Lastfm CodeIgniter Library

Lastfm Sharing your music taste could never be easier with CodeIgniter and Lastfm

Just register for lastfm, and install the program on your PC/Mac… then play your tunes in your favourite music player. The ‘recently played’ list will start populating with your track list.

You can use this library to get a list of your recently played songs (like on the right hand side of this blog >>), for your CodeIgniter application.

Using the application is really simple.
Here’s the code for your controller:

$this->load->library('lastfm');
 
$config = 	array(
'user'	 => 'elliothaughin',
'num'	=> 10,
'rss_cache_path'	=> APPPATH.'cache/lastfm-rss-cache',
'cache_time'	=> 300 // 5 minutes
);
 
$this->lastfm->init($config);
 
$data['lastfm'] = $this->lastfm->get_latest();

Then you just need to display them in your view files!

<?php foreach ($lastfm as $song):?>
<li><?=$song['title']?><br />
<?=$song['when']?></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Easy peasy huh?

hey, just goofing around with this, thanks a lot! But just one thing: your username is hardcoded into the rss_url on line 48.

i assume it should be something like
$this->rss_url = http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/user/‘.$user.’/recenttracks.rss’; ?

change line 48 to:

$this->rss_url = ‘http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/user/’.$this->user.’/recenttracks.rss’;

Thanks for the Lib!!!

Thank you very much! It works \o/

I just had to change the line 122 to set my own path location:

$this->obj->simplepie->cache_location = ‘./assets/includes/’;
