Just found and tried out this component: Amazing!

One small request: Is it possible to use %track artist% insted of %album artist% for the "open %artist%'s station" command? I have many compilations where the command is named "Open Various Artists's station" and retrieves and empty playlist (accompanied by an error message popup).

Somehow I enabled the Last.fm playlist lock and can't figure out how to disable it. Anybody care to help me out? I'd like to be able to add albums from my library too when I feel like it :[

Do you have only a single playlist open, which the component has locked? If so, create a new playlist, and close the old one.

Could you please set the focus to the text box when the "Open a custom station" window is opened?  Currently it is set to the drop down box, so it is necessary to click into the text box before I start typing.  I always forget to do this.

The tab key works too.

If I changed it the tab ordering would be less convenient, as you would have to shift-tab to go back to the drop down list after opening the dialog. (Either that or the tab-order would not be left to right, top to bottom.)

I like it the way it is.

Well, I think most people use the mouse with drop-down boxes.  But I respect your decision.

If I were you I'd never decide for other users. E.G. I am using keyboard exclusivelly and cant use mouse at all. I am afraid this is why many accessibility issues arise because people used to mouse are unable to respect those who cant use mouse.

Well, sorry I beg to differ.

When you select an item in the first drop-down, the content of the second box changes and is selected: typing something at this point seems really natural, but this not only won't work, but can result in a change of the first selection (depending on what characters you type).

I always found it a bit annoying: no big deal of course, but you can hardly call this behaviour "usable" or "accessible", regardless of the input device.

Regards (and apologies for my English).

Ok, that I agree with. I've uploaded a new version with a small change to this. (Selection change in the first drop-down now doesn't select content of second. Note that the focus behaviour is the same as before; this is purely a visual change.)

The context menu change ojdo requested is also included.

Hi nausea.

Not exactly what I was hoping for, but thanks for listening.

I came across this addon when I was faffing around with the lastfm python proxy. This is a helluva lot more useful.

Will there be a contextual menu option added to 'love' a track? That would be appreciated.

You can use the audioscrobbler component for that.  (I haven't tried the unofficial one, it works with the official client.)

Whenever i add a custom station using Tags and add more than one tag, separated by a comma, I get this error:

Error retrieving Last.fm radio playlist: The station is not available for streaming.


Does anybody know a fix?

The component may be presenting incorrect information. I expect I read somewhere that multiple tags could be comma separated, but didn't think to check (or rather an earlier version of the component didn't report the error and simply used the previous station to populate the new playlist and I didn't realise).

The component internally creates a last.fm url in the form lastfm://globaltags/<tag>. I'll do some more research into how to use multiple tags, or indeed if it is even possible, and update the component accordingly when I get a chance.

Thanks for the bug report.

Wow, thanks so much

Another thing I noticed is that when you play a song, there is a delay and when it actually starts, the first few seconds are often cut off.

First i want to thank you for that amazing plugin. it allows me to listen to lastfm using my favorite player and to show it on the desktop using CAD.
Yet i have to feature requests:
1) Could you save the cover art of the playing track in a file somewhere like lastfm.jpg. That would allow us to show the art in CAD, artwork viewer panels and even use it as avatar in IM messengers.
2) coud you add menu items for love and ban?

Thank you

It would be a great feature.

How do we use the custom fields "fan" and "track"? I haven't found a query that has worked with either field yet.

Great plugin, though. Is "fan" supposed to list the top few tracks by a single artist? Because that would be a great feature.

I get that too sometimes. 

Anyway, great plugin, thanks!

Hi. First, thank you so much for do this plugin .
Now I have a question. How can I put album art from lastfm in foobar? This is what I have:

Code: [Select]
$imageabs2(180,180,,,,,0,0,/foolars\nocover.png,)
$imageabs2(180,180,,,,,0,0,C:\Archivos de Programa\foobar2000\Portadas\%artist% - %album%.jpg,NOKEEPASPECT)
$imageabs2(180,180,,,,,0,0,C:\Archivos de Programa\foobar2000\Portadas\%album%.jpg,NOKEEPASPECT)
$imageabs2(180,180,,,,,0,0,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)cover.jpg,NOKEEPASPECT)
$imageabs2(180,180,,,,,0,0,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)folder.jpg,NOKEEPASPECT)
$imageabs2(180,180,,,,,0,0,/foolars\case.png,nokeepaspect)

What must I add?

(Please forgive my English, )

last.fm covers are embedded into the file, you can only show them with artwork view panel from columns UI.
But you can have a last.fm logo or nocover image shown:
query for finding out if item is last.fm track:
$if($stricmp('FOO_LASTFM',$left(%path%,10))
(code by br3tt)

The covers aren't embedded into the files. The playlists Last.fm provides contain a URL to the image on the net which the component makes accessible through the relevant parts of the foobar2000 SDK (which the default UI and columns UI artwork view panel both use).

The next version will have an advanced preference to download the images to a user defined location.

I was wondering though, do the third party album art components accept http locations? If they do, I could easily provide a tag containing the URL of the image for them to use.
