Happy New Year

foobar2000 BBC component

You may have read elsewhere about the Totem BBC plugin for playing the free content from the BBC included with Ubuntu 8.10. The feeds used by the plugin are freely accessible, so I've put together a component for foobar2000 which does much the same thing. (For the audio only of course!)

You can download it here.

Attention foobar2000 and Last.fm fans!

I've written foo_lastfm_radio, a component for the foobar2000 audio player, which adds automatically updating Last.fm radio playlists.

Artist stations are added from the context menu, and personal and custom stations from the File/Open Last.fm Radio Station menu.

The component, currently at version 0.4 (now with album art support!), is available here: download.

Rock!
