AJAX and Last.FM powered Spotify plugin

This is a simple plugin created to display what you are currently listening to on Spotify (www.spotify.com) using Last.FM (www.last.fm).

Getting Started

This plugin requires the following:

• Last.FM Account with registered API
• Website with PHP
• Spotify Account (any type)
• Spotify client scrobbling to Last.FM

Jquery/Ajax

You need this code and call it when document loads

function get_spotify() {
	$.ajax({
		type: 'POST',
		url: './last.fm.php',
		data: { request: 'true' },
		success: function(reply) {
			$('.now-playing').html("<p>" + reply + "</p>");
		}
	});
}

You can create your own if you want, this was something I wrote quickly

Configuring

Last.FM.php

$user = "your last.fm username here";

kind of explains it self, in the qoutes add your last.fm username.

$key = "your api key here";

again, self explained you'll get a key from Last.FM API place it here.

$short_titles = false;

If true will trim certain additional text
