As if the excitement of finally having my entire music library uploaded to Google’s media cloud service, Google Music Beta, after several days of impatient waiting wasn’t enough, I’m now scrobbling my tracks with last.fm. And the great news is that setting it up was an incredibly simple process that took less than 60 seconds. I simply followed the instructions over at Rethinking Thought.

As for mobile scrobbling, we’re still on hold.
