When displaying track names with weird characters it appears strange on the forum.

Mötley Crüe - Bittersuite is what the forum shows.

Where as it should be Mötley Crüe

Oooh, good find.

Actually I half knew about this but had forgotten... Bj?rk showed up wrong ages ago.

I'll do some testing... it's got to be the character set of the RSS I guess... will try and figure it out

It's actually a bug in their (last.fm's) feed. They should be HTML escaping special characters in the Title part of their RSS, and they are not.

I've reported it as a bug on their site:
http://www.last.fm/forum/21716/_/56191/1

The hack will work fine in the meantime, but display incorrectly these characters. As soon as they fix it, it will be perfect

So i suppose getting the error:

Warning: main(Cache/Lite.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /audioscrobbler.php on line 25

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'Cache/Lite.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/xxx/public_html/audioscrobbler.php on line 25

Means i need to install Cache Lite?

It more likely means that you need to ask your host if PHP is compiled with PEAR or check your PHPINFO() to see whether it is.

For example, my PHPINFO() page:
http://www.bowlie.com/phpinfo.php

You can see in the Configure Command the bit: --with-pear

If you have that... then you have PEAR and you simply need to install Cache_Lite. However if you don't have PHP compiled with PEAR, then either you (if it's a dedicated server) or your host (if it's shared) need to recompile PHP with PEAR (which actually is the default for recent releases of PHP).

Once you have PEAR you need to ensure you have Cache_Lite... to do this, from the command line (in SSH as root or the user who has power to do stuff to PHP installs) enter this command:

pear install Cache_Lite

To which, it should look something like this once run:

root@example [~]# pear install Cache_Lite
downloading Cache_Lite-1.5.2.tgz ...
Starting to download Cache_Lite-1.5.2.tgz (21,306 bytes)
........done: 21,306 bytes
install ok: Cache_Lite 1.5.2
root@example [~]#

The PEAR installer is documented here:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.cli.php

If you need to do the same with XML_RSS the CLI command is:

pear install XML_RSS

If it needs you to download any dependencies... it will tell you And if it does... install those in the same way

Very Awesome *installs*

Updated to handle special characters like the ? in Bj?rk

Just download and modify the audioscrobbler.php file to your needs

I don't know what I did to make this stop working but I get this error when runnin testPear.php

Warning: main(XML/Parser.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/areyous/public_html/XML/RSS.php on line 23

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'XML/Parser.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/areyous/public_html/XML/RSS.php on line 23

Been working outstanding then the other day it stopped :ermm:

Edit: I've fixed it by finding the contents of the Parser.php and uploading it manually, still no idea why it got removed. Maybe my host did something when he moved me to a new server.

There was a PHP security announcement regards XML-RPC libraries. PEAR and numerous other apps updated. But maybe your host was enthusiastically deleting rather than updating.
