Vagalume: Client for Last.fm and compatible services

Vagalume is a GTK+-based Last.fm client. Although it works in standard PCs, it is specially designed to work in the Maemo platform, the one used by some Nokia devices such as the 770, N800, N810 and N900

Vagalume is free software released under the GNU GPL. It has been developed and tested mainly on a desktop PC running Debian GNU/Linux and on the Nokia N800/N810/N900 but it has been confirmed to work in the Nokia 770 as well. Vagalume also works in Moblin-based devices and there is experimental support for MS Windows.

Its main features are:

• It plays Last.fm radio streams (using the v2.0 API)
• It supports Libre.fm and other compatible servers
• Support for different radio stations (personal, neighbours, loved tracks, ..., or any lastfm:// URL)
• It supports marking tracks as loved or banned
• It can tag artists, tracks and albums
• It can send recommendations to other users
• It can add tracks to your playlist
• It can download free tracks to your hard disk
• It scrobbles tracks so they appear in your Last.fm webpage (this can be disabled at runtime).
• It sends Now Playing information following the Audioscrobbler Realtime Submission Protocol v1.2.
• Supports discovery mode
• Bookmarks
• Remote control
• Gettext support (translated into many languages)

Vagalume still lacks many other features (namely a decent UI) but we'll try to solve that in future releases

The latest version is Vagalume 0.8.3, released on 05 Feb 2010. Read the list of changes here.
