FAQ

Where can I get an API key for use with Last FM?

Use the following URL: http://www.last.fm/api/account/create

Where can I get support for the plugin?

Support is primarily available on Kieran O’Shea’s forum.
A wealth of questions and answers are available here along with a copy of this FAQ. The support forum is located away from WordPress because
at the time the original plugin was authored, the WordPress support forums didn’t provide an easy way to be notified of posts and manage things.
Recently things have changed in this regard and so the WordPress support forums for Last FM are also monitored from time to time.

Where can I request a feature?

Please use the support forums mentioned above, adding your request to the feature requests thread

This thing just works. When I had an issue of it not working, all I had to do was disconnect my Spotify account from Last.FM and reconnect it and blammo – started working again.

One of the plugins I have liked the most, being a music lover, is Last.FM Live, which has unfortunately being left to die. This plugin is getting there but there were two things that made is such a charm: the „now playing“ little icon and album covers. It’s boring to see just another list on the sidebar. It would really stand up if you could make it work to show the album covers to give it more life.

Simple and works like a charm, easy to customize. I included the script in the template files for my personal website.

Calling all regular Last FM users! If you haven’t done so already, please take the time to review the plugin here If you have a problem, issue or question, please post in the forums first before rating the plugin negatively – most things can be sorted out either through communication or a new release!
