iPhone Scrobbling
So I'm back on iPhone and kind of pissed at iTunes as per usual, especially when it comes to scrobbling (not the rusty shave kind). Although Last.fm's OS X app will scrobble from iTunes desktop app after a sync or something, it's kind of a kludge. Why can't I scrobble directly from the iPhone? Natch, there's an app for that.
I tried a few. Heed my advice that Scrobbulous and iScrobble Premium just aren't worth your money until they sort a few issues out. In the mean-time, my recommendation is to use iScrob because it's the simplest, cleanest looking (especially if you cough up to remove the ads) and most stable app I tested. And it works reliably. And it accesses the iPhone playlists directly so there's no dicking around creating new playlists in the app. It allows you to send your love. It does not allow you to tweet or facebook your listening habits like the other two, but that's no big deal - because iScrob hasn't crashed once - unlike the other two that gave me problems within minutes (this is where I really miss the frictionless Android refund process).
