Last.fm Recent Album Artwork

Displays the album cover artwork for recently listened to songs via Last.fm.

You are required to have a Last.fm account, and you’ll to be running the iScrobbler application to automatically notify Last.fm of your songs.

What dependancies are there?

1. A Last.fm account.
2. iScrobbler to tell Last.fm what tracks you are listening to.

Can I change the way the artwork is laid out?

Yes. From WordPress admin, Options, Last.fm Recent Albums: change the layout using the ‘HTML format’ option. Valid variables include:

• $album
• $artist
• $artwork – the image tab with the artwork
• $track – the track name
• $url – the Last.fm url to the track (or album).

Where can I get further help?
