(a somewhat buggy player too :/) It works well for me, but there are still some things we can probably improve on, or ideas we could think about. * We should probably have a link to the last.fm homepage, the sign-up page and/or some description of what AudioScrobbler is. Currently anyone who doesn't know what it is, will be confused by the preferences tab. We could also have a link to the Rhythmbox last.fm group[0]. * Utilising some of the AS web sevices [1], the most obviously useful one is to be able to view your AS profile. I started working on it the other week, so that "View->Audioscrobbler Profile" would bring up a window with your profile, but I need to understand libsoup better. * Several people have requested last.fm radio support. The last.fm player is open-source (albeit qt/c++), which would make implementing it much easier. * AS tags are very similar to the "personal catagories" idea that was discussed a while ago. If we did implement catagories, then adding "send to last.fm" or "get categories from last.fm" would fit in well. * Recommendations, related-artists and the like -but I'm not really sure how these would fit into Rhythmbox. I'm not sure whether all of these would work in Rhythmbox, or if we should add them, but they /could/ be done.
