Collage Generator for Last.fm

A command-line app to generate a collage of your favorite albums based on Last.fm scrobbles

Installation

1. Python 3 is required. You can download it from here.
2. Requests and Pillow are required dependencies. Use pip install requests and pip install Pillow to install them.
3. A Last.fm API key is required to fetch a user's top albums. You can get one easily here. You can either put your key in a text file called apikey.txt or pass it as a command line argument (not recommended)

Usage

Run the program from the command-line like so: python3 collage_generator_for_lastfm.py example 1920 1080. You need to provide the user, width, and height but the other arguments are optional. All available arguments are listed below.

                                [--ignore_warnings]
                                user width height

  width                 The width of the output image (in pixels)

  --size SIZE, -s SIZE  The height and width of each album cover (in pixels).
                        Default: 300
  --apikey APIKEY, -k APIKEY
                        Your API key for Last.fm. It is recommended to put
                        your API key in apikey.txt instead of passing it as an
                        argument. An API key is required for this program to
                        work
  --output OUTPUT, -o OUTPUT
                        The filename of the output image. The file extension
                        doesn't have to be included. Default: collage
  --filetype {jpg,png}, -f {jpg,png}
                        The filetype of the output image. Default: jpg
  --jpeg_quality {1-100}, -q {1-100}
                        The quality of the output image (when using JPEG).
                        Higher values look better but produce a larger file
                        size. Default: 100
  --png_compression {0-9}, -c {0-9}
                        The compression level of the output image (when using
                        PNG). Higher values take longer to process but produce
                        a smaller file size. Default: 9
  --period {forever,year,6month,3month,month,week}, -p {forever,year,6month,3month,month,week}
                        The period from which to fetch favorite albums.
                        Default: forever
  --layout {spiral,topleft}, -l {spiral,topleft}
                        The layout of albums in the output image. Spiral
                        places the top albums in the center and less popular
                        albums near the edges using a spiral pattern. Topleft
                        places images column by column, starting from the top-
                        left corner. Default: topleft
  --update_images {auto,yes,no}, -u {auto,yes,no}
                        Whether to fetch updated albums and images from the
                        server. Auto only updates the images if settings are
                        changed or if the downloaded images are over a week
                        old. Default: auto
  --ignore_warnings, -i
                        Ignore all warnings and proceed using default values
