A new utility, lfm.xiffy.nl, has been launched to provide RSS feeds for Last.fm user profiles. Last.fm, a popular music tracking and discovery platform, does not natively offer RSS support for user activity, making it difficult for users to track their listening history or friends' updates via feed readers. This tool bridges that gap by generating standardized RSS feeds based on a user's Last.fm username. The service is lightweight and designed for developers or power users who prefer decentralized monitoring of their music data. By converting Last.fm's activity into an RSS format, the tool allows for seamless integration with various news aggregators and automation platforms. This project highlights the ongoing demand for interoperability in social music platforms and demonstrates how simple web utilities can enhance user experience by providing access to data that is otherwise siloed within a proprietary interface.
