Song listings
While waiting for the kernel to compile (for the diskless client which is supposed to become the MythTV frontend for my home theatre installation), I added a plug-in for this site that lists the songs I’m listening to right now (or almost). At home, I’m using amaroK which is a very nice media player for Linux (with support for CD covers and lyrics), and at work it’s Winamp. Both can be configured to send song data to last.fm which can then be retrieved by other little utilities just like this plug-in to be integrated into websites and such. It’s not perfect though (I’d like more info like when the song was played, to be able to configure the number of songs to be displayed, to have it display else where), but for the moment it’s quite OK.
Now you can be astonished by my very eclectic musical taste! 
Although I really don’t understand people and their need to put their music collection on an MP3 player (although it should Ogg Vorbis anyway!). I am listening to my couple-of-gigabytes big collection less and less because it started to bore me. I find myself much more often listening to online radio stations, such as digitally imported, or when I can manage it Deutschlandfunk, or Die Zeit podcasts (oh yes, Christian :-)). The problem with these though is that last.fm won’t recognize these “untagged” tracks or streams. Oh well.
Ah, the kernel compilation has finished …
