Foobar2000 and Last.fm not working? Solution here.

Foobar2000 is a great music player, and Last.fm is a great music service. And they can be used together with a foobar2000 plugin called foo_lastfm_radio. Unfortunately, it no longer works as you will get a 403 Forbidden error. At least for those outside US, UK, and Germany, where Last.fm is absolutely free.

The solution is pretty simple.

All you need to do is open foobar2000, go to File > Preferences > Advanced and look under Networking. Uncheck the checkbox "Allow seeking over HTTP" and hit Apply.

Now you should be able to use foo_lastfm_radio. It's that simple.

For those unfamiliar with all these stuff,

• foobar2000 is a freeware music player with extensive support for plugins.
• Last.fm is an online music tracking service that learns your music preference based on what you hear on your device and generates a radio based on that.
• foo_lastfm_radio is a plugin for foobar2000 that allows you to stream Last.fm radios.
• To let Last.fm to track your music, you'll need to install foo_audioscrobbler into foobar2000.
