+LastImport Plugin
+=================
+
+The ``lastimport`` plugin downloads play-count data from your `Last.fm`_
+library into beets' database. You can later create :doc:`smart playlists
+</plugins/smartplaylist>` by querying ``play_count`` and do other fun stuff
+with this field.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+To use the ``lastimport`` plugin, first enable it in your configuration (see
+:ref:`using-plugins`). Then install the `requests`_ library by typing::
+
+    pip install requests
+
+Next, add your Last.fm username to your beets configuration file::
+
+    lastfm:
+        user: beetsfanatic
+
+.. _requests: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/
+.. _Last.fm: http://last.fm
+
+Importing Play Counts
+---------------------
+
+Simply run ``beet lastimport`` and wait for the plugin to request tracks from
+Last.fm and match them to your beets library. (You will be notified of tracks
+in your Last.fm profile that do not match any songs in your library.)
+
+Then, your matched tracks will be populated with the ``play_count`` field,
+which you can use in any query or template. For example::
+
+    $ beet ls -f '$title: $play_count' play_count:5..
+    Eple (Melody A.M.): 60
+
+To see more information (namely, the specific play counts for matched tracks),
+use the ``-v`` option.
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+Aside from the required ``lastfm.user`` field, this plugin has some specific
+options under the ``lastimport`` section:
+
+* ``per_page``: The number of tracks to request from the API at once.
+* ``retry_limit``: How many times should we re-send requests to Last.fm on
+  failure?
