Last.fm data for Mahouters

Hi,

I have just came across recent last.fm blog post:
http://blog.last.fm/2008/06/27/developers-developers-developers
They have released a new API for their data feeds. For those who are not
familiar with last.fm. It is an internet radio and besides streaming they
maintain a huge set of data about tracks, artists, customer preferences and
taste .. and the like.

For example the following gives you top albums tagged by "jazz":
http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=tag.gettopalbums&tag=jazz&api_key=b25b959554ed76058ac220b7b2e0a026

May be this can be used for some interesting Mahout tests or experiments.

Regards,
Lukas
