Have played a few tracks this evening with the Pi disconnected from
Wi-Fi and set as the WAP, and confirmed that Playlog plugin shows no
history of the tracks played - presume this also means the Last.fm
plugin won't store up any Scrobbles.  Odd to think the Raspberry Pi has
no internal clock on the motherboard like PCs do - guess it's a space
saving measure to avoid needing to put a battery on the board.

Will experiment tomorrow to see if I can make the phone a WAP and tether
the Pi to that.  What would happen in the "cruise ship" scenario, where
the Android phone isn't connect to any mobile data or Wi-Fi network -
would there be anything for the Pi to actually tether to on the
phone..?

Cheers
