This program will be working while in the terminal, it take a decent amount of time to process, will need to look into why, or maybe figure out how to lower the time of processing.

requests, json, bs4

1. Go to last.fm site and fill out information for generating an API key, Create_API_account. You don't really need to place a callback URL or an application homepage -- did not utilize features that required these things.
2. Next screen, assumed everything checked out okay by last.fm, the 'API key' and 'Shared secret' will be given.
3. Place your 'API key' within the prototype.py, line begins with API_KEY= '', fill between the ' '. Place the 'Registered to' name as the USER_AGENT = '', fill between the ' '.
4. Save, you are ready to explore!

1. THIS IS STILL A WORK-IN-PROCESS-PROGRAM.
