    Hello!

    I am looking for a last.fm snipped. Does this already exist? Recent tracs + album art.
    An example of what I am looking for (bottom of the page):

      this isn’t specifically for last.fm, but you can use feedx.

      you can also use it to pull in twitter feeds, flickr feeds, weather feeds, just about anything. it’s really nice.

        Yes, I already thought about using feedx.

        The problem is, that the recent tracks rss of last.fm comes WITHOUT the album art. This means I’ll have to use the api or some other way to get the corresponding album covers.

              Hi!

              This wp-plugin can also be used outside of wordpress. Works pretty well. Would be nice if somebody could build a snipped out of it.

                Hi there...

                it looks like you don’t even need to build a snippet to use it...just download the javascript files, place them in the <head> section of your website + the little javascript posted on that site, and fill in your details in the configuration part, make sure to have a div in your template with a matching id-name -> placeholder: ’yourdivsidnamehere’,
