in the left column.
