Hi Talimage :

Well, we really wished gapless playback was just a matter of tweaks here and there, but it's quite complicated to get to work with the platform components. But this is by far one top priority, the problem is that is not a simple job (so I need a very experienced developer to do so) and I am here in a new city to see if I can get that person in )

YoDude: We do not initiate, this is true. We indeed try to keep Canola not too tied to the platform, and also do not go against the rules too much in this " system important" matters. So, we do not mess with the connection manager. as we do not have an way of connect inside canola, to show the connection on top of canola makes the same sense but I think your point is really valid and now is possible that we implement it.

Scrobbling ? It's there dude : scrobbling is the act of sending the musics you have listened to. You can turn on and off.

About the " style " this is due to last.fm large database of other kind of data... tags that we don't have, and making users do it manually is impossible (that's why last.fm is nice because it's great on get users feedback on some musics and gather this data together. This can be studied as a plugin!
