Good for you. Perhaps din't noticed the problems fixed in 0.0.5 (Do not lose cached tracks after returning from offline.) and 0.0.6 (Plug a very nasty leak.), or perhaps you just don't care. These problems were never present in maemo-scrobbler, even from Day 1 (before being public), because I decided to start from a platform-independent library that was easy to test without a real client. So I wrote scripts to generate fake playlists and try different scenarios in a systematic manner from my desktop. The testing included memory leaks detection with valgrind, and resource profiling with OProfile. All this things are very difficult/impossible to do when you are working directly on the device through MAFW. Only when libscrobbler was working perfectly from my desktop did I try to write a MAFW client. >> Initially I tried to improve mfaw-lastfm, but I noticed so many problems >> that I decided to start from scratch, and soon I had all the >> functionality I wanted. > > Whilst it's your prerogative to re-invent the wheel, as a happy user I > feel I should point out that it does seem you are belittling Claudio's > effort with the tone of your email. I'm not reinventing the wheel. Nobody (including mafw-lastfm) is providing a platform-independent, simple, well-tested, freedesktop-friendly scrobbling library. This library can be used on GNOME, Xfce, Meego, any music player, or an independent D-Bus service. So now that we have such a library, perhaps it would make sense to use it in Maemo? I tried that with mafw-lastfm, didn't stick, so now I'm trying with maemo-scrobbler.
