Sander and I are thinking about adding last.fm support to QtMPC. This since the interface for requesting album covers, artist/album info is so much easier then the amazon-api.

For this we found a nice library: libmaia. Beside a small bug I found (which reminds me I have to report it upstream). This works very well. I browsed a little trough the source and it is pure Qt so it won’t limit the platforms QtMPC can run on.

Now of course last.fm support does not limit us to retrieving album covers. We can also submit the played songs to last.fm so the users can keep scrobbling. Now the only thing I could not figure out if submitting played songs can also be done trough XML-RPC? Is there anyone with experience in this are that can tell me if it is possible?

Other than this we are waiting for MPD 0.14, which will include idle (event) support, before go coding like crazy on QtMPC again. This since events will require a change in QtMPC. Good change which will allow QtMPC to have much less wake ups. Which is generally a good thing.

Of course we still do bug fixes.

After more than an era of inactivity and a switch of webhost i decided it was time to post again.
And well Lowlands was a good time. Nice people there. Again

After a very short waiting line for the terrain everything went smooth. We had a nice camp (wich we defenden with out lives for the people that came later).
Anyway this year we had lots of fun, lots of beer, and well uhn sunday lots of rain but we survived (mainly because of the bear).

Anyway hope to see you all next year!

So i missed the concert a few days ago in Holland. So kinda depressed now, not planing on jumping of a building. But maybe jumping from the chair or something just to get it out of my system. Or shave myself. No cutting because it hurts but i can say that i had a knive on my neck or something. Just to get it all out of my System. But that was not what i wanted to talk about.

I wanted to celebrate the fact that i got tickets for the other concert they have in January in Utrecht (city in Holland). Going to be awesome! Saw the BHG live 1 time before on Lowlands and damn they rocked! (duh they play rock!) Anyway really excited so i’ll let you know how it was when the time is right for it!.

For now i’ll will train my stage diving, bounch and poko technicse. Just so i’ll be ready when the concert will be there…
