Yea indeed !

Yes, but we should be able to have different login, hence multiple last
streams at once..
Is something like:
lastfm://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED] doable ?

In facts, that's currently what I've been doing so far..
The only thing I see is how we should implement metadatas, since they are
passed along with the file, but there are no id tags in the file..

These functions can be seen as completely disconnected, we may implement them
