Scrobbler

Scrobbler is a wrapper for the audioscrobbler web services (www.audioscrobbler.net/data/webservices/).

Currently updating to use the 2.0 API. It is very much a work in progress.

Below is just a sampling of how easy this lib is to use, full documentation of all functions is available at rdoc.info/projects/xhochy/scrobbler
