Hello.

Someone (Dan Lynch) has a thread/blog/whatever running I seen via 
LinuxToday about libre.fm.  I gather you are looking for data.  
His article:
  
http://danlynch.org/blog/2009/05/libre-followup/comment-page-1/#comment-1865

suggests using a python script, which happens to be sensitive to 
which version of beautifulsoup you run.  On my machine, the soup 
curdled.  Too much Perl code maybe?  Anyway, is there a 
description somewhere, of just how you download this stuff from 
last.fm, and what you need (I gather no duplicates).

Apparently Dan had 10,000 songs, and it took him an hour to upload 
the data.  I have no doubt he has a faster connection than I do, 
and I have 300,000 songs to upload, if you want something this 
big.  I could easily run this on nice at low priority, or split 
it into parts, or whatever.

But having some idea as to how I am going to download the 5600 
pages of tracks information would be a nice start.  If nothing 
else, I'll edit the thing in emacs once I get it here.

Thanks,
Gord
