Love / Unlove Tracks

Loving and unloving tracks requires a one-time connection to your Last.fm account. No password needed — it uses Last.fm's secure web authorization.

Setup:

1. Add your API Secret to preferences — go to last.fm/api/accounts, click your app, and copy the secret shown there
2. Open the Now Playing command — the metadata panel shows your connection status
3. Open the action panel and click Step 1: Open Last.fm Auth — your browser opens Last.fm's authorization page
4. Click Allow access on Last.fm, then come back to Raycast
5. Open the action panel again and click Step 2: Complete Connection

The same two-step flow is available directly from the Menu Bar Player dropdown under Last.fm.

Your session is cached indefinitely — you only need to do this once. To revoke access, click Disconnect.

Once connected, Now Playing and the Menu Bar Player each show a single Love ♥ or Unlove action depending on whether the current track is already loved.

Note for existing users: The API secret is shown once when you first create the app. If you no longer have it, visit last.fm/api/accounts, click on your app, and the secret should be visible. If not, delete the app and create a new one — the API key can stay the same as it does not change.
