The most obvious thing would be a user/password field and having RB do
the thing rbscrobbler does now: submissions.

I was quite amazed by the ease of it, simply create an account, install
rbscrobbler, enter details and it does what it should do. Even better
would be eliminating the second step.

Also, supporting the lastfm:// protocol would be nice, but probably
quite hard, that's a secondary (later, far future) goal :-)

If we get the submissions thing going, perhaps the other way around
(recommendations) could be fun, though I don't see a nice way yet how to
integrate that.
