 Rolling Stones?  Or a group like a Last.fm tag?
 
 3.  friends playlists:  yes

thanks for the reply - been on LastFM are fair while so I know what its
about

But to clarify

1. Artist Radio; is Artist Radio when you look at the Web UI for Last
FM same as Squeezebox Last FM 'Similar Artist' on the menu on the
controller

2. Group Radio; some people set up groups like Hotel Costes or Ninja
Tune etc ie a comminity group on Last FM web UI; can these be accessed
and are they the same on the start / search radio feature on the menu on
the controller

3. Friends playlists - can play Favourites or Friends Music ie their
Library but cannot see / search or select via the controller individual
Playlists created by Friends / Neighbours where via the Last FM web UI
you can select (but obviously horrible as you are playing it via a
website rather than squeezebox)

and finally

4. Any way to select individual tracks as you are via the Web UI


Hopefully that explains what I am after

Input with the remotes can be painful, as you no doubt know.  What I
do: play a song by a given artist, bring up the 'context menu' on that
song (+ on the radio, for example, will do this).  Choose 'On Last.fm
Radio', and you'll get the artists radio stations.

Talking Heads are playing right now, I see:
Talking Heads
Talking Heads / David Byrne
Talking Heads/David Byrne
Talking Heads vs Trick Daddy
(and then the usual list of completely bogus artists on last.fm...)

Not sure about the group things.  I think the 3rd party app supports
those as well as 'neighbor radio' and such.

funny thing is have been trying to figure it out for months and yes -
just found it before you posted that but its what I was looking for and
you said it better than I can

Hopefully someone else wll find it useful

Rick

ps Yes I did try the manual entry and it was painful

the web UI
