John,
	Maybe there's a file missing in the context.tar you posted.  My
installation is complaining about missing AstrawebParser, which is in
the lyrics plugin.  I moved that into context's plugin folder, and all
was well, but, that's probably a simple fix, I don't know python.

	The other problem is this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "XXXX/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins/context/ContextView.py", line
105, in playing_changed_cb
    self.ds['artist'].fetch_top_tracks (self.current_artist)
  File "XXXX/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins/context/ArtistTab.py", line 147,
in fetch_top_tracks
    url = '{0}artist.{1}&artist={2}&api_key={3}'.format(self.url_prefix,
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'format'

Once again, don't know python, only sort of understand what's going on.
Looks like it has potential to be really cool when it's all working!
