The newest version of the VLC media player isn’t ready for the streets yet, but if you’re they type who doesn’t mind risking your precious personal for the sake of satisfying a primal curiosity for experimental software, the pre-release of VLC 0.9.0 is now available for both Windows and Mac. Unfortunately, anybody with a Windows 98/ME or OS X 10.3.9 machine is out luck since such technology is no longer socially acceptable as those operating systems are no longer supported.
It now supports Last.fm (AKA Audioscrobbler) straight out of the box disk image, so it’ll update your Last.fm account as you play music through VLC. To enable Last.fm support in the 0.9.0 release, enter your username in the preferences pane under Audioscrobber, but don’t forget to visit Control interfaces to check the box labeled “Submission of played songs to Last.fm.”
Other changes also include superior tag support, more subtitle support, improved mouse gestures, album art support, Shoutcast Television listings, and a lot more that we don’t want to bore you with, but you’re more than welcome to check out the whole list on the VLC forums.
