Thanks for your reply. I wonder if it would be better to use the scrobble
event to just "artificially" keep track of the play count? I say
artificially because it would blindly increment the play count and not be
100% sure that the scrobble was successful, but if it actually updates on a
scheduled time period then any offset would be corrected then.

This seems like a solution to the expected behavior without the need for
sending more requests and wasting bandwidth.

I did have to enter my password. Actually, I've made the leap and updated to
Ubuntu 11.04 alpha 1 now (previously using 10.10) and scrobbling from the
radio playlist works as expected. This bug may be a result of the backport
as I mentioned before, so don't worry about this one anymore. :)

While I've got your attention, would it be possible to make the Last.fm Ban
and Love buttons stay visible for my own personal/local Library? Otherwise,
you have to select Last.fm from the list and then Love/Ban. I realize this
may not be wanted by people who don't use Last.fm at all, but it seems like
a feature that should be enabled after you've given the plugin access to
your Last.fm account. Just food for thought.

Thanks for your work on the new plugin! I love it!
