Enable LastFM Recommendations

[Batwam]

I was wondering, would there be value in loading lastFM suggestions playlists in addition to listenbrainz.

These playlists aren't very well documented but based on my experimentations, Recommended,Mix, Library and Neighbours are available as json. This public data using the lastfm username, no token needed:

https://www.last.fm/player/station/user/$lastFM_user/recommended

https://www.last.fm/player/station/user/$lastFM_user/mix

https://www.last.fm/player/station/user/$lastFM_user/library

https://www.last.fm/player/station/user/$lastFM_user/neighbours

As far as I know, the data doesn't include any listenBrainzID but it does include a youtube link which should make it very easy to download using yt-dlp:

{
  "_name": "False Alarm",
  "url": "/music/The+Weeknd/_/False+Alarm",
  "duration": 220,
  "artists": [
    {
      "_name": "The Weeknd",
      "url": "/music/The+Weeknd",
      "name": "The Weeknd"
    }
  ],
  "_playlinks": [
    {
      "affiliate": "youtube",
      "id": "CW5oGRx9CLM",
      "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW5oGRx9CLM",
      "source": "global_suggestion"
    }
  ],
  "spelling_id": 874859429,
  "name": "False Alarm",
  "playlinks": [
    {
      "affiliate": "youtube",
      "id": "CW5oGRx9CLM",
      "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW5oGRx9CLM",
      "source": "global_suggestion"
    }
  ]
}

This would be the feature to make me switch from re-command to Explo.
ListenBrainz recommendations are nice, but sometimes there seem to be problems like no new playlist being generated. LastFM recommendations also seem to be a bit better in general.

If no one else steps up to implement this, then I might give this a shot myself.

The other thing with LastFM suggestions if I'm not mistaken is that they give a different result each time you ping them. This means that you can get new playlists every day if you want to, no need to wait for a week for the next recommendation.
