ipod scrobbling

[seaoss]

I regularly listen to ipod when not at the computer and have downloaded/installed the last.fm client which states you can scrobble plays.
Simply put in username and password so that it knows what account to scrobble to then Tools-->Scrobble ipod
However I have encountered several problems all of which lead to only being able to upload 11 played tracks . In fedora 11, the client would recognise all plays (going back months if not longer!) and i would have to manually toggle those that i wanted to upload (or rather, those i didn't then switch the toggle ) I would have to select 11, scrobble, unplug ipod, reconnect ipod, select next 11 tracks to scrobble and so on until all plays were uploaded == very tedious
Now i am using f12, last.fm now only recognises new plays (==good) but it still only uploads 11 tracks (the latest). So i tried my usual trick, disconnect ipod, reconnect, but this time it came up saying there were no new plays, so i set songbird to play through the tracks that i still needed to scrobble

Any ideas how to fix the issue? All other things i've looked at have been itunes related, but i don't have itunes
