Last.fm RPS Wordpress Plugin

Description : Its a widget plugin which collects data from Audioscrobbler web services and gets your last listened tracks and their album images. It works in PHP4 platforms and uses my simplexml class to collect data from Audioscrobbler.

Installation : The directory structure should be like this :

 --> wp-plugins/
	|-- lastfm_RPS/
		|-- noart.gif
		|-- simplexml.class.php
		|-- readme.txt
		|-- lastfm.css

Then just activate the plugin, go to Design-Widgets, add the widget where you want, write the username and widget title in the settings and save. That’s all.

Note : If your theme isn’t widget enabled, you can insert this plugin in your sidebar.php file or wherever you want like this :

1
2
3
4

Download : You can get the latest release here : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/lastfm-rps/

Demo : You can see a working example in my homepage.
