Yes, I think we are talking on the same lines.  I don't think a new "Random 
songs by similar artists" is needed, but it would be good to have play on 
"LastFM Similar Artists" to play a dynamic playlist.

That lists the first few similar artists, followed by ....  Is it possible to 
have a link to display the full similar artists list?

What object types are available for selection?  Could this control be a 
drop-down list?

Yes, maybe, unless it slows the UI down?  I'm adding it now.
Also, I'm missing the track URL item, which is really useful when I see an 
incorrect tag, as I then copy the track path into an mp3 editor.  So, I have to 
switch to the standard builtin menus to find the path (or need to add it to all 
of the various menus).
