Hi there,

I've seen the LastRhythm plugin, but all I have now are ideas and a few
sample code. I'm not sure where it will go, and how much it will differ from
LastRhythm (it will not be the same, that's for sure). If you are
interested, I have done a plugin that automatically gets a similar song of
the one playing and puts that in the queue. It uses Last.fm and is
availiable somewhere in the Wiki or the mailing-list (sorry I cant find it
from you, I'm not at home). It is not well tested and I havent developed it
further, but you can try it and if you find any bugs I can fix them.

About Rhythmbox blocking with LastRhythm, that should'nt happen. I've done a
few plugins getting information from the internet, and none of them had to
block the UI. That is probably a problem in LastRhythm. I will take a look
if I can help it in anyway.

Bye,
Alexandre
