NAME

       lastfmsubmitd, lastfmsubmit - Last.fm submission daemon and helper

SYNOPSIS

       lastfmsubmitd [--debug] [--no-daemon] [--no-network] [--help]
       lastfmsubmit  [--encoding ENC]  [--artist ARTIST] [--title TITLE] [--length LEN] [--time STAMP] [--album ALBUM] [--mbid TRACKID] [--stdout]
       [--debug] [--quiet] [--help]

DESCRIPTION

       lastfmsubmitd uses the Last.fm protocol to send information about played songs to a submission server. If network connectivity is  lost	or
       lastfmsubmitd is shut down, any unsubmitted songs will be saved to disk.

       Song  information  is  collected from one or more music players via a spool directory. All songs are submitted with the account information
       provided in the configuration file.

       lastfmsubmit is a helper program meant to be invoked by music players. It handles setting the timestamp, encoding data as UTF-8,  serializ-
       ing it to send to lastfmsubmitd, and locking.
