iTunes Last.fm Plugin

If you're using iTunes on OS X and you're a Last.fm user you might want to try the iTunes Last.fm Plugin:

I've just written a contextual menu plugin for iTunes that adds a 'Play Similar Artist Radio in Last.fm' item to the menu when you right click on any song – it even works when you right click on albums in cover flow.

First it pauses iTunes if you happen to already be listening to something and then it launches the Last.fm client and automatically tunes into the similar artist station for the artist of the song you right clicked on.

This is an excellent way of discovering new artists similar to ones already in your iTunes library.

I've installed it and it seems to work as advertised. It's free, it works, and it might just point you in the direction of some music you'll enjoy: what's not to like?
