Get Track's Top Tags from Last.fm

I am using tags from last.fm to generate playlists.

At the moment, I am able to get last.fm tags using Picard (last.fm plus plugin).
I would prefer to just use Foobar for everything music related and stop using picard (or other apps). It makes everything simple for me.

I guess all I want is to add a function in the context menu:

"Utilities/Get Track Top Tags From Last.fm"

Then, after I click it, it saves the tags on a field of my choosing (eg. %tags_lastfm%).


How do you add this functionality in Foobar?
Or if someone has done this, can you share how it's done?

I forgot to post my modified version of this in the wsh discussion.

Get Track's Top Tags from Last.fm

Thanks! I appreciate the replies.

Is there a way to quickly edit the code to use "track.getTopTags" instead of "track.getInfo"?

Also, how do we set it to automatically overwrite %LASTFMTOPTAGS% each time?
Tags are living things and changes from time to time.


I would love to do the coding myself, but I don't know how to code. So I hope this isn't asking too much.

Here you go.

+ Uses track.getTopTags.
+ Added option to overwrite. (right-click panel and in properties set to "on" or "off"

You should modify LargeFieldsConfig.txt (located in foobar2000 directory) and change defaultMetaMax to a higher value eg 5000.
# Size limit for meta fields that do not appear in either list
defaultMetaMax=5000
 
Code: [Select]
// ==PREPROCESSOR==
// @name "Lastfm track.getTopTags LASTFMTOPTAGS Tag (11-08-2015)"
// @author "zeremy"
// @feature "v1.4"
// @feature "watch-metadb"
// ==/PREPROCESSOR==

// In WSH panel properties (right-click panel) add your lastfm api key.
// Auto mode "ON" gets and writes LASTFMTOPTAGS on playback start. 
// Overwrite mode "ON" will overwrite existing LASTFMTOPTAGS with new.

var api_key = window.GetProperty("LastFM api key", "");
var auto = window.GetProperty("Auto Mode  [on/off]", "on");
var overwrite = window.GetProperty("Overwrite Tags [on/off]", "on");
var maxitems = window.GetProperty("Max Items", "100");

Tags are living things and changes from time to time.

I think of tags the same way .Tags can be used to express what we feel about the song or some memories we have related to that song, which can be used to create quick playlists or find the song you want to listen quickly.So I add them in my local tags whenever possible.
But lastfm api has some options
Code: [Select]
Track.addTags
Album.addTags
Artist.addTags

to add them in their service , since it's very unlikely to go to song's page and add them there
it'll be very nice to do it via a script so we'll have some good, more accurate tags from lastfm
I'm trying to make a script but this academic year is not giving me much free time to work with so it's going very slowly

^those methods need authentication and the last.fm API docs are incomprehensible. if you need help with it, just give me a shout and i'll point you in the right direction.

That would be really helpful 
Actually all i did was tinker this script from zeremy to add tags via input box .Your new artist recommendation script uses authentication so i guess i can use that to get api_sig ,sk parameters .I know i can use your lastfm.post to do this but no clear idea :/
