Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: banshee

On the last.fm plugin on the left sidepane in banshee I want to listen
to the free stations "Personal" and "Recommended".

In terminal it says:
[Warn  22:25:22.723] Lastfm error AuthenticationFailed : The Webservices API key supplied does not have permission to stream / create new radio trials
[Warn  22:25:25.884] Lastfm error AuthenticationFailed : The Webservices API key supplied does not have permission to stream / create new radio trials

In the UI I get the error message:
"Failed to tune in station. Stations are only available to paying Last.fm subscribers."

That is simply wrong! Free listening e.g. from Germany (ok, Youtube not
so ^^) to last.fm stations like "recommended"-station is legally and
authorized and works from the web interface and works in rhythmbox for
me.

This option is still allowed for non-subscribe users from some european
countries without the monthly fee. Though in the past it got more
restricted.

However this works flawlessy in rhythmbox's lastfm plugin and from the
website.

I am connected from the banshee plugin to lastfm, scrobbling works, and
the overview of lastfm in banshee works well, too. But for me this is a
showstopper, that I cannot listen to free lastfm stream and banshee
saying "it' not available". Not true.

I guess this is probably NOT RELATED to other bugs like "cannot listen
to stations at all / Gstramer error". But I don't know exaclty. Thanks
in advance.
