Very nice! I've done a similiar pipe months ago. (http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.edit?_id=SIb_...) The thing I've just improved from what I've seen in your pipe was the pubDate. Can you tell me why utime have to be overwritten with a constant number?
Joe Lazarus
· 1 year ago
Hey SuckMySocks, your Pipe looks nice. I'm thinking about adding the play count like you have. I wish I knew Regex... seems like that function would save me a lot of time.
Tumblr requires a pubDate. If you submit a feed to them without one, you get an error. However, the pubDate doesn't seem to be used for anything. They assign each feed item their own pubDate when it is posted to Tumblr. So, I just used a constant to get around the error message I was getting from Tumblr before I added that. It probably would have been more accurate for me to use the date field from Last.fm, but since it's not used for anything I just skipped that part and used a fixed value.

Joe Lazarus

Thanks for the heads up Bijan. I noticed a few people had problems and I think I've identified the bug. I see that your top 5 artists from this week are on your Tumblr now. Out of curiosity, did you delete my feed and then re-submit it to your feeds settings? That info would help confirm my suspicion about the bug and help me fix it for other users.

Hi there, thanks for this app. Im having a few problems however, Im getting a post a day at least! Apologies if its something i've done wrong. I have reloaded the feed.
Joe Lazarus
· 1 year ago
Hi Thomas. I looked at your feed based on the posts I saw on your Tumblr under Last.fm user name "completesound". The problem seems to be on Last.fm's side. For some reason, Last.fm is generating a feed each day for your user name instead of each week. It's odd. There's no data appearing on your page...
Did you just join Last.fm this week? If so, try waiting a week and Last.fm should have time to collect your first weekly data correctly.

hey joe. sorry to be a pain but i added the feed last week and it seems to work in terms of bringing up the post within my tumblr but doesn't actually show any artists. any guidance? sorry if this is a very stupid question.
Joe Lazarus
· 1 year ago
jngd, when you add the feed to your tumblr, you need to import it as "links with summaries". to fix the problem, delete the current feed and add it again with that setting. that should fix it.
jngd

thanks joe. would have helped if i'd read your instructions properly. sorry for the hassle. jez
I am having a small issue with the code that the pipe spits out into my tumblr post. Would it be possible to have the pipe generate code that does not stick p tags around the ordered list of songs? If that were possible and the "Imported from Last.fm Tumblr" line could then go inside its own p tags, I think the pipe's output would be friendlier to the css on my (and probably others' ) site(s).
If you take this post as an example, you will see that there is no vertical space between "Imported from ..." and the dividing line directly below it. I'm pretty sure this is because the CSS doesn't "see" the p tags that surround the ordered list and the "Imported from" attribution.
Joe Lazarus
· 1 year ago
Minorjive, I'm happy to change it or create a new version. I don't really know HTML or CSS. I just found a page on the web that gave instructions on how to form the HTML for a numbered list. I'm ok with changing it if the output can be improved, but can you give me an example of the exact code you had in mind? Otherwise, I'm not sure if I can figure it out on my own.
Ben
· 1 year ago
I'm going to email you. I could not display the code properly in the comments area.
Josh14, the feed shows your top 5 artists from last week. Since you didn't listen to any music via Last.fm last week, there are no results for you yet.

You should totally make one similar for flickr, I hate uploading 100 photos and all 100 getting posted...
Joe Lazarus

Good idea. Maybe I'll do that. Would you want one summary post for Flickr per week or one per day?
empirikal
· 1 year ago
I'm not familiar with how you're setting it up but an ideal situation would just be on a per update basis. Like say I upload 10 photos today, it would check for recent updates and see I uploaded 10. It would pick 1 of the 10 images, first or last uploaded, and will pull that image to the tumblr page, with a note that says "View all recently posted Pictures" or "Click to view the 10 recently updated photos"
If that's not totally possible, then something weekly or daily would be great too.

Hi! I'm not sure if you would be willing to take on the project...but it would be great if you could figure out how to put the goals from the Nike+ website on to Tumblr. They give you the HTML like this:
(I'm sure it will actually show up...sorry I'm completely not tech savvy) How do you get this on to Tumblr?
Joe Lazarus
· 1 year ago
Pema, I don't use Nike+ so I'm not that familiar with it, but it looks like you could post that code to Tumblr yourself. Just treat it as a video post. Click the video icon from your Tumblr dashboard and paste your code above into the "embed a video" field. It should appear on your Tumblr as a widget. Tumblr calls it a "video" post, but it supports any sort of embeded flash widget, which is what Nike+ provides. Hope that helps.

OH SNAP! That totally worked! Thanks a ton, very exciting. That's right I guess I could use their widgets, though not sure if they have one that just spits out one artist song combo. Will have to check. Hope all rocks for you!

Thanks, Andrew
Joe Lazarus
· 1 year ago
Hi Andrew, the feed shows your top 5 artists from the prior week. It's based on the information on this page from Last.fm...
As you can see, you only listened to 2 artists last week. When I made the feed, I decided that if a person listened to less than 5 artists for the week, that I would skip the update that week (ie. does a top 5 list make sense when you only listened to 2 artists). In order for the feed to update for you next week, make sure you listen to more than 5 artists this week.
Since the idea is to show your top 5 artists, it's designed to only show results for a given week if you listen to at least 5 bands the prior week.

I visited Last.fm and noticed that they'd drastically changed their website, did they play with the API while they were at it?
Joe Lazarus
· 1 year ago
Yeah, it's not working for anyone this week. I need to look into it. Last.fm might have made some changes to their API... or they might just be late posting this week's updates. I hope to have it fixed by next week. Stay tuned!

Joe Lazarus

The Pipe shows your top 5 artists from the prior week. In order for it to work, you had to listen to at least 5 bands last week. The data comes from this page on Last.fm...
It doesn't look like you listened to any music on Last.fm last week. If you listen to 5 bands this week and run it again next week, you should be all set.
francisco
· 1 year ago
Ok, what happened is that I'm using pandorajam to listen to my pandora stations. It has a feature to "audioscrobble' or summit information about the music I have been listening in pandora to lastfm. So i'm not actually listening to it at lastfm though I'm compiling a library from the one I listen in pandora. I guess having a library doesnt count if you're listening to it.
Joe Lazarus

It should work if you're scrobbling the music from Pandora to Last.fm. It looks like you just started doing that a few days ago.

Something weird going on when I try to use the pipe:
"No pipe results for Last.fm Tumblr."
This is particularly weird as I always use Last.fm and when I visit my profile, I do see activity although the pipe is not catching it. I tried to seek for a solution in my Last.fm settings but all seems to be set well. Any ideas?
As you can see, you only listened to 3 bands last week through Last.fm. The Top 5 list will only work if you listened to 5 or more artists the prior week. Try it again next week.

It's not working for anyone right now do to a problem in Yahoo! Pipes and a data delay from Last.fm. Wait a day or two and try again. There isn't anything I can do to fix it since the problem is on their end, but I'm sure they'll fix it soon.

thekatybee, i'm not sure how you got that url, but it's a bad link. url's should never have forward slashes "\". the correct url for your last.fm feed is...

thekatybee
· 1 year ago
I'm using the linux version of Firefox. When I click "Get RSS Feed" it takes me to Google and asks me whether how I want to subscribe to it. And it lists that link on the page so I right-clicked and copied the link. I couldn't find any other way to copy to it.
thekatybee
· 1 year ago
Is there some other way you're supposed to do it? I was thinking I wanted to use one of your twitter feeds too but I had the same problem.
Joe Lazarus
· 1 year ago
It sounds like the problem has to do with your browser settings. I don't use Linux, so I'm not sure how to fix it, but in the Mac version of Firefox, you can go to Preferences > Applications > Web Feed and change it from "Use Google" to "Preview in Firefox". That should let you view RSS feed URL's in their normal format instead of that version with the forward slashes. If that doesn't work for some reason or if the settings are different in Linux, I'm not sure I can help.

Awesome work Joe ! The strange thing though is the results from the pipe don't tally with http://www.last.fm/user/senhwei/charts ? Using the pipe, the top 5 artists are Gregorian (11) Tosca (9) Sarah Connor (8) Bryan Adams (7) Moby (7). But on Last.fm, my top 5 from last 7 days are Gregorian, Il Divo, Sarah Connor, Enya and Andy Lau (劉德華) ?
My Last.fm username is "senhwei". Any ideas why there's a difference ? Thanks again for this great work !
Joe Lazarus

I'm not at my computer now, but I think you're comparing two different reports. My pipe shows data from the "weekly snapshot" report, which shows data from the prior Sunday to the most recent Sunday. I think the report you're looking at on last.fm is a rolling 7 day report, meaning Thursday to Thursday for today. There's another report that you can find in last.fm that sync's perfectly with my pipe.

Joe Lazarus
· 11 months ago
I'm not sure what you're looking at, but there are two weekly lists in Last.fm. One shows a weekly snapshot from Sunday to Sunday. Another shows a rolling 7 day list, meaning if you look at the report on say a Wednesday, it would show Wednesday to Wednesday. My Pipe is based on the snapshot, not the rolling report. You're probably noticing a discrepancy between the two different reports.

Hi Joe,
I'm having a bit of a problem with the pipe. I know nothing about them so have no idea what's going wrong! But it says "Pipe engine request failed" or something like that anyway. My user name on Lastfm is Lee20sk if that helps?!
Cheers
Joe Lazarus
· 10 months ago
Lee, there was a problem with Yahoo! Pipes last night that was causing the "request failed" error. It should be fixed now, however, it looks like you didn't listen to 5 or more bands through Last.fm last week...
thnx! i signed up for last.fm just to chart what i've been listening to while working... woah.

HI joe
for some reason the pipe can't seem to detect my last.fm username. Apparently there's no "pipe results for lst.fm tumblr"..(my username is the same as this)
help pls? thank you! :D
Joe Lazarus
· 10 months ago
You need to listen to 5 or more bands through Last.fm the prior week for the top 5 list to work. You didn't listen to any last week and only 1 band the week before...
Hey i'm having a few problems... i followed the directions exactly as you have them but when it's all said and done ALL of your tumblr posts are on my page :/ I'm using a macbook if that makes a difference. please let me know if you can help. thanks
Joe Lazarus
· 10 months ago
I'm not sure what you mean by "ALL of your tumblr posts are on my page". Let me know what your Last.fm user name is and send me a link to your Tumblr site, then I'll look into it.
actually i just tried again and everything is fine... thanks though. if i run into any other problems i'll let you know

It keeps telling me that there is no pipe results. why?
Joe Lazarus

That usually means you didn't listen to 5 or more bands through last.fm last week (Sunday to Sunday). If you did, tell me your last.fm user name and I'll look into it.

I can't figure out to work this. I know it seems stupid, because your guidelines work so well. But the thing is i paste the URL into the feeds, but it says it can't be found. How do i fix this???
thanks for your time, Tim
ps, if you check my tumblr, i manually cut and paste to make it seem like i can do it...haha
Joe Lazarus
· 9 months ago
Tim, it sounds like a setting in your browser is breaking the URL. Try this URL instead as the one you paste into Tumblr, but replace the last part of the URL that says joelaz to your Last.fm user name...
Firefox breaks the URL. Use Safari and the instructions work perfectly. Many thanks for this Joe. Very very cool.

hey, this is a great thing you got going on here, but i can't get it to work... when i try to run the RSS feed through my tumblr, it says "Not a valid feed"
i must be doing something wrong, but have no clue where to look and see what. Any suggestions?
So i added this, but instead of getting a list of my top 5 it gets published in my blogs as a link to my artists at last.fm. know what i did wrong?
Joe Lazarus

Step #5... import the feed as "links with summaries".

Hey Joe, I've been using your Pipe for a while and am a big fan. However is there a way to add a title to the Tumblr post (e.g. "This week's listening:") as i don't think some people actually know what's going on when all they see is a list of bands with numbers beside it.
Cheers!
Joe Lazarus
· 7 months ago
Luke, the PIpe is setup to include a title. I think you just missed a step when importing the feed into your Tumblr. When you add it to Tumblr make sure you select import as "links with summaries". If you do that, the feed appears like this...

Parker

Thank you for this wonderful tool, I absolutely love it!
Would there be a way to just let it pull monthly or maybe bi-monthly charts? I do use Last.fm, but I still use my "real" stereo more, so I often fail at submitting weekly charts. Just wondering if the monthly thing can be done...
Joe Lazarus
· 7 months ago
Yeah, that should be possible. Feel free to take the Yahoo! Pipe that I created and modify it to run on a monthly basis instead of weekly. There's a link next to every Pipe labeled "Edit Source". Click that and it creates a copy of the Pipe that you can view and edit. It might take a little while to learn Yahoo! Pipes, but it should be possible.
Parker
· 5 months ago
Joe, I just sat down and hand-copied your pipe module by module. From what I understand, the Last.fm only provides charts for 7 days, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months (well, and overall charts).
I have decided that I could live with 3 months, since that does make more sense for me than 7 days. I changed the references to weekly charts to that of monthly charts, which, if I'm not mistaken, uses the getTopArtists API.
Sadly, it does not appear to be working. I don't even know where I went wrong, all I ever get is the "No pipe results" error message. Even though I felt bad about it, I published my dysfunctional attempt, hoping the cap locks will deter people.
I'm not asking you specifically because I know you're a busy guy, I just thought I'd post this here any maybe I'm lucky and somehow has attempted and succeeded at doing this for any period of time > 7 days.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)
Joe Lazarus
· 5 months ago
Parker, the problem with your Pipe is in the second module. You added a URL variable called "period" and entered a value of "3month". That variable isn't supported by the API call your using. It may be possible to create the Pipe you're looking for, but it's probably a bit more complicated than just copying my Pipe and making a few small changes.
Personally, I don't think the Pipe would be all that valuable anyway. If you only want to update your list once every 3 months, it's probably easier to post the list by hand. That said, it probably could be done if you or someone else wants to take up the challenge of creating the Pipe.
Good luck!

Your feed works fine when I try it. I'm not sure what the issue is. Where are you seeing the "not a valid feed" error? In Yahoo! Pipes or on Tumblr? It may be an issue with your browser or on Tumblr's side. I'm stumped.

Joe Lazarus

It's not working today for a different reason than last week. This past week, you only listened to 4 bands through Last.fm...
You need 5 or more for the feed to work. Try waiting till next Monday, listen to 5 or more bands by then, and then paste this alternative RSS feed into Tumblr...
Ahh maybe thats my problem too. Well, Lastfm reports on Sunday, doesnt it? So do I have this week to build up a list? Hopefully. :)

Joe Lazarus

No, you need to listen to at least 5 artists the prior week in order for the top 5 artists feed to work. Try waiting till next week after you have listened to several bands.

It should work if you copy this exact URL into Tumbr...
If not, it must be a problem on Tumblr's end. Try contacting them. Your Yahoo! Pipes feed works fine.

Still not working for me neither. :( Darn, I really wanted to try this out. I even have my top artists there now. Yet STILL saying "invalid feed".
My user name is "sunflowr". What is the WHOLE url for the feed? I notice you trail off when you give people their urls. WHERE does the URL end? Maybe thats where I/we are going wrong.
Thanks! :)
Joe Lazarus
· 5 months ago
Your feed is valid. You should be able to see it here:
If Tumblr is telling you it's an invalid feed, the only thing I can think of is that it's an error on their end. Perhaps you can contact them. It seems to be working fine for thousands of other people.

I've installed this several times, and it always works one time but after that one time it seems like the RSS-feed stops working. In stead of having a green colour in the "Services" window of the Customize-page, it turns red and stops showing my weekly artists. Do I need to place the code in every week for it to work? Does anyone else have this problem?
Hey I think this is awesome but it doesn't work for me... I am not sure if I am copying the URL Feed because when I try and put it in my Tumblr it always says that I need to put in the URL feed, is there an example of what the URL feed is supposed to work for, and also when I save it doesn't save the Links with description. Do you know what may be wrong? Thank You :)

That's possible, but unfortunately, I don't have the time to make that version myself. The Yahoo! Pipes page has a "clone" button, which lets anyone copy what I made. They could then edit the Pipe to list songs instead of artists.

Hmmm... it sounds like you have a setting in your browser that automatically adds RSS to your bookmarks toolbar. Try to right-click on the RSS link and see if you can copy the URL from there. If that doesn't work, I'm not sure how to help as it sounds like a personal setting in your web browser.

That's odd. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it's an issue either on Last.fm or on Yahoo! Pipes, neither of which I can fix. My only suggestion is to try again later... in a day or two. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I've done a similiar pipe months ago. (http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.edit?_id=SIb_...)
The thing I've just improved from what I've seen in your pipe was the pubDate.
Can you tell me why utime have to be overwritten with a constant number?
Tumblr requires a pubDate. If you submit a feed to them without one, you get an error. However, the pubDate doesn't seem to be used for anything. They assign each feed item their own pubDate when it is posted to Tumblr. So, I just used a constant to get around the error message I was getting from Tumblr before I added that. It probably would have been more accurate for me to use the date field from Last.fm, but since it's not used for anything I just skipped that part and used a fixed value.
Great stuff Joe.

Yet, there is a feed for you that's updated daily instead of weekly...
http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/user/completes...
Did you just join Last.fm this week? If so, try waiting a week and Last.fm should have time to collect your first weekly data correctly.

I am having a small issue with the code that the pipe spits out into my tumblr post. Would it be possible to have the pipe generate code that does not stick p tags around the ordered list of songs? If that were possible and the "Imported from Last.fm Tumblr" line could then go inside its own p tags, I think the pipe's output would be friendlier to the css on my (and probably others' ) site(s).
If you take this post as an example, you will see that there is no vertical space between "Imported from ..." and the dividing line directly below it. I'm pretty sure this is because the CSS doesn't "see" the p tags that surround the ordered list and the "Imported from" attribution.
Is it that I haven't listened to any artists yet?
If that's not totally possible, then something weekly or daily would be great too.

How do you get this on to Tumblr?
If you are interested, I built a tool for lastfm twitter integration. Basically if you love a track on lastfm it tweets it. I am testing it now. Tweet me at @pootytang if you are interested.
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=b0d26...
for your recently listened to tracks, why not just use last.fm's widgets?...

Thanks a ton, very exciting.
That's right I guess I could use their widgets, though not sure if they have
one that just spits out one artist song combo. Will have to check. Hope all
rocks for you!
Anyway, do you have idea where can i find that?

As you can see, you only listened to 2 artists last week. When I made the feed, I decided that if a person listened to less than 5 artists for the week, that I would skip the update that week (ie. does a top 5 list make sense when you only listened to 2 artists). In order for the feed to update for you next week, make sure you listen to more than 5 artists this week.
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=b0d26...
http://www.last.fm/user/uriela/charts/
Since the idea is to show your top 5 artists, it's designed to only show results for a given week if you listen to at least 5 bands the prior week.
I visited Last.fm and noticed that they'd drastically changed their website, did they play with the API while they were at it?
any of them this week. I'm not sure why that it. Unfortunately, it's out
of my control. I'll email Tumblr and see if they have any thoughts on it.
I'm sorry to bother you, but I get 'No pipe results for Last.fm Tumblr." when I run the pipe.
Do I have to do something on the last.fm end for it to work??? My username is fdelacruz.

work, you had to listen to at least 5 bands last week. The data comes from
this page on Last.fm...
http://www.last.fm/user/fdelacruz/charts?chartt...
It doesn't look like you listened to any music on Last.fm last week. If you

set.
looks like you just started doing that a few days ago.
"No pipe results for Last.fm Tumblr."
This is particularly weird as I always use Last.fm and when I visit my profile, I do see activity although the pipe is not catching it. I tried to seek for a solution in my Last.fm settings but all seems to be set well. Any ideas?

is that even what i was supposed to grab?
Thanks so much
through Last.fm last week as you can see here...

If you wait till next week, the RSS feed should work since you listened to
music this week.

my username is "oypoodles" if you can figure out how to fix it...
data delay from Last.fm. Wait a day or two and try again. There isn't
anything I can do to fix it since the problem is on their end, but I'm sure
they'll fix it soon.

But I did listen to artists last week so I'm confused
my last.fm name is muckaferguson
this is the url it gives me
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id\x3db0...
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=5ae8...
That's alright I suppose my tumblr just hates me, haha
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=5ae8a...
If that doesn't work, I'm not sure how to help.
I can't figure out if it's my Last.fm or my Tumblr that is the root of the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

you need to listen to 5 or more the prior week in order for this to work.
Thanks alot!! I really appreciate it!
I added it to my google reader so for now I've been copy and pasting that into my tumblr on Sundays, if I remember.
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=5ae8a...
out of curiosity, where did you get the bad url and what browser are you using? several people ran into the same problem, i'm just not sure how you all are getting that weird url.
Tumblr, try contacting their support team.
through Last.fm last week. If that's the case, try again next week.
My Last.fm username is "senhwei". Any ideas why there's a difference ? Thanks again for this great work !
reports. My pipe shows data from the "weekly snapshot" report, which
shows data from the prior Sunday to the most recent Sunday. I think
the report you're looking at on last.fm is a rolling 7 day report,
meaning Thursday to Thursday for today. There's another report that
you can find in last.fm that sync's perfectly with my pipe.
for some reason when i did this, all I'm getting is a link to my last.fm page... I am pretty sure I did it right, but apparently not? lol
Help?
Thanks!
you're still having trouble, let me know your last.fm user name so I
can look into the issue.
Or am I going to have to copy the source code from the feed?
Edit - Never mind it worked :D Thanks
Thanks!

I can´t copy a link...so what do i have to do?

In order for the Top 5 feed to work, you need to have listened to 5 or more
bands. Wait till next week and try again.
i also get the "invalid feed" message. my lastfm is positively4st and this ithe code i'm trying to copy/paste:
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id\x3d5a...
is that not the right code?
could you please help me?
Try this feed URL instead...
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=5ae8a...
way to link that to your last.fm account so those songs are included
in your last.fm stats. Haven't tried it myself.
last week. If you did, let me know your Last.fm user name and I'll check it
out.
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=5ae8a...
Do you not see that list from your end? Try to paste that feed into the Tumblr feed import screen. It should work.
I've looked through the thread above to see what the problem might be before posting this, but I can't figure out what the problem might be...
Last.fm says I've listened to 41 artists this week (http://www.last.fm/user/jacobslr/charts?chartty...)
Last.fm user name: jacobslr
The pipe feed I was trying to import:
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=5ae8a...

Thanks in advance for any advice, and apologies if it's an obvious one that I missed... ;)
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=5ae8a...
You should be able to import than into Tumblr. Where exactly are you running into problems?
Thanks, Joe... ;)

In order for the Top 5 list to update, you need to listen to at least 5 bands that week.

I'm having a bit of a problem with the pipe. I know nothing about them so have no idea what's going wrong! But it says "Pipe engine request failed" or something like that anyway. My user name on Lastfm is Lee20sk if that helps?!
Cheers

Wait till next week and then try to run the Pipe again using this URL...

Let me know what your Last.fm user name is and send me a link to your Tumblr
site, then I'll look into it.

Thanks.

Wait till next week and try again.
If you did and you're still having the problem, let me know your

thanks for your time,

ps, if you check my tumblr, i manually cut and paste to make it seem like i can do it...haha
URL instead as the one you paste into Tumblr, but replace the last part of
the URL that says joelaz to your Last.fm user name...
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=d29d5...
Hopefully, that should work.

i must be doing something wrong, but have no clue where to look and see what. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I love this idea - but it won't work for me. I get the error message when I go to run the pipe - however, I have definitely listened to enough artists through last.fm. I even doubled checked. Anyway you could help me out?
My username on last.fm is stacialovely
Thanks!
Last.fm's end. I'm sure they'll fix it soon. Maybe try again in a couple
days.
thanks!

Would there be a way to just let it pull monthly or maybe bi-monthly charts? I do use Last.fm, but I still use my "real" stereo more, so I often fail at submitting weekly charts. Just wondering if the monthly thing can be done...
created and modify it to run on a monthly basis instead of weekly. There's
a link next to every Pipe labeled "Edit Source". Click that and it creates
a copy of the Pipe that you can view and edit. It might take a little while
to learn Yahoo! Pipes, but it should be possible.
I have decided that I could live with 3 months, since that does make more sense for me than 7 days. I changed the references to weekly charts to that of monthly charts, which, if I'm not mistaken, uses the getTopArtists API.
Sadly, it does not appear to be working. I don't even know where I went wrong, all I ever get is the "No pipe results" error message. Even though I felt bad about it, I published my dysfunctional attempt, hoping the cap locks will deter people.
http://pipes.yahoo.com/hellagood/LMAeupVv3hGMiP...
I'm not asking you specifically because I know you're a busy guy, I just thought I'd post this here any maybe I'm lucky and somehow has attempted and succeeded at doing this for any period of time > 7 days.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)
variable called "period" and entered a value of "3month". That variable
isn't supported by the API call your using. It may be possible to create
the Pipe you're looking for, but it's probably a bit more complicated than
just copying my Pipe and making a few small changes.
Personally, I don't think the Pipe would be all that valuable anyway. If
you only want to update your list once every 3 months, it's probably easier
to post the list by hand. That said, it probably could be done if you or
someone else wants to take up the challenge of creating the Pipe.
Good luck!
you only listened to 2 bands through Last.fm last week...
http://www.last.fm/user/hammerikaner/charts?cha...
You need to listen to 5 or more. Try again next week.
This might sound stupid but when I go to get the RSS code, no URL comes up. :/
What am I doing wrong?
Cheers.
Thanks!
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=d29d5...
Thanks, mate :)
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=d29d5...
week, you only listened to 4 bands through Last.fm...
http://www.last.fm/user/diannecoopert/charts?ch...
You need 5 or more for the feed to work. Try waiting till next Monday,
listen to 5 or more bands by then, and then paste this alternative RSS feed
into Tumblr...
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=cfc13...
That should work.
My username is tinkeh
I know I have more than 5 artists. According to the charts I have 100 unique artists this week..
ran the Pipe for your name. Strange. Here's the RSS feed...

top 5 artists feed to work. Try waiting till next week after you have
listened to several bands.
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=cfc13...
If not, it must be a problem on Tumblr's end. Try contacting them. Your
Yahoo! Pipes feed works fine.
My user name is "sunflowr". What is the WHOLE url for the feed? I notice you trail off when you give people their urls. WHERE does the URL end? Maybe thats where I/we are going wrong.
Thanks! :)
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=cfc13...
If Tumblr is telling you it's an invalid feed, the only thing I can think of
is that it's an error on their end. Perhaps you can contact them. It seems
to be working fine for thousands of other people.

I don't know where to go from here, if you could help at all it would be greatly appreciated.

Would it be possible to modify the pipe to display the top 5 albums, as opposed to artists?
I installed the "feed" yesterday and today it appears on my tumblog but I just have the title, the 5 top artists don't show up... Do you have an idea what is the problem ?
Thx Francis
instructions above). Try to delete the feed and add it again making
sure to follow that step.
1. I get this error whenI run the pipe "No pipe results for Last.fm Tumblr.".
2. you should put our comments before the notes in your theme =P

This is the link I am trying to use as the RSS to start importing my feed: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id\x3dcf...
and it is giving me an error saying this is not a valid feed. What I am doing wrong??
Thanks,
Ben
Please help us Joe. Thanks a lot!!
look into it.
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=cfc13...
look into it.
that you can plug into your Tumblr...
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=cfc13...
or just try again later.
According to Last.fm I've listened to more than 5 artists in the past several days: http://www.last.fm/user/dmaddox1/charts?chartty...
It just started posting the results on the pipe page when I input my Last.fm username (dmaddox1):
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=cfc1...
But when I insert the RSS url into my Tumblr "Customize" page, it still responds with "not a valid feed."
If you have any input as to why this would be the case, and what I can do to fix the feature, please let me know. Thanks.
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=cfc13...
The only thing I can think to tell you is to try contacting Tumblr or just
wait a while and try again. Sorry for the complications, but everything
seems to be working on this end.
thank you.

Sorry for the confusion.
version myself. The Yahoo! Pipes page has a "clone" button, which lets
anyone copy what I made. They could then edit the Pipe to list songs
instead of artists.
adds RSS to your bookmarks toolbar. Try to right-click on the RSS link and
see if you can copy the URL from there. If that doesn't work, I'm not sure
how to help as it sounds like a personal setting in your web browser.
either on Last.fm or on Yahoo! Pipes, neither of which I can fix. My
only suggestion is to try again later... in a day or two. Sorry for
the inconvenience.
