Last.FM Downloader Lets You Download Last.FM Streams and Cover Art [Downloads] - 510th Edition

Windows only: Last.FM Downloader is a lightweight application for grabbing music from the popular streaming music service Last.FM and saving it for local use.

Unlike some of the similar applications we’ve previously reviewed like TheLastStream and LastSharp, Last.FM Downloader doesn’t require .NET or installation. The application is completely stand alone with no installation required. Usage is straight forward, run the application and plug in a URL for the song or playlist you want to download, you can even grab the similar artists playlist if you’re looking for a little variety.

While the author’s web site notes that you don’t need a Last.FM account, it seems to be only semi-true: for some strange reason I could download the similar artists playlist without being logged in but I could only download individual songs when logged in. Last.FM Downloader is portable freeware, Windows only.
