Hi Andy,

I'd love to submit a patch, but I wouldn't know how to, or have enough
time!

I'll have a think about the genre submit, and track exclusion and see
what I can come up with.
I quite like the Philips idea of LFM personas and libraries, but I only
have one LFM account, and don't tend to make use of multiple libraries. 
It would make sense to me though, supporting dynamic use of multiple LFM
accounts, either by a specific tag or by library.

What are other people's views on submitting the genre with the track
information?  Am I in a minority of people who like that?

For me it is useful for two reasons:

1.  I like keeping track of all the stuff I've listened to, and being
able to chop it up by genre...I'm a bit anal like that.
2.  I'm contributing tag information to Last.FM's pile o' metadata,
improving the listening experience for me and others (he said vainly)..

I'd see it working very simply....you play a piece of music from your
own music library.  The scrobbler submits track information as per
usual, but also submits the genre you have tagged it with.  The
scrobbler also obeys the tag-separator you've specific in SC settings,
to allow for multiple genres.

As for submission exclusion, I would think I should provide the
scrobbler with a list of genre tags I've used on my music.  If a track
is played that has one of those tags listed in the genre, that track is
not submitted.

I'd be interested in other's feedback on this before I submit an
enhancement request.

Chris.
