I agree entirely - but Slim is just the middleman in this case and there
are multiple imperfections on either side of it (the broadcaster and
last.fm).

I think that for those that play a lot from internet radio stations (as
opposed to internet radio services) there is all sorts of rubbish that
ends up in profiles.
I gave an example in the last.fm forum - I happened across an advert
for "Flexo-Factor" on one of the internet radio stations that I tuned
in to.

3 weeks ago it had
637 plays (198 listeners) 
Now it has
1,538 plays (339 listeners)
http://www.last.fm/music/Flexo+Factor/_/Flexo+Factor
Basically it is the GIGO principle - but the annoying part is that the
garbage pollutes profiles.

You might have seen from a similar thread a few weeks ago - I hacked my
SqueezeCenter so that internet radio is not scrobbled - but I would
welcome an official patch.
