Streampad v2 UPDATE: Last.fm Scrobbling Fixed

UPDATE [09/06/14]: 

Bug-fix: Last.fm scrobbling integration.

Fixed a few things with the playlist, artists and titles, and Last.fm now works again. You can click what used to be the Profile button (renamed Last.fm Scrobbler button) to connect your Last.fm account to Streampad and have your listening history scrobbled to Last.fm. Note: only posts with proper artist and track titles will get scrobbled.

(Note: you'll need to delete everything you've copied from previous installations and re-paste the entire code)

Streampad v2 UPDATE: Cross-page Playback

UPDATE [08/28/13]: 

NEW feature: Seamless Cross-page Playback. You can now keep Streampad v2 playing while navigating through your own blog’s pages! No more music resetting for users without infinite scroll! ;) This is enabled by default, but it is still an experimental feature so you may experience some problems. Needless to say, I’ve done almost a week’s worth of testing up to this point so it should be alright, but if you’re having trouble you can turn it off.

Also, I’ve condensed the scripts into one so the copy-and-paste won’t be as large.

(Note: you'll need to delete everything you've copied from previous installations and re-paste the entire code since this introduces another option to your Customization. Or you can add the <meta> tag in manually if you know how.)

Achieved using iframes and HTML5 history.pushState. Everything written in vanilla javascript! Longer explanation will be written in the future when I find spare time.

Tested working in Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari. Internet Explorer  + mobile browsers unsupported/untested.

Streampad v2 Update [June 15, 2013]

Short explanation: If you have the Safari or Opera browser, Streampad v2 should now work properly for you! woot!

I also added a counter for how many songs have loaded so far to the 'Loading Audio Posts...' indicator so that people with large playlists (like thousands of songs) won't be wondering if their player is stuck or something.

Long explanation:

Spent the morning trying to debug streampad on Safari and Opera to figure out why it kept getting stuck at "Loading Audio Posts...", but after visiting the page again it would work, and the songs (which were now in browser cache) would start playing. Turns out it was an error on part when I started removing the scripts which were dynamically loaded via appending. Basically for every 20 or 50 chunk sets of songs on your blog, you request some information from tumblr's servers (via their API) to get things like the song URL, the title, artist, # of plays, etc. and this information is basically thrown into an invisible part of your blog page. However, to prevent clutter I tried to remove this 'pasted' information after all the songs were done loading, but apparently Opera and Safari didn't like it. They couldn't build a playlist without the information staying on the page, as opposed to Firefox and Chrome which could. So to fix it for these two browsers, I disabled the function to clean up this excess information which will just sit on your blog invisibly and do nothing. I don't think you'll notice any difference, but yeah that's so far as the explanation goes.
