How do i make a Recently Played Sig?

[Recursion]

How do i make a recently played sig without using Last.fm i have seen that some people use http://sambro75.freecoolsite.com/ wich some one probably set up for them. I would like to know how to do this aswell. So i dont have to use Last.fm.

I post this here because it involves XML and stuff but i dont know how.

Any Help??

Will +REP!!

Thanks

Hey,
Well, To get mine i did.
Sign up at www.last.fm make a account on there
And then i PM'd Redstcraous(sorry i dont know spelling but he goes alot in the 'Music' Forum) and he designed me a sig and then coded it and uploaded for me and i just added it to my sig.
So basically
Get in touch with him =]
Thanks alot and hope it helps

/*
* The options that are listed below may be specified in the url if the allowParameters option is
* true. To do so first append a question mark ? to the end of the url. Next, specify the option
* name followed by an equal sign = and then the value; for example, option=value. Multiple options
* are specified by separating them with an ampersand &; for example, option1=value1&option2=value2.
* Enter %26 to specify an ampersand & character in the url, %3D for an equal = sign.
*
* The username option is an exception and is always allowed to be specified in the url, but whether
* or not it is actually used depends on other options.
*
* All parameters may be specified by their regular name or by a short form; the short form that can
* be used is specified in parenthesis at the beginning of the parameter's description. The general
* naming convention for the short name is to use the first letter of each word comprising the name.
* Be aware of conflicts though, such as backgroundColor (bc) and borderColor (bdc). Whether the
* full or short name is used specify the parameter name in lowercase.
*
* Examples
*
* scrobblersig.php
* scrobblersig.php?fontsize=24
* scrobblersig.php?labelcolor=aa0000&trackcolor=a9b2 00
* scrobblersig.php?fs=24
