Ability to Love/Ban a track that is playing in the android player.

Also, a shorter track bar in landscape mode, so the end time is not pushed to the absolute edge of the screen, and broken.

Currently it displays like this:
05:
20

(I am on droid)

@darkmilinko it sounds like a dodgy connection - try different headphones, and if that doesn't work get someone to check the socket in the phone.

feature requests

4) station name and cumulative play time for station added to display

You can disable this feature by turning off "Headset Interruption" in the app's preferences.

Love the app! Thanks for the great work.

Feature Request:

A 4x2 or 2x2/2x3 widget with album art would be great.

It would be nice to be able to look up an artist without having to play them first.

I basically think you're missing a trick with the events side of thing at the minute. Maybe I'm asking too much; but I'd like to look up an artist and see gigs local to where I am (which could either run off the location listed on my Last.fm profile or via my physical location at that moment in time, or both).

From there, I'd like to be able change my attendance status on the gig listing and have the option to add it to the calendar on my Android phone.

The Last.fm App is pretty kick-ass anyway, but if you really pushed the boat out and did some really nice stuff with it - maybe you could have the app respond to the user's account; so if a member with a 'Free' Last.fm account signs in, it holds pretty basic features, like the ability to scrobble and allow you to listen to your station. And then if you signed in with a Last.fm Subscribers account, more options would be unlocked - like access to profiles, gig information, related artists, more radio stations, etc.

That way you're still delivering a basic service for non-subscribers, but at the same time it's extra encouragement for people to get a pro account - for the extra features on their phone.

XM Replacement

I use my Motorola Android as a replacement for satellite radio. This means the orientation most used is Landscape instead of the normal Portrait. In this orientation the menu is not very user friendly. I would suggest moving the tabs to the left of the menu (instead of on top) and reducing the height of the menu items. You should be able to see at least 5 stations.

Open the app

Can you make the small last.fm red area on the top left of the widget link to the app? For more than one reason. One being if the app has been killed in a task manager the widget play button wont work so I have to open the app.

On another note, thanks for your interaction with the community by taking suggestions and for replying to my email. Most major app developers just ignore all of this stuff and do as they please.

Open your closed mind and close your open mouth.

Thanks, I quit using the task manager since I got my N1 so it's no big deal any more.

Change Gtalk Status

I've submitted this request to the Google site, but thought I'd post here too. It's amazing to me that there still is no app or native application to have your Gtalk IM client status update to reflect the current track being scrobbled / played on Android devices.

Pandora has a different music license than we do (for example, they can only skip 6 times, while we have no limit on skips). Our license with the record labels does not allow us to pause songs.

Makes perfect sense. That's what I wanted to know :) I knew Pandora had the agreement on skips. I wasn't aware that the reason for pause was for the same thing. I prefer last.fm a million times over Pandora either way.

And on that note

Am I stupid, or is not possible to "love" a track that's being played in the normal music player? It scrobbles fine, but opening the last.fm app while it's playing just gives me the artist bio. To "love" it I have to stop the music and navigate to my profile, recently played tracks. Seems like a missing button.
