Thank you Jonathan for your valuable work!

Do you think that changes in Last.fm API will include not only radio
streaming but also data song collection (sending metadata on Last.fm
server)?

Loose all such information would be really a pity to me (I've sent more than
28.000 songs to Last.fm through Rb, since 2006...)! Unfortunally I'm not
good at all with coding issues, and I can also encourage who can to still
support this feature.

enjoy, ;)
