Command-Line Arguments

Usage: lastlonger [options] [channel]

--artist=name, -a name	Select this "Similar Artists" channel.
--loved, -l	Select my "Loved Tracks" channel.
--no-player, -n	No playback, ripping only.
--output-directory=dir, -o dir	Put MP3 files in this directory. This argument is new in version 0.4 and is now mandatory to prevent you from accidentally littering whatever directory you happen to be in when you issue the command.
--personal, -p	Select my "Personal" channel.
--player=cmd, -P cmd	Pipe the MP3 stream to this command. (The default is "splay -M".)
--tag=name, -t name	Select this "Global Tag" channel.
--user-id=id, -u id	Log in as this user.
--verbose=lvl, -v lvl	Set verbosity level (0 = none, 1 = some, 2 = all).

A couple of examples:

lastlonger -a ABBA -o Music -u foo

Log in with user ID "foo", tune in to the "artists similar to ABBA" channel, and store the MP3 files in a folder named "Music" (which is expected to already exist).

lastlonger -p -o Music -u foo

As above, but play your "personal" channel. (You generally need to be a Last.fm subscriber to be able to do this.)

lastlonger -o Music -u foo -P 'ffplay -' lastfm://user/bar/loved

Any Last.fm channel address can be used, and any audio player that accepts MP3 data on stdin.

Note that if you want to explicitly set the player to use with the --player/-P argument, you will generally have to instruct the player to stream from stdin. In many players, this is done by giving a dash (-) instead of a filename as shown above.
