- Download and install SqueezeCenter from Logitech
- Start SqueezeCenter (this automatically started for me)
- Open Winamp or iTunes and connect to http://localhost:9000/stream.mp3
- In iTunes go to Advanced > Open Audio Stream...
- In Winamp to go File > Play URL...
- Once you are connected, open SqueezeCenter (right click on the icon in the system tray and select "Open SqueezeCenter" (this will open in your browser)
- Press the settings button down in the bottom right corner
- Click on the "Advanced" tab
- Select "Last.fm Audioscrobbler" from the drop-down menu
- Enter your credentials and make sure that both drop-downs are set to "Yes..."
- Click the "Apply" button at the bottom right
- Select the "Player" tab
- Select either Winamp or iTunes from the drop-down
- Select "Last.fm Audioscrobbler" from the drop-down next to the player selection
- Enable scrobbling
- Click the "Apply" button at the bottom right
- Now you are set up to route internet radio through SqueezeCenter to your media player and have it scrobble...
- Close the "Settings..." portion of SqueezeCenter
- Leave iTunes/Winamp alone, go to the home page of SqueezeCenter
- Expand Internet Radio at the left
- Choose the station of your choice (I chose to search for a Boston station I like a lot)
- Push the play button on the station you choose
- Audio should start playing through iTunes/Winamp
- Booyeah you're done.
Happy scrobbling.

Great guide but be careful, in step 3 the correct URL to open from your player is "http://localhost:9000/stream.mp3". Took me a while to figure out why it wasn't working.
@ty: Weird. Mine is port 9001. I wonder why. (Maybe because I run a lot of different dev services on my box.) I will revise the guide to read port 9000.

THANK YOU! I have been searching for a method to scrobble internet radio for months now. Pretty stoked to find your tutorial here... it works just fine. :)
Whoop! Thanks for this. SqueezeCenter is now Squeezebox Server but the instructions pretty much worked anyway. Cheers.
