NAME

       lastfmsubmitd, lastfmsubmit - Last.fm submission daemon and helper

SYNOPSIS

       lastfmsubmitd [--debug] [--no-daemon] [--no-network] [--help]
       lastfmsubmit    [--encoding ENC]    [--artist ARTIST]   [--title TITLE]
       [--length LEN]    [--time STAMP]    [--album ALBUM]    [--mbid TRACKID]
       [--stdout] [--debug] [--quiet] [--help]

DESCRIPTION

       lastfmsubmitd  uses  the  Last.fm  protocol  to  send information about
       played songs to a submission server. If network connectivity is lost or
       lastfmsubmitd  is  shut  down,  any  unsubmitted songs will be saved to
       disk.

       Song information is collected from one or  more  music  players  via  a
       spool  directory.  All songs are submitted with the account information
       provided in the configuration file.

       lastfmsubmit is a helper program meant to be invoked by music  players.
       It  handles  setting the timestamp, encoding data as UTF-8, serializing
       it to send to lastfmsubmitd, and locking.

OPTIONS

       -d, --debug
              Log debugging information.

       -n, --no-daemon
              Do not fork into the background.

       -n, --no-network
              Do not attempt to connect to a server, but  process  submissions
              anyway.

       -e, --encoding
              Use  a different encoding than the locale’s default to read song
              information.

       -q, --quiet
              Silence any logging information that would normally  be  printed
              to stderr.

       -a, --artist
              Specify  the  song’s  artist name. Artist, title, and length are
              required for lastfmsubmitd to actually submit the song.

       -t, --title
              Specify the song’s title.

       -l, --length
              Specify the song’s length.

       -i, --time
              Specify the time at which the song was played, formatted in  UTC
              as ’%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S’ (see strptime(3)). If not given, defaults
              to the current time.

       -b, --album
              Specify the song’s album name.

       -m, --mbid
              Specify the song’s MusicBrainz track ID.

       -o, --stdout
              Write the serialized song information to standard output instead
              of the spool.

FILES

       /var/spool/lastfm
              The  directory where music players should write song information
              to be submitted by lastfmsubmitd.

       /etc/lastfmsubmitd.conf
              The configuration file.
