10 <p><tt>mafw-lastfm</tt> is a Last.fm scrobbler for Maemo devices
11 using <a href="https://garage.maemo.org/projects/mafw">mafw</a>,
12 the multimedia application framework for Maemo devices. With it,
13 you can scrobble your listening habits to the <a
14 href="http://www.last.fm">last.fm</a> social site.</p>
16 <h2>How does it actually work? Why can't I see any UI?</h2>
19 href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last.fm#Audioscrobbler_plugin"><em>scrobbler</em></a>
20 is a piece of software that gathers the information
21 of the tracks you listen and submits them to the last.fm social site.
22 Since this is done entirely in the background, without any user interaction,
23 there is no need for a UI. Just play your music from the N900 mediaplayer
27 <p>If you are actually interested in <em>playing</em> content from
28 last.fm, then you might actually want to have a look at software like
