About
-----
A script that lets you quickly check what artists are similar to those
that you already have in your playlist. The script uses last.fm's suggestions
feature without making you leave the Amarok interface.
This script will create links directly to the Last.fm page of the artist, and you don't have to be currently listening to anything to query last.fm for similar artists. Also, you can have the script list only artists that are not already in your collection... to make it even easier to find new music.
The default number of links to show is 12, but this can be changed using the configure option in the script manager.
BUGS/TODO
---------
- Recently updated for amarok 1.4.2 probably won't work with the older versions anymore (different database layout)
- Some Non-ascii/Higher-characters wierdness converting from unicode
to whatever encoding the database uses
Installing
----------
Use the built-in script installer for amarok on the tarball.
Requirements
------------
- amaroK
- Python 2.4 or greater
- DCOP Support: Either pydcop or the dcop command line application
- [INCLUDED] scrobxlib: python library for last.fm
- [INCLUDED] amklib: python library for amarok scripts
LICENCE
-------
BSD
NOTE: If you find bugs, please email me. Thanks :-)

BTW other scripts downloaded through the Amarok Script manager did work.
Maybe upload another to them?

It sounds like the file might be corrupted. The correct md5sum is 16f653522a775eafed74561afc0b20b6.
If you still have problems please send me an email (its on my profile page).

I ran into some problems with this, though...
The tarball is actually a .tar.bz2.gz, and so amarok wouldn't install it. I had to ungzip it, and rename it.
Secondly, I'm running amarok 1.4.1, and it complains that I need amarok 1.4 upwards, and so it won't work.

I've fixed the error message to include the proper version for the script & amarok.
I like the built-in suggestions feature, but it doesn't really help when you want info a the song that's not currently playing... plus the script links directly to last.fm, which I use a lot.

I don't know javascript very well so it may take a few releases before it gets in....

Is it the same suggested songs feature as in 1.3.5?
I don't want to duplicate what the developers are doing if I don't have to. :-)

I always appreciate feedback.
I already found a new bug with artists with xml entities in the url. I will hopefully fix and upload a new version of it sometime this week.
