The problem is that the last.fm radio has not been working reliable for a 
while now. From your description of radio/scrobbler 1.2, it sounds impossible 
to add support for it to the 1.4 series, because it would require *major* 
changes to the way we handle the streams. But I think we should try to 
implement radio 1.2 for Amarok 2.
