I just did this. If you use last.fm, you should too.
If you’d like to highlight your music interests from Last.fm on your Tumblr page but don’t want to inundate friends with posts for each track, check out this simple tool I made called Last.fm Tumblr. Instead of generating a post for every individual track you listen to, this feed updates once a week with a list of your top 5 artists from the prior week. Less noise, same effect. See my post from last Sunday for an example of how the list will appear on Tumblr.
To add the feed to your Tumblr:
- Visit the Last.fm Tumblr page.
- Enter your Last.fm user name and click “Run Pipe”.
- Select “More options > Get as RSS” and copy that URL.
- Paste the RSS URL into the Tumblr feeds form as “links with descriptions”.
- All done. Resume Tumbln.
The feed will automatically update each week on Sunday unless you don’t listen to any music through Last.fm that week, in which case nothing will appear. Let me know if you run into any problems or have any suggestions to improve the feed.
