last.fm remote control is a client for the last.fm stream webservice, implemented purely in html+javascript. this means that you can control your last.fm radio stream with an html page, with some limitations.

it has the big advantage that it's snappy. no sucky skinning problems, it loads in a breeze, doesn't crash or hang your pc. and you can bookmark radio stations!

and: you don't have to give your last.fm-password to a stranger (i.e., me) in order to use this. all communication takes place between your computer and the last.fm-servers; I won't see your username, not even your session ID. this page won't autoconnect to my server to "check for software updates", and transmit some user data along the way. I don't trust closed-source software that requires your login data, and neither should you.
