emms-3.0 looks o.k. with Emacs 22. However, with Emacs 21 I get:

>>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/app-emacs/emms-3.0/work/emms-3.0 ...
While compiling toplevel forms in file
/var/tmp/portage/app-emacs/emms-3.0/work/emms-3.0/emms-lastfm.el:
  !! File error (("Cannot open load file" "url"))
Done
make: *** [emms-lastfm.elc] Error 1

Seems it does not work with Emacs 21 anymore. OTOH, I can find nothing in the
documentation saying that Emacs 22 would be required now.

Could you ask upstream for clarification?

Hi,

emms, or at least the emms-lastfm.el module, require the url library. That
library is part of GNU Emacs 22.1. In Emacs 21 it was part of the w3 browser
package, so that has to be a dependency for emacsen < 21.

But since there were some recent changes to the url library short before emms
3.0 was released, I'm not too sure if emms-lastfm will work with it. At least
it should compile...

Bye,
Tassilo (emms dev)

Ups, that has to be "...so that has to be a dependency for emacsen < 22."

Thanks for the info. Emacs/w3 is not in portage and I think that it makes no
sense to add it to satisfy emms's dependencies with Emacs 21.
