Alternative for Biography View?

Hey guys,

I'm a newbie when it comes to components. But I recognized that "Biography View 0.4.2.4" doesn't load any images and bios from last.fm any longer. I think this one of the "must-have-plugins" for foobar and should stay alive.
Is there any option to still get images and bios from the artists, most desirable from last.fm, would be great?

Thank you guys. ;)

Try marc2000's jcript Last.fm Bio and Thumbs script for artist images.

Since it scrapes the Last.fm website, it will continue to work until Last.fm change the underlying html. I've not had to change anything since I stopped sharing the script so it should work for anyone who has a copy.

Edit:  Deleted WSH files and its working fine.

There has been a new script posted since this thread was started. Wilb has written a new script for JScript Panel. Looks like it does last.fm / allmusic / images all within the same panel.
