I don't want Coverart i want to include Last.fm Artistart Pics to my MP3s...

What I know - how to get the Data?  
What I don't know - how to use the Data!

Let's say i want to Tag all my Depeche Mode Title with the current max voted Depeche Mode Art...

I can open the the following URL with an URLencoded Artistname:  
[http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/artist/De...ode/similar.xml](http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/artist/Depeche%20Mode/similar.xml)

I get an XML File looking like this:

```
<similarartists artist="Depeche Mode" streamable="1" picture="http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/160/132698.jpg" mbid="8538e728-ca0b-4321-b7e5-cff6565dd4c0">
... unneeded info ...
</similarartists>

```

So there is a picture attribute in the root tag of that xml file..

**How to get this picture as album art in all mp3s who has "Depeche Mode" as Artist?**
