Automatic Refresh Feature

Something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time turned out to be a fairly quick and painless feature enhancement. I simply love Ruby on Rails and the easy integration with Prototype. AJAX becomes a breeze.

The feature in question is automatic updating of your recent tracks and artists shown in the sidebar. Earlier you would have to manually reload the page but now it automagically updates every minute. That is, it checks the server to see if your listening data has been updated from last.fm and if so updates your sidebar.

The feature is hardly noticable but I’m already noticing that I’m manually refreshing a whole lot less.
