Well, basic, yes, but important? Can you live with the web interface showing "just listened" vs "now playing"? Or, what would you rather have a) rock-solid queue handling, or b) support for now-playing? In a mobile device I think a) is more important, but in a desktop I think b) is probably the case. Besides, I believe the best mafw-lastfm can do right now is; if you are disconnected for two hours, when you are connected back, you don't have now-playing until two hours pass. I would not consider that top-notch support for now-playing. So, I don't think loosing that _temporarily_ in favor of a more generic library with other benefits (IMHO better suited for mobile) is a bad trade-off. In any case, I filed an issue for that... you are welcome to vote up: http://github.com/felipec/maemo-scrobbler/issues#issue/1 > And not that I have anything against Libre.fm (quite the contrary), > but I'd say that at this moment it is the lack of Libre.fm support the > feature that most users won't notice. Yes, but we agree that there must be some users out there, right? (otherwise other clients would probably not have implemented multi-scrobbling). Now, would you rather keep a feature that's not essential to the majority of users, and probably quite marginal, than providing support for libre.fm users, who can do nothing at all? IOW; taking a bit from the majority, to give a lot to the minority. I think not doing that is egotistical. Anyway, it's probably not worth discussing more. I decided not to provide now-support and concentrate on multi-scrobbling for v1.0, but I will do so soon. Feedback is appreciated if you feel this is an important feature, specially in the form of votes in the issue tracker.
