Shell.FM: The console-based Linux last.fm client

I imagine that most of you know about last.fm, the audio scrobbling service. Some of you probably even know that you can use their player after you've built a decent profile and it will play full tracks to you that it has calculated to be similar to your tastes. Fewer of you are aware that there are third party clients that do the same thing but with less bloat and no advertisements. A good graphical client that does this for Linux is Last Exit. I'm not talking about Last Exit though. I'm talking about Shell.FM. It's a very simple, very usable, very fast CLI program that plays tracks from last.fm.

It's my audio player of choice when I want to listen to a somewhat random directed subset of music that isn't on my computer.

Here's a screenshot of it:



Ugly? Maybe. But I like it.
