+====== MPD_and_last.fm ======
+At long last, I've found a solution to streaming last.fm radio through MPD.
+http://bash.viharpander.dk/#mc has a collection of utility scripts for <tt>mpc</tt>, one of which is the <tt>mpf</tt> script for last.fm.
+to install, extract the zip into a pathed directory (it contains three scripts, which bomb the current directory). Run mcf once by hand and it will run through a simple configuration wizard to set your last.fm credentials.
+Then you can run mcf to enqueue streams in mpd:
+ mcf 0.3 gives you easy MPD access to last.fm radio stations.
+ Run 'mcf --setup' to generate a configuration file before use.
+ Syntax:
+   mcf <search key> <search term(s)>
+ Search keys can be
+   a for artist (e.g. 'new york dolls')
+   f for last.fm's global tags, only one accepted (e.g. 'funky')
+   l to pick a tag from a list of poular tags (does not require
+   search terms)
+   r for a group's radio station (e.g 'mpd')
+   u for user's radio station (e.g. 'musiclover8462')
+   n for user's neighbourhood radio station (e.g. 'musiclover8462')
+   s for a specific last.fm address (e.g. 'lastfm://play/tracks/10413')
+ Last.fm is fairly strict with redirects but you should be able to get
+ away with omitting initial 'the's and not capitalizing any letters. All
+ search terms except user name and lasf.fm address can consist of multiple
+ words. Sadly there does not seem to be a way to combine multiple tags.
