Another hack to add to the Black Spotify list, Lastify bolts onto the regular Spotify client and lets you Love, Ban, and Tag tracks back to Last.fm. This is an obvious feature missing from Spotify’s official client, but unfortunately for me this plug-in is for Apple Mac only.
Although creator George Brocklehurst calls Lastify a “quick-and-dirty hack,” it seems fairly robust and he provides support and updates via his blog.
Other Updates
A few other Spotify-related updates:
- ShareMyPlaylists has added a new feature to easily share a playlist on Facebook or Twitter. Check out the ShareMyPlaylists blog for more details.
- freshspotify has added RSS (atom) feeds for any artist: subscribe to a feed and a notification is posted to your reader whenever new tracks by that artist are added to Spotify. How fresh is that? See the freshspotify blog for details on this and some of the other new features.
- Big thanks to plamere at the excellent Music Machinery blog for his post about this site. He calls it the “ultimate Spotify blog” Paul’s blog is all about music technology and he certainly seems to know what he’s talking about (just ask Slashdot).
