What is not implemented

There are some methods available in LastFM API backend that are not implemented in this package.

• album.addTags
• album.removeTag
• artist.addTags
• artist.removeTag
• auth.getMobileSession
• auth.getSession
• auth.getToken
• tag.getTopTags
• tag.getWeeklyChartList
• track.addTags
• track.love
• track.removeTag
• track.scrobble
• track.unlove
• track.updateNowPlaying
• user.getWeeklyChartList

The tag.getWeeklyChartList and user.getWeeklyChartList methods were ignored, because this package does not handle weeks, but with specific dates. So the fetched data from these methods are useless to the user.

The others are POST and authentication methods. Feel free to add them, learn how to contribute here.
