For my upcoming (and long-delayed) personal site relaunch, I’ve been working on integrating my last.fm data using the jolly good API. I like the weekly album chart, but unfortunately its results omit cover art images. Thankfully, the album.getInfo service includes images. Mash them into a fine paste using Yahoo! Pipes, and you’ve got this:

here’s a sneak peek of the resulting RSS feed integrated into the new site:
hopefully this pipe will help some other web publishing folk who enjoy last.fm as I do. Clone away, but please swap the API key with your own.
Good news!
Now that your page is all powered by Symphony you can simply use the Dynamic XML datasource to import your Last.fm top albums!
