Okay, so the service that I was using (formerly Audioscrobbler) to do the music stuff changed their web services. So, i wrote a new Magpie thing (more or less) from scratch. Source is available at http://rcboyce.com/projects/php/as/audio.txt and is under the same Creative Commons license as the original.
Requires Magpie to interpret the feed.

Step-by step instructions on the Audioscrobbler Wiki.

I also plan on making the projects page have actual info at some point.

Also, you can pick a theme from the dropdown in the sidebar. I actually like k2 a lot, primarily for its Javascript search thingy.
The music script only shows up on this theme (for now). I think I’ll do some modifications to k2 later though.

    I didn’t realise they’d changed their web services, thanks for the heads-up (and the link). :)

    New version of Last.fm “recent tracks” feed parser

    At some point, presumably around the time Audioscrobbler became one with Last.fm, the format of the RSS feed changed, so it’s time for an updated version of my original feed parser. [Requires a PHP-based site.] If it’s something you’ll find…

    ewwwwwwwwwwww. so i saw your first comment, and thought mb it was a joke from someone, and anyway i was jsut curious cuz the name was “hacker” and it didnt necessarily look like comment spam…so i clicked on the name and the front page was like “GAY PORN for adults only” and i freaked. i am so scarred.

    stupid comment spam.
