The media core error was caused by me not having quicktime. This comp now has quicktime, so I can’t reproduce that particular case. I’ll try to test it on another comp over the weekend.

In the meantime, I have not been able to reproduce the heart error using the latest XPI.

Thanks again for all your work on this excellent plugin.

Nothing was in the error console and I can’t provide more concrete reproduction steps yet. But it is definitely getting stuck in the “on” state.

Noticed there were comments on the streaming changes on the newer post, will move that discussion there.

Any thoughts on the idea to allow mass tagging?

JUST when I start using Last.fm, this happens:

http://www.last.fm/group/Last.fm+Web+Services/forum/21604/_/517212

So if I read that correctly, your going to have to change to the new APIs which will only stream to subscribers?

I've implemented something that hopefully is a little clearer... global tags will now have a + next to them you can click to have them be applied again as a user-tag.

Saving the tags would be really cool, but practically speaking is outside the scope of what I’m trying to throw together semi-quickly. :)

I do think I can have it try to remember state of the love/ban and whether or not you’ve tagged it though.

It's good to see the progress on Songbird, plus they let me know when to go grab new nightlies :)</p> Oh, and please keep the updates coming.
