[QUOTE="onkl, post: 396047, member: 11584"] Just to make sure everyone is aware: Last.fm has decided that people who do not reside in the USA. UK or Germany can't have free access to last.fm radio streams. There 'll be a 30 track free trial, after which you'll have to pay EUR 3 per month for further listenning. Scrobbling etc. will remain free. Seems to be related with international licensing. While I think that the comment section of [url=http://blog.last.fm/2009/03/24/lastfm-radio-announcement]their blog post announcing this[/url] is the proper place for feedback on this measure as it is, it might be useful to discuss the consequences for the last.fm plugin. As a kickoff to that:;) [LIST] [*]An option to stop using the radio features of the plugin, so that listeners can remove the "irrelevant" buttons. [*] Even better: Maybe the plugin can check whether the user has a valid subscription for radio listening and show/hide the radio section as a result of it. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
