No idea.

It's not ignored, there's an excellent pair of plugins. Slimscrobbler
submits the songs you play to Last.fm, then the Last.fm plugin lets
Squeezebox play your stations. It would be nice if that same capability
was there on SqueezeNetwork, though it gets more complex to do the
Slimscrobbler submissions that way.

Oh get real, we all know there's no electricity outside of the U.S. How
could people have Squeezeboxes without electricity? :)
