MceFM: Listen to Last.fm in Windows Vista Media Center

MceFM
Windows Media Center includes a decent music player for songs stored on your PC. And you can use plugins like RadioTime to listen to pretty much any streaming radio station you can find. But until recently there was no good way to listen to songs from music recommendation and streaming service Last.fm. Well, now there is.

MceFM is aplugin for Windows Vista Media Center that lets you stream music from Last.fm. All you have to do is type in the name of an artist or song and Last.fm will dig up music by that artist and then find similar songs you might like and start playing one song after another.

You'll need to sign up for a Last.fm account if you haven't already, because MceFM won't play a single note if you're not logged in. Once you're connected, all you have to do is enter an artist name and MceFM will connect to Last.fm, find your music and set up a playlist.

The plugin can also find music similar to songs and artists already on your computer. Just locate a track in your music library and then click the More button on your remote (or hit the Ctrl+D keys on your keyboard to bring up the context menu and select More), and you can search Last.fm for similar music.
