It looks like http://last.fm has an XML/RSS feed that I can use (along with some HTML they provide that links to a .gif image with a list of recently played tracks. Doesn't update too fast though it looks like...) to show the most recent tracks...perhaps i could use XML::Twig for this...

The XML is a LOT simpler for this site:

<recenttracks user="dhoss">
&#8722;
    <track>
<artist mbid="777a21a8-0d0f-4cf3-86b4-65bc0eba5649">Staind</artist>
<name>Everything Changes</name>
<mbid/>
&#8722;
    <url>
http://www.last.fm/music/Staind/_/Everything+Changes
</url>
<date uts="1163436933">13 Nov 2006, 16:55</date>
</track>
&#8722;
    <track>
<artist mbid="">The Smashing Pumpkins</artist>
<name>1979</name>
<mbid/>
&#8722;

</url>
<date uts="1163436668">13 Nov 2006, 16:51</date>
</track>

    <track>
<artist mbid="">Yellowcard</artist>
<name>Gifts and Curses</name>

</url>
<date uts="1163436360">13 Nov 2006, 16:46</date>
</track>
&#8722;
    <track>
<artist mbid="">Rascal Flatts</artist>
<name>What Hurts The Most</name>
<mbid/>
&#8722;

</url>
<date uts="1163435904">13 Nov 2006, 16:38</date>
</track>
</recenttracks>

Or, I could even parse the even simpler CSV file:

1163436933,Staind – Everything Changes
1163436668,The Smashing Pumpkins – 1979
1163436360,Yellowcard – Gifts and Curses
1163435904,Rascal Flatts – What Hurts The Most

meh.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


go ahead... be a heretic
