what?

If you are asking if its possible to use last.fm to keep track of what you play on the zune, then no, its not possible, nor is it practical.
Running a game eats your battery. so to run a game just to listen to music would drain the battery faster then watching a movie.

youll have to rephrase your question if im off the mark.

it would burn through battery extremely quickly, is what im saying.

It writes every song you play to a file, but then what?

you cant export (to my knowledge) game files on the zune, to the pc.
and the game itself cannot write anywhere else besides the game folder.

so no, at this point, its not possible. however, the Zune Social keeps track of what you play, you need a live account, then sign into the account with the Zune Software, and assign that account to your zune.

It may (at some distant point in the future) be possible to use the zune card to report what you are playing to last.fm.
or to 'modify' the zune software to generate a list of what have been playing, then report it to last.fm.

if its hooked up to your comp, then it wouldn't burn through? but if its hooked up on ur usb port and ur playing it through ur zune software, couldn't we create a plugin to use last.fm cause last.fm has plugins for windows media player and winamp that allow it to show artist information on things that play on those programs.. if you wanted it that way, but the social keeps track of em.

Your asking about making a plugin for the Zune Software itself, which has nothing to do with Games.

I don't use last.fm so maybe im missing the point, but what's the point of having a program keeping track of what music you listen to? Wouldn't you already know what music you've been listening to? Unless you have short-term memory loss or something.
