Description

From a user email:

When you release the next update, could you set up the autoscrobbler so that when I assign 5 stars to a track via Synergy, it automatically "Loves" the track on Last.fm?

According to the Last.fm API listing there is a Track.Love API in order to do this:

Love a track for a user profile. This needs to be supplemented with a scrobbling submission containing the 'love' rating (see the audioscrobbler API).

Params

  • track (Required): A track name (utf8 encoded)
  • artist (Required): An artist name (utf8 encoded)
  • api_key (Required): A Last.fm API key.
  • api_sig (Required): A Last.fm method signature. See authentication for more information.
  • sk (Required): A session key generated by authenticating a user via the authentication protocol.

Comments

    From the scrobbling API 1.2.1 page:

    r[0]=<rating>

    A single character denoting the rating of the track. Empty if not applicable.

    L Love (on any mode if the user has manually loved the track). This implies a listen.

    B Ban (only if source=L). This implies a skip, and the client should skip to the next track when a ban happens.

    S Skip (only if source=L)

    Note: Currently, a web-service must also be called to set love/ban status. We anticipate that this will be phased out soon, and the submission service will handle the whole process.
