[mythtv] LastFM support in MythMusic

I get this error when I try the code you wrote...
I don't really get what you mean by define strings in the start of your mail...

Thanks for the help, and sorry that I am such a bad C++ programmer...
But at least I get the opportunity to learn...

Thanks,

Willem
