Re: [Librefm-discuss] Questions about Love

[Mike Sheldon]

Hi Darryl,

 You can use the user.getLovedTracks method to find out all the tracks a
user has loved. The documentation for this method can be seen here:
http://www.last.fm/api/show/user.getLovedTracks

 Example usage for Libre.fm would be:
http://alpha.libre.fm/2.0/?method=user.getLovedTracks&user=elleo

 There isn't a mechanism for querying individual tracks in the last.fm
api, so presumably you'll want to just grab the whole set of loved
tracks at start up and then check against it for each song.

Cheers,
 Mike.
