RSS Feeds for Last.fm
A third-party service provides RSS feeds for Last.fm users after the platform removed its native feed functionality during a site redesign. The service offers URLs for recent tracks, loved tracks, top artists, and top artists with customizable time periods. In 2025, the service added support for recommended tracks in both RSS and JSON formats.
