Streaming LastFM with Vagalume on the N900

Unfortunately since NokiaAddict.com went down, so did the instructions on how to import the settings for Vagalume to work with LastFM and LibreFM. Here’s what you’ll need to do;

1). Log into your Last.FM account and then click the following link; http://www.last.fm/api/account - you’ll see your API key and your secret key. Leave the window open.

2). Open up notepad/nano/gedit/leafpad of whatever favorite editor that stores newlines properly and paste the following, and replace the obvious entries;

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<servers version="1" revision="1">
  <server>
    <name>Last.fm</name>
    <ws_base_url>http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/</ws_base_url>
    <rsp_base_url>http://post.audioscrobbler.com/</rsp_base_url>
    <api_key>YOURKEYGOESHERE</api_key>
    <api_secret>YOURSECRETGOESHERE</api_secret>
    <old_streaming_api>0</old_streaming_api>
    <free_streams>0</free_streams>
  </server>
</servers>

3). Save it as LastFM.xml and transfer it to your N900 - preferably to the MyDocs/.documents if from SCP/SFTP or the Documents folder, if you’re browsing some USB Mass Storage.

4). Open up Vagalume, hit the top bar and select “Import servers file”. Now you can browse to the Documents folder (or wherever you stored the XML file) and import it. Done.

 

Now you can use LastFM scrobbling and streaming from your N900. You can also use mafw-lastfm to scrobble from the built-in media player. It also supports offline caching.
