Not so much muddled as maybe my original post wasn't clear. I very much take your point about general listening to Last.fm - no way I would want the remote in my hand for that, I prefer just to listen to the music. However, I've already given some input to Last.fm (Similar Artist, Tag or specific station) in that scenario. I was just referring to Recommendations, and that certainly used to be treated a bit differently. In particular, you could adjust your recommendations to be biased more towards unknown artists, or "loved" artists etc and plays of Recommendations/Recommended Users used to have quite a significant impact on your neighbours. However, having looked at the Last.fm blog, I'm not clear that any of this has survived in the latest version (July 2008) and particularly the new recommendation engine, which now serves up almost instant recommendations based on your recent listening. I also take your point that Recommendations shouldn't properly be scrobbled, however the original Last.fm client and the playwithinweb feature both do this, so it looks like expected behaviour at the Last.fm end. -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?
