Yamaha MusicCast LastFM DLNA Scrobber in GoLang

What

Reads DLNA playback by making request to MusicCast server, and sends scrobbing data to LastFM account with minimal stdout.

Why

I use plex for my music, and use it's last.fm integration for music discovery. For MusicCast, I use it's DLNA server, which does not have last.fm integration. So I needed to integrate the DLNA player with my last.fm account to get all play data.

How

Current playing artist and track collection happens from MusicCast server. The application then connects to LastFM API via api.last.fm, and sends scrobble data.
