So I guess this bug has been abandoned. Well, I'm no programmer, but this should be an easy fix. When playing through a USB system like some car stereos and AV Receivers support, the iPod app looks the same but the music is played in a different way.
For example, if you plug in the phone while it is already playing, the receiver will not play the music. You will have to play a new song via the receiver.
However, the Phone still displays song info in the same way, still has the Play icon in the status bar e.t.c. so is presenting the song information as normal.
I would happily donate what I can to a developer who can fix this, having invested in an expensive receiver which works well with my iPhone, except for this one problem. However I'm not holding my breath as I haven't seen a Scrobbl update in Cydia for years...
Same here using my iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.1 on JVC KD-R811. iPhone is connected via USB. Going to try deactivating Scrobble over Edge/3G and choosing songs ditrectly via iPod app on iPhone instead of via the radio. Going to report back here.
@Developer: Please fix this! Its such an awesome app!!
So in my previous post I said that when my iPhone was plugged into my AV receiver via USB, the iPod app still displayed song info, however it appears this behaviour was influenced by a Cydia package. I beleive it was "NoAccessorySplash".
I have got a new iPhone handset which is running 4.3.1 and therefore (currently) unjailbreakable. This led me to search for "iScrobble" on the App store. I seem to remember hearing that it wasn't very good, but I thought it was worth a try.
Searching the App Store for the word "Scrobble" presented me with an App I havn't heard of before, "iSrcob". I tried it and my App Store review follows:
This is a god send, it's done great at mirroring iOSes native music player. It's also added some good last.fm specific features without any bloat.
Simply fantastic. If you can live with the small advertisement banner its free, so you have no reason not to try it! Personally I showed my support for this app by in-app purchasing the ad free option because I have been banging my head against a wall wondering why last.fm themselves or a third party didn't do this sooner, I'm so glad someone finally did! The best part is that if I plug my phone into my receiver, although I cannot control the music playing in this App, the sound will be passed through!

One less reason to Jailbreak! So you are saying that you need to choose the music inside the iScrob app? That would be no help then, since I'd want to be able to control the music using my car radio's controls, fiddling with the iScrob app while driving doesn't sound very reasonable to me..
