Last.fm client on OS X does not respect excluded folders at "playing now"
Major privacy issue:
Last.fm client on OS X (possible Windows too?) ONLY respects excluded folders for the actual submission but still publishes tracks for "playing now".
I would really appreciate a quick fix for this. I cannot use the client until this got resolved. And I'm sure that many users aren't aware of this flaw.
I consider it a major issue because I disabled certain folders for a reason. In fact this problem can't be closer to the definition: Submitting data that the user didn't approve.
They are excluded if they do not SCROBBLE, which they're not doing.. Which is what the feature says it does, it says nothing about the now playing notification.
"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities" "I don't want to believe, I want to know"
I can't use the official client as long as this issue exists. If you can that's fine, but you're not helping here.
The client either needs the option to not submit any "Now Playing" data or start honoring the exclusion folders. Disabling the feature on the site also turns off all export functions that would be populated from regular submission - so that's no valid workaround.
