Here is the video of the mashup in action. I’m thinking up a new idea using the Last.fm api that will hopefully work better. As this was just a proof of concept it won’t be released any time soon.

A month or so ago I hacked the last.fm for wordpress plugin to allow for integration with Spotify. The basic  idea was that the plugin would pull in your recently played tracks and then allow users to open those tracks directly within Spotify by clicking on a green note.
