    date['#text'] is incorrect for my TZ, showing 5hrs ahead

    Hi all,

    I couldn't find this in my searches, hopefully something simple.

    I'm grabbing from this JSON feed :

    http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=user.getrecenttracks&user=alksdeef&api_key=xxxxx&format=json&callback=?

    where my api_key is my api_key. Everything shows up fine except the time shown is a little over 5 hrs ahead of my timezone (EST). Any idea what might be causing this? Looking at my "recently played" -> settings I see it is set correctly to EST.

    Thanks,
    Forrest

    utc only, why???

    Great so now I see that the time is UTC, so I have to convert this time to EST myself? Why wouldn't it give me the time as EST because that's what I set my TZ to?

    Last.fm cannot know your local timezone and your application might have users on the other side of the world where users have a different time zone than yours. You'll have to determine the timezone and daylight saving time yourself and add it to the UTC time.
