At the moment my plugins doesn't need neither LastFM nor
AudioScrobbler/SlimScrobbler plugins to work. If the functionality that
I need for Custom Scan (similar artists) or TrackStat (tracks played) is
implemented in either James plugins or the official plugins, I might
change this so these plugins are required to use that functionality in
TrackStat/Custom Scan. But as long as this isn't the case,
TrackStat/CustomScan will contain its own implementation of these
things.

Just as information:
- The "tracked played" event James purposed would make it possible to
remove some logic from TrackStat that today is used to decide if the
play count and last played time attributes on a track should be updated
or not. It would be great if this functionality was moved into an
official plugin as not only iTunes Update and TrackStat could use this,
it would also be great if the standard SqueezeCenter handled play counts
and last played time this way. An of course the new official Audio
Scrobbler plugin would also be able to use this functionality.

- The "similar artists" functionality provided through Custom Scan has
nothing to do with AudioScrobbler/LastFM plugins besides the fact that
they are using the same data source (lastfm.com). So I would imagine
that this functionality will be implemented in CustomScan also in the
future.
