LastFMProxy makes a good service better (Linux.com)

Linux.com looks at using LastFMProxy with Last.fm. "In "Last.fm makes Internet music social," Dmitri Popov extols the wonders of Last.fm, a "social" music site that lets users create Internet radio stations that fits their tastes. Last.fm provides a free player for Linux, but if you want to use Last.fm with your favorite Linux player, you'll need the LastFMProxy written by Vidar Madsen."

The KDE music player project Amarok (http://amarok.kde.org/) has recently released a new version 1.4.1 with built-in support for Last.fm streams. It utilizes a proxy extension written in Ruby. At this time, it appears to support radio streams for tags and groups, with a GUI for setting up and listening to custom radio stations planned for 1.4.2.

yep, i build amarok from SVN just for this - it's really cool to be able
to choose "play last.fm stream -> custom radio", enter a few band names,
hit enter - and let it play a personal radio stream. Neighbor radio is
very cool, too.
