So, BlackBerry 10 is going to be able to run most Android apps. I have to use a BlackBerry for work; which doubles as my personal phone. I'm REALLY psyched for BB10; will this app function on BB10? Any word yet?

Hello Last.fm. Is there any chance you could add a CORS header (i.e. Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *) to the album art images made available through the API? Obviously, displaying the image in an <img ... /> tag does not require this. However, I'm trying to embed an image within a PDF, using JavaScript within the browser. This requires loading the image into an ArrayBuffer with XMLHttpRequest, and here the lack of CORS is a problem. Many thanks.

Do any of you guys want an embeddable album collage to show off your taste on a personal website? The app creates a collage with the size, number of rows, and time period of your choice: http://chrisawren.com/widgets/lastfm/

Made an app at http://jonpierce.net/p/lastfm/timeline/ builds a line chart of your last.fm top tags or artists over a given time period, so you can see the rise and fall of your tastes over time. It takes a long-ass time because there's a lot of requests involved - sorry! Let me know if you've got any suggestions.

Hi, Last.fm. Your API method "tag.search" does not return any results for all queries, it starts some days ago where i can post this bug?
