Notes:

  • Each artist in the library requires a separate API call to Lastfm to get the top tracks. As a result generation could several minutes or more if there are hundreds or thousands of artists to fetch.

  • It does not support tracks stored in the cloud. Haven't looked into whether this is possible or not. Feel free to send a pull request.

  • For convenience, lastfm credentials may be stored in ~/.config/lastfm-itunes.yml If that file exists, then it will auto-fill the Lastfm API key and secret.
