Support was removed several versions ago because it stopped working.

I'll have to implement the API directly.

[kode54]

The replacement implementation won't require or interact with the official app in any way.

[blovell91]

Awesome, thank you!!

[danieltomasz]

It will be a great feature!

I will have to look into this, but I'd have to write my own API implementation from scratch, as the official implementation requires the entirety of Qt, and I'm not shoving Qt into my app.

There's a lot of unofficial implementations, so you shouldn't need to be starting from scratch just to avoid the official (bloated) library. I see an Objective C implementation in the list on their website: https://www.last.fm/api/downloads . Maybe that would be suitable for Cog? Although that looks like a relatively thin library.

When I'm not using Cog, I use MPD, the last.fm implementation for which is https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/mpdscribble (C++, GPL2), so that might be another existing implementation that's useful? It's not organized for use as a library (as far as I can tell, I'm not a C developer and could have missed something), but it's license compatible and could perhaps be adapted for use here.

Can last.fm support be removed from the list of features?

I've been trying to find a foobar2000 equivalent on the Mac and Cog is it(-ish 😁 ) and saw last.fm support and then couldn't work it out.
