emms-lastfm-client.el lives!

Streaming music from Last.fm, showing which track is playing and
skipping to the next track now work in a friendly manner. More
importantly the initial, one-time authentication is now documented in
the file header and relatively painless.

It should be pretty buggy since it hasn't been tested for any
significant amount time. More features, bug fixes to come.

$ git clone http://yrk.nfshost.com/repos/emms-yrk.git

The existing emms-lastfm.el and emms-last-played.el are defunct but are
useful for me to see what features to implement in
emms-lastfm-client.el.

Any objections to me installing emms-lastfm-client.el in git.sv.gnu.org
in the near future?

emms-last-played.el seems irrelevant here?

It would be good to have.  Although I haven't been using it for the
passed months, this would drive me to have another try.

flac help

I'm trying to setup emms to listen to my flac library but first I 
figured I'd get things working with the mp3 library.

I configured emms as:

(require 'emms-setup)
(emms-standard)
(emms-default-players)

(setq emms-source-file-directory-tree-function 
'emms-source-file-directory-tree-find
       emms-source-file-default-directory "/mnt/data/audio/mp3/")

(emms-add-directory-tree "/mnt/data/audio/mp3")

where the mp3 hierarchy as some 13000 plus .mp3 files organized by 
artist/album/track*.mp3

When I type M-x emms it am put into the *EMMS Playlist* buffer with all 
gazillion tracks.  The tracks are of the form:

/mnt/data/audio/mp3/'Til Tuesday/0J00-80's Pop Hits (disc 1)/12 - Voices 
Carry.mp3
/mnt/data/audio/mp3/'Til Tuesday/6A19-Voices Carry/01 - Love In A Vacuum.mp3
/mnt/data/audio/mp3/'Til Tuesday/6A19-Voices Carry/02 - Looking Over My 
Shoulder

which I take to mean that the files are not being "grokked" by emms to 
the extent that the lines are not being converted to a nice format.

The variable `emms-info-functions' defines which functions run to get
the track info. Emms calls command line tools to get track information.
You can check to see what your `emms-info-functions' contains and if you
have mp3info installed on your system.

You can also opt for using `emms-info-libtag' as your sole provider of
track info. See the comments in the header of lisp/emms-info-libtag.el
for more details.

Excellent.  After installing mp3info and mpg321 emms is providing joy. 
Does emms cache the file name to track info associations?  With 
thousands and thousands of tracks I'd rather that emms not recompute all 
this data each time I startup my emms Emacs instance. Also, how can I 
best discern the functions (and external programs) that emms wants/needs 
to support flac format.  Maybe I should read the info page and come back 
... good idea.

Thanks,

I've pushed it to Savannah and included it in emms-setup under
'emms-devel. Once it is feature-laden and stable enough to move to
'emms-all I'll update the manual.
