Last.fm Loved Tracks RSS Feed
October 2008: As of this month, last.fm have started providing an official RSS feed for loved tracks (Thanks Anil!). My homebrew feed, the original subject of this article, will be retired at some point in the near future in favour of the official feed.
The Official Feed

My Original Homebrew Approach
Ever wondered why last.fm don’t provide an RSS feed of your loved tracks*? Me too. So using the freely available audioscrobbler web services i’ve created a very basic last.fm loved tracks feed which. The main reason for doing so was to update twitter with my loved tracks via twitterfeed. The feed can be called with the following syntax:
http://jamazon.co.uk/last.love/user/[last.fm username]/feeds/[feed type (rss|atom|opml)]
It’ll work with any valid last.fm username.
Here’s mine:

* last.fm now provide an official RSS feed of loved tracks. If you somehow missed the massive notice at the top of this page, scroll back up and read it.

This script is really good man.
But you could offer some assistance in “styling” it. I’d like my stream to be on a website with all other streams from sites. And i want the Last.fm one to appear like twitter. where i can style it etc..
How would i do this with last?
