Audioscrobbler addon

[remy]

Hi,

I saw a couple of postings saying that people were interested in replicating the Audioscrobbler on their site, and I didn't realise that there would be any interest in this addon, but I've written the addon to do exactly what you're after...I hope...

I use it on my page and I've got Audioscrobbler installed with an active account, and my photoblog about page reads the RSS feed from Audioscrobbler.

Example: http://photoblog.sharpfocusfilms.com/index.php?x=about

The plugin I've written just produces a list of the songs on one line and you style it as you want.

To make it work, you will have to make a manual change to the addon PHP to point it to your Audioscrobbler feed:

Change line 37 of addons/songs.php to the URL of your Audioscrobbler feed (you can get this from your account).

You should also create a directory called: rss_cache in your pixel_post directory.

You can download the addon from: http://photoblog.sharpfocusfilms.com/songs.zip

Unzip the file in your pixel_post directory, then add the <MY_SONGS> to the page you want the songs to appear in.

Sorry I had to upload to the forum - I couldn't see the addons page anymore.

There's a few subtleties to the script but I've tried to build in automatic defence against their servers going down and hanging the page you plug the addon in to.

I'll check this posting if anyone has any questions or issues to see if I can be of any help.

Remy.

YEAH!

i was looking for that soo long, thanks a lot!

[remy]

Hey! No one taking the Mickey out of my song list! Just because I like Dire Straights :-)

[myeviltwin]

is it possible to expand the add-on?
like, top artists, top songs, how many songs played, ...?

would be great!

[remy]

From what I can tell there's no feed for the top artists or songs :-( I know I've seen it on other people's web site, but I've not found it.

Though I am happy to add it if someone can point me in the direction of the feed.
