James, well after all of my grief yesterday, I guess I owe you some thoughtful feedback, so here it is: this is working great, I love it.
The main annoyance is one I suspect you can do nothing at all about, which is the inherent delay in some of the commands (we just have to remind ourselves of the magic that's being worked here... a personalised radio station coming over the internet, as opposed to the comparatively easy task of picking a file off a local disc!)

I had to go back to plugins/internet radio/lastfm, then I got "press play to start lastfm, which did restart. - one other thing.. just after loading this up last night, I had an incident where slimserver had a runaway of some kind: 100% CPU, no responsiveness, eating virtual memory. I wasn't logging at the time so have no evidence, and I can't definitely say it was this plugin, but on the other hand this is the first time this has happened and I was fiddling with the plugin controls at the time. I've not been able to reproduce this, so this could easily be another red herring, but I just thought I'd mention it in case someone else gets something similar. Thats all for now - I need to go and do some work!! But thanks again for this, its great.
