but it feels very interesting so I'll add this to the wish list.
James, if you are seeing this.
It looks like the stations for similar artists always is
"artist/<artist>/similarartists". Do you think it is safe to assume
this is actually the case and use the available CLI command in the
LastFM plugin for playing such station ?
Or should I use the station returned from the similarArtistSearch
function in the LastFM plugin ?
In that case would it be possible to add a CLI command to LastFM plugin
for playing a similar artist station based on an artist name, or as an
alternative, would you like a patch for this ?
By the way, I had to change a row in the similarArtistSearch function
to get the LastFM plugin similar artists functionality to actually work
(version 2.1.3):
Code:
--------------------
my $url = "http://www.last.fm/listen/artist/$searchString/similarartists";;
