An account on last.fm will be needed.
libmad (0.15.1b)

Installation
------------
Make sure, C++ Sockets Library (see dependencies above) is installed properly.
Untar the archive into VDRs plugins source directory.
Create a symlink lastfm.
Adjust compiletime options according to your needs in <vdr/Make.config>
LASTFM_HAVE_MAGICK = 1 : shows albumcovers with ImageMagick

...make clean in lastfm-plugin directory and make plugins from vdr directory.
In order to load the plugin, edit your vdr startscript and add -Plastfm.
The plugin has no commandline parameters.
After using plugin setup in VDR, a file will be created for storing profiles and favourites in <vdrconfig/plugins/lastfm/lastfm_config.xml>
