lastCollage: Make wallpaper from your Last.fm album covers…
March 26th, 2008 | by TK |
With this handy little bash script, you can make a wallpaper collage of your favorite albums using the Last.fm (formally Audioscrobbler) service. If you have a Last.fm account, then you already know you need some sort of plugin for your music player to list recently played tracks. With the lastCollage script it takes all your recently played album covers and arranges them in a nifty collage, then saves it as an image file to add as your wallpaper. I must say, it does a great job too. It fades some covers, while making others more prominent. It definitely has a collage feel to it.
Here’s a simple way to get it installed (from the lastCollage website) for Linux users:
mkdir lastCollage
cd lastCollage
wget http://ledazibao.free.fr/lastCollage/lastCollage
wget http://ledazibao.free.fr/lastCollage/parse_pictures.xsl
chmod a+x lastCollage
./lastCollage (To run the script)
** Ubuntu users should type sudo before all commands, exluding cd (just changes current directory).
To see how to change parameters and other stuff, head on over to the official site: lastCollage.
