Hi, Heres an early christmas present for everyone, I've written a fairly simple last.fm plugin for Zinf. A quick summary of last.fm (used to be called audioscrobbler) for those of you who have never heard of it (taken from their website): "Join the social music revolution at Last.fm. It's fun, it's free, it's all about the music. You get your own online music profile that you can fill up with the music you like. This information is used to create a personal radio station and to find users who are similar to you. Last.fm can even play you new artists and songs you might like. It's addictive, it's growing, it's free, it's music." -- http://www.last.fm Basically, the plugin submits what music you listen to, then last.fm works out what other music you might like, based on what other people who like the same music listen to. The plugin is avaliable from my arch repository as david <at> thepriorities.com-2005/zinf--(Continue reading)lastfm--0.1 It uses a copy of libscrobbler (released under GNU from last.fm) to actually talk with the servers. To get it to work, you need to compile with --enable-experimental (it uses musicdb to get track metadata), then add lastfm.ui to SecondryUIs in
