[QUOTE="rtv, post: 390752, member: 12309"] Sorry - this is exactly the way it is supposed to work. In fact MP exposes even more functionality here than last.fm's own client (as I reverse engineered the API). Please understand that last.fm only got the great acceptance among labels because it is still classified as radio. To keep this status they aren't allowed to offer users "on-demand-music" without paying royalities. There are serveral ways around that though: e.g. you can build a playlist on last.fm with all songs you like to hear. Then you listen to that list and skip the tracks you don't like. This is already very close to "on-demand". Notice: [URL="http://www.lastfm.de/subscribe"]Subscribers[/URL] are able to listen to their "own" radio and favorites which offers way more possibilities ;) Notice2: No, I don't get anything from them - I just like their service very much :D Notice3: If you focus a playlist entry and leave it there when the track changes then this will be played next.
