Well it didn’t take to long but my last.fm/WP plugin has been updated. I noticed that the audiocrobbler network added more feed variations of their ‘recently played tracks’ feeds, in particular, one that parsed the artist name and song title for you. So with this new info I decided to give the plugin a little bit of a change.
Instead of being just saying what HTML code you want at the start and end of each track listed, I’ve now added a template system so you can now specify how each track is listed in more detail. Previously you were only given the track in a ‘artist – title’ format and I had to parse the info myself, but now that they’ve done the parsing for you, you can more easily specify how to show the %artist% and %title% info, but I didn’t stop there… I’ve added two other tags, the %date% tag which allows you to show exactly when you played the song (in the format you choose thanks to the date() function) and a %minutes_ago% tag which will say how many minutes ago the track was played.
But enough of me talking about it… get it today and see for yourself of awesome this plugin is!!
update: it’s been updated to 0.21 beta, man that was quick
