The reason is because the Last.fm API docs imply that you should
scrobble everything, and mark different types of data as such:
Code:
--------------------
The source of the track. Required, must be one of the following codes:
P
Chosen by the user (the most common value, unless you have a reason for
choosing otherwise, use this).
R
Non-personalised broadcast (e.g. Shoutcast, BBC Radio 1).
E
Personalised recommendation except Last.fm (e.g. Pandora, Launchcast).
L
Last.fm (any mode). In this case, the 5-digit Last.fm recommendation key must
be appended to this source ID to prove the validity of the submission (for
example, "o[0]=L1b48a").
U
Source unknown.
--------------------
Why would they define a special 'R' code for radio if they didn't
intend for it to be scrobbled? Isn't the point of scrobbling to log
*everything* you play? What's done with that data later is a separate
issue in my opinion.
