Simple Last.fm Scrobbler

Simple Last.fm Scrobbler is a simple app that scrobbles music listened to on an Android phone. Scrobbling means submitting listening information to Last.fm (and optionally/additionally Libre.fm) when you play a track, and you can then get music recommendations and view you listening history and statistics at Last.fm.

All of the code is open source (GPLv3 mostly).

• Almost all of the code is written by me, so: Copyright 2009 Adam Renberg.

• A small MD5 utilities class seems to be written by many people, but it is released under GPLv2, and I got it from here.

• The icon was made by Tha PHLASH.

• The Last.fm logo is copyright of Last.fm, taken from their media kit.

• The Libre.fm logo is probably copyright of Libre.fm, used in good faith. (Because of their name and stated mission, I assume it is okay).

I use copyright here only in the sense of proper attribution. Do whatever you want with the code (as long as the licenses are followed). If GPLv3 seems too harsh, or whatever, I have no real reason for using it, and can re-license upon receiving well-argued requests.
