Saw the tweets about the scrobbling feature in the meantime. Thanks, it's working now. It looks like it's not using the "Now playing" feature [0] though, any specific reason for that?

Another question: Is there a reason why it's not possible to resize the window? Some tracks are cut off and it'd be more comfortable to have a little bit wider window because the long track names are not scrolling by so you never see them.

Apart from that, enjoying the app so far! Thanks.

Anthony, founder of Hype Machine here.

We used to have the Now Playing Last.fm support, but took it out as Last.fm faded from the spotlight a few years ago.

It's still one of my favorite services (scrobbling is life-changing) though, but we aren't even sure if it's worth the overhead to keep the Now Playing support active (requires more resources).

The Hype Machine team would probably have to be the ones to program in "Now playing", they handle all the last.fm api stuff.

Good question. For now the track name will scroll horizontally like itunes (down at the bottom by the play controls). This is really high up on the to-do list.

Thanks for the notes.
