I have dreamnt of this! I am, most of the time, near an internet connection so I just listen to Last.fm. Last.fm recommends music I like very well, so I don’t have to go hunting for new music. But, sometimes I am not near an internet connection and would like to listen to that music! Well, thanks to Sukimashita, there is a pluginĀ for Rhythmbox that does just that! It will record each song that plays in Last.fm in Rhythmbox, write tags, etc in ogg format.
Download recorder-to-music.tar.gz and extract the contents to /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins, restart Rhythmbox and enable the plugin. Then, look for a record button!
Note, I did not write this, but I did make a minor change: It will create the audio files in your ~/Music folder instead of on the ~/Desktop where Rhythmbox is set to watch for your music. Now, when an internet connection is not around, you can listen to your favorite music from Last.fm!
Note, at the time of this blog I was using Ubuntu 9.04 on a Dell Mini 9.
