##API I added an API file (api.php) for those who want to fetch their currently playing song easily. It supports three return formats, you can toggle them by using the mode parameter. e.g.: http://nowplaying.your-website.com/api.php?mode=xml. ####JSON URL: /api.php?mode=json

{
				"title": "Test The Limits",
				"artist": "The Ghost Inside",
				"album": "Get What You Give",
				"coverUrl": "http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/300x300/77027328.png"
}

####XML URL: /api.php?mode=xml

<nowplaying>
	<title>Test The Limits</title>
	<artist>The Ghost Inside</artist>
	<album>Get What You Give</album>
	<coverUrl>
	http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/300x300/77027328.png
	</coverUrl>
</nowplaying>

####TXT URL: /api.php?mode=txt

now playing: Test The Limits by The Ghost Inside took from Get What You Give

##FAQ ####Why does it take so long to refresh? It gets the new meta information (song, album, artist, cover) every 4 seconds (the background refreshes every 5 seconds) to save the lastfm API from getting overloaded. It's also more reliable when it takes longer. You can change it in index.html if you know, what you're doing. ####How can I change the period of the top artists statistics? Change $periodin lastfm.php to either overall, 7day, 1month, 3month, 6month or 12month. ####I found a bug! email me!

Have fun,
