myLast.fm Plug-In

Well as you may or may not know, I've been a loving member of the Last.fm community since 2004. I've added the Scrobbler plug-in to Shock 3 and now I'm adding it to AIM 6.x. This new plug-in doesn't add songs to your profile like Shock's plug-in does. It reads them instead, reads them and inserts them into your AIM User Profile wherever %lastfm% is positioned.

A brief example of what I'm talking about is:

Hello,

My name is Allen and i'm Listening to %lastfm%


When a user views your profile it will show up as:

Hello,

My name is Allen and i'm Listening to Tool - Jambi


Get it? Good!

This plug-in will SOON be released under the MIT OpenSource license. The reason why it cannot be released now, is because AIM is being slow about giving me an Unlimited user key. Which in this case would be needed very strongly.

Oh, by the way, the plug-in will be listed on Last.fm!

Shock 3 will be updated soon, don't worry ;) Give it another month. (hah)
