Me, too.

The problem is that emms-lastfm.el isn't up-to-date when it comes to the
lastfm streams.  Since the time I've implemented that the protocol has
changed several times, and I only updated the "scrobbeling" part,
e.g. track submission, because that's what I use only.

To make things worse, only the scrobbeling part is documented.  The
streaming part's spec is how it's implemented in the official lastfm
client.  (At least that was the situation when I looked at it the last
time.)

So if someone volunteers to look at the official player's sources and to
implement the streaming api, that would be great, but it's not on my
todo list.

Bye,
