Scrobbler¶ ↑

Scrobbler is a wrapper for the audioscrobbler web services (www.audioscrobbler.net/data/webservices/).

Currently updating to use the 2.0 API. It is very much a work in progress.

Below is just a sampling of how easy this lib is to use, full documentation of all functions is available at rdoc.info/projects/xhochy/scrobbler

Scrobbler::Base.api_key = 'foo123'

user = Scrobbler::User.new('jnunemaker')

puts "#{user.username}'s Recent Tracks"
puts "=" * (user.username.length + 16)
user.recent_tracks.each { |t| puts t.name }

puts
puts

puts "#{user.username}'s Top Tracks"
puts "=" * (user.username.length + 13)
user.top_tracks.each { |t| puts "(#{t.playcount}) #{t.name}" }

artist.similar.each { |a| puts "(#{a.match}%) #{a.name}" }

geo.events(:location => 'Manchester').each { |e| puts "(#{e.id}) #{e.title}" }

puts

puts 'Top Artists'
puts "=" * 10
geo.top_artists(:location => 'Manchester').each { |a| puts "(#{a.name}) #{a.playcount}" }

puts

puts 'Top Tracks'
