Find your last.fm "loved tracks" on your local machine and generate a playlist of them for use in a media player of your choice.

Usable. find-loved can generate m3u-compatible playlist, but the matching of loved tracks to real tracks on disk is pretty lame right now. It'll work ok if your tags line up well with last.fm. When there are multiple matches it takes the file with the oldest "YEAR" tag on disk.

You'll need Leiningen (painless install) unless I ever release a .jar file.

Here are a couple of example invoactions:

lein run overthink ~/music /data/some_other_music /nas/yet/another/dir > loved.m3u
lein run overthink /huge_collection 1>loved.m3u 2>report.txt
lein run --quiet -- overthink /muzak > loved.m3u

More details:

lein run --api-key <your key> <last.fm username> searchdir0 searchdir1 ... searchdirN

Put your api key in ~/.lastfm_api_key and omit --api-key to make it suck less.

Loved tracks for a last.fm user are cached indefinitely in .<last.fm username>_loved_tracks in whatever dir you invoke find-loved in. Delete this file to make it hit last.fm live again.

"It works on my computer."

Loved tracks are cached forever for a user. Delete the .$username_loved_tracks file to clear the cache. It's also easy to get a half-baked cache on disk if you ctrl-c part way through downloading from last.fm. Again, delete the cached file to "fix" this.

Accented characters don't yet match their non-accented counterparts. e.g. "Dial-a-Cliche" won't match "Dial-a-Cliché".
