Description:
 This script fetches your tags from Last.fm for
artists, albums, and tracks. It stores them as
id3v2 COMM tags in your music files and appends
them to the comment for the given track in
amaroK's collection where they can be used to
contruct smart playlists.

So far this script only fetches your tags, it
doesn't syncronize changes you make locally back
to Last.fm. Probably this feature should wait
until the implementation of "labels" which is
coming in amaroK 1.5.

Also so far it is only possible to fetch tags for
a selection within a
playlist. The other context sub-menus just provide
helpful messages saying that this feature isn't
implimented yet.

As usual this software comes with no warrenty, it
might eat your lunch, etc.. That said it works for
me.

I owe a large debt of gratitude to Miguel Angel
Alvarez whoes amaroK Replaygain script served as
the skeleton of this one. Thanks Miguel!

Also, the tag fetching and parsing code comes
pretty much directly from Last.fm tags playlist by
Mark Kretschmann.

Dependencies:
    * amaroK 1.4.1
    * Python
    * Python Mutagen

Changelog:
 0.1.2

Bugfix.  Script was exiting with an error if
last.fm was unavailable.  Now it just sends a
popup and waits for further input.

0.1.1

The script can now fetch tags for
artist/albums/tracks with non-ASCII characters. 
TODO: Unfortunately the pop display shows the
characters munged, but.
