Playing last.fm radio
Playing last.fm radio
Hi, is it possible to play Last.fm radio stations on VLC? I'm talking about the kind of radio stations where you specify an artist's name or whatnot and it picks music from similar artists; when the track's done it moves on to another one. I'm not interested in scrobbling, just playing radio.

No, we weren't allowed by last.fm, so we didn't do it.

Re: Playing last.fm radio
Oh right, didn't know Last.fm didn't allow it. Makes sense of course.
There is a GMPC plugin which creates a session with Last.fm allowing it to be played through MPD:

Which AFAIK is OK since it works similar to how a browser would, although presumably with that the raw contents could be dumped as well (which presumably wouldn't be OK).

Re: Playing last.fm radio
So basically, there's no way to listen to Last.fm through VLC.
Why weren't you allowed? For example, foobar2000 has the foo_lastfm_radio component, which works fine. Why was that allowed? Is there anything like that for VLC?

Sorry to bother you but I'm still looking for a final answer on this. Why was foobar2000's foo_lastfm_radio allowed? Is there something like it for VLC?
