Thanks for submitting. I am on vacation right now but will take a look at this in the coming weeks.

So I took a look at this and I'm guessing the issue is that Last.fm doesn't like how some parts of the site work, i.e. everything except the standard fixed-period "Albums" request. There is official API support for the end to end collage generation process in this case, but the other types of collages utilize web scraping in addition to the official API, which Last.fm is probably detecting and not liking.

One possible solution to this would be for me to use another data source (like MusicBrainz) to actually get the images required. This should not be too difficult, and I will try to prioritize it over the coming weeks.
