Hi Alexandre,

I've seen on your plugin-page that you're trying to implement:

I don't know if you already know, but there is lastrythm plugin that 
seems to do the same thing you'd like to do: 
http://usrportage.de/archives/763-the-last-rhythm-for-me.html

Indeed such plugin works well, but at every new song it make rb hang for 
some seconds while is retrieving song's info. Maybe you could contact 
the author for integrate it with last-fm plugin, make your own changes 
(so that there is just one plugin for whole infos retrieved from 
last.fm, and you can just set if you want to search for current song 
recommendation, cover arts, etc... or not), and share it to us :)

Thanks for your work!

enjoy, ;)

ps: I've just read that you know about lastrhythm... so, what in 
particular your plugin would be different from lastrhythm in?
