Yes, still scrobbling and suggesting tunes for you. I believe the suggestions will have links to other (Spotify) music services, just no streaming. Sent from my HUAWEI Y300-0100 using Tapatalk jimbobvfr400's Profile:

OK, this seems to be a bit frustrating. Let me repeat this in other words: there is no alternative for LastFm on mysqueezebox.com with a SB Classic? I only can install the 3rd Party plugin on my server. Am I right? Many of the music services out there provide some kind of smart radio feature.

I guess all good things come to an end end of April - LastFM has been brilliant for me, but clearly they have a business plan that does not include device support anymore. Is Spotify any good ? Can you set it up in a similar way to LastFM e.g. random playback of various types / genres of music
