Create A Wallpaper Based On Your last.fm Music Profile

Windows

For Windows, there is an application for this called Gijsco’s Last.fm Desktop Generator and you can download it from HERE. Using it is very simple so I won't cover this part.

Linux

You must use Wallpaperfm.py, a Python script that generates desktop wallpapers from your last.fm music profile. It runs on Linux but should run just as well on Mac and Windows.

To generate a wallpaper using Wallpaperfm is very simple. All you have to do is open a terminal and paste the following commands:

cd
mkdir wallpaperfm
cd wallpaperfm
wget http://ledazibao.free.fr/wallpaperfm/wallpaperfm.py
chmod a+x wallpaperfm.py

You can change the folder where wallpaperfm.py is downloaded and your image is created in the commands above.

To generate your wallpaper:

./wallpaperfm.py -u YOURLASTFMUSERNAME

Obviously, you must change YOURLASTFMUSERNAME with your last.fm username.

This will create an image like this:

But that's not all wallpaperfm can do. The script can generate 3 different wallpapers. Select the one you want between 'tile', 'glass' and 'collage' with '-m' or '--Mode'. For instance, running:

./wallpaperfm.py -u YOURLASTFMUSERNAME -m collage

Will generate an image like this:

You can also tweak the canavas size, resolution, time period and many others. For info about all this, visit Wallpaperfm website.
