[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 290030] Re: Do not scrobble (add to last.fm library) radio songs

[Alex Karpenko]

In an effort to move this along, I've patched banshee myself. I've attached a screenshot of what my change looks like. I am not fully satisfied with this solution, because as it turns out the original song reporting GUI option performed two tasks:
1. It reports a song as "Now Playing" to last.fm
2. It scrobbles the song when the song has finished playing

It's probably sensible to decouple the two to allow the user to report
all songs "now playing", but to scrobble only local tracks or only radio
tracks or both. So I propose to change the Last.fm menu to contain the
following options:

   Report Tracks as "Now Playing"
   Scrobble Local Tracks
   Scrobble Radio Tracks

instead of the current "Enable Song Reporting" option which toggles all
of the above at once.

I'd like to get some input from banshee developers before I proceed with
creating a patch.
