Could you show me an example of a working implementation that could give me an overview of how to design a basic application using Last.fm API?

No worries all sorted, seemed if ($(this).attr("@attr")) { did the trick just fine. :)

Does anyone know how to access the @attr":{"nowplaying":"true"}} wit json using jquery's .getJSON function? I can access everything else using an .each loop but not the now playing value. I'm using the user.getrecenttracks module.

getInfo requires authentication which I think is a bit over-secure. That information is available on peoples public lastfm pages. What I really want is a users (other than the authenticated users) playcount -- is that possible to get using the API?
