fmTuner is a WordPress plugin for retrieving song details from your Last.fm profile and publishing them anywhere in your WordPress theme. It provides options for choosing among your Recent, Loved, or Top tracks, as well as tools to adjust the update frequency and appearance.

Of particular note is the customizable Display Format option. Using simple tags like [::artist::] and [::image::] intermixed with regular HTML, you can tweak your Last.fm tracks exactly how you like, or however your WordPress theme requires. You have full control!

Release History

• fmTuner 1.0.7 Released on Apr. 23, 2009 Tracks with foreign character sets now display more accurately.
• fmTuner 1.0.6 Released on Mar. 29, 2009 You can now display more than 10 Recent Tracks, and you should get fewer tracks without artwork.
