Last.fm Folksonomy for genre/tags/smartcrates

[naught101]

From https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/669273

Last.fm has an excellent folksonomy (per-user tagging system). You can access the tags via the api ( http://www.last.fm/api/show/track.getTopTags ), and it returns the tag with the tag popularity (I think it's a percentage of users that used this tag when tagging this track).

It's not *always* useful - you have to ignore certain tags (e.g. "seen live", "favourite"). But it would be cool to have access to those tags in Mixxx, so that tracks could be manually moved in to matching crates, when appropriate. This might be better as a plugin, though, if Mixxx is planning on supporting plugins at some point.

This is probably dependent on the smart crates bug to be really useful: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/661460
