  # = Authentification
  #
  # There are 2 ways to get an auth token :
  #
  # == Desktop-App
  # 1. Get a new token to request authorisation:
  #     token = Rockstar::Auth.new.token
  # 2. Open a webbrowser with http://www.last.fm/api/auth/?api_key=xxxxxxxxxxx&token=xxxxxxxx
  # 3. Wait for the User to confirm that he accepted your request.
  # 4. Continue with "Get the session token"
  #
  # == Web-App
  # 1. Redirect the user to http://www.last.fm/api/auth/?api_key={YOUR_API_KEY}&cb={YOUR_RETURN_URL}
  # 2. If the user accepts, lastfm will redirect to YOUR_RETURN_URL?token=TOKEN
  #     token = params[:token]
  # 3. Continue with "Get the session token"
  #
  # == Get the session token
  # 1. Use the previous token and call
  #     session = Rockstar::Auth.new.session(token)
  # 2. Store the session.key and session.username returned. The session.key will not
  #    expire. It is save to store it into your database.
