No protocol documentation avaible for now...

type track = (string * string) list * string

Type for track datas

A track is a list of "field","value" metadatas and an uri

type error =

Various errors

exception Error of error

val string_of_error : error -> string

Get meaning of Error e

val base_host : string Stdlib.ref

Base host. Default: "ext.last.fm"

val get : ?timeout:float -> string -> track list

get uri performs whole process and outputs a list of metadatas,uri from given lastfm uri.

This function cannot handle well multiple anonymous requests.

If you plan to play simultaneously several anonymous radios, you better use the advanced API to keep track of every opened session.

Using this API you shall call:

Then you can use any of the following:

After each of those calls, you shall use *only* one of the songs from the playlist.

The module will cache session informations and avoid redundant requests, so you might always call init and adjust.

If you call playlist, and anything went bad, you have to call clear to remove cached data about this session.

In any case you may also give another try, in case of inconsistent cached session data. See get source for details
