Actually, it seems that I am able to play 2 different LastFM streams, one on softsqueeze and one on sb2, each with a different LastFM station under the same userid.

Is it possible to make this an option to turn on and off at the server\internet radio\lastfm settings to allow or disallow regular internet radio played items to be transmitted to your play stats on lastfm? That is what I listen too most so those songs and the love, ban captured stats for those songs would be relevant and useful. Craig, James (IT) Wrote: > 3) The custom IR map.

Actually, I was looking to be able to press love/ban at any level of menus when I am listening to songs. That way when something comes on, and I am in screensaver VU or in wireless signal strength, etc, I could just press and hold up or down and love or ban a song (could be lastfm played, internet radio played or played from my harddrive flac files) or right arrow press and hold to skip the song (obviously wouldn't work on internet radio, but ok on lastfm streams or harddrive streaming). If you aren't able to define a lastfm function that works with arrow_up.hold or arrow_up.repeat for example, then could you program it into the plugin to allow for optionally allowing overriding those key pressess globablly, just a thought.

By this do you mean that you dynamically update the screen based on when the current song remaining time is over or if you press love/ban/skip/change Lastfm station, etc? Look for a new version tomorrow. James -------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.
