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.
