Since this is the 12th page of this thread, forgive me if this has been mentioned before.

I have been happily using the LastFM plug-in and noticed that Canola does not initiate an Internet connection when one is required.

Also. scrobling is very intriguing to me and works well with LastFM. Can this technology be incorporated with-in Canola?
That is, with large SDHC cards available I find that the music I now carry to be an eclectic mix of over a 1,000 tunes. There are times when I want mellow and times when I want head bangin' music, and still other times when I might just want to listen to instrumentals.

Perhaps having Canola decide what to play randomly based on the style of your first selection would be a desirable feature.
