Version: 2.2.2 (using KDE 4.3.4) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages hello, please prevent played podcasts from being uploaded to lastfm, because this just does not make any sense. The podcasts should be (hopefully) easy to identify, because it looks like the podcasts have "Podcast" as genre (as far as i can tell). the podcats should be ignored, even if the have been downloaded and then played (not streamed). thanks in advance, cheers, andy
Strange, I listen a lot to podcasts and have gone through my library at last.fm for the last 4 months, there is not a single one scrobbled there. Are you sure oyu have podcasts scrobbled to last.fm? I can only see single tracks and music from radio strams.

Indeed, I just can't reproduce this here, my podcasts don't show up in my last.fm library. Anybody else? I push this to the bugs list, since it's certainly not a wanted feature.
the podcasts aren't being scrobbled. what you're seeing is the 'now playing' information, which is a separate API call (notice how the api call is post.audioscrobbler.com/np_1.2, and which is what shows up with the little playing icon. the list of "recently played" is not the same as the list of tracks that are scrobbled---look through your playing history on last.fm to check if podcasts are really scrobbled.
Created attachment 40372 [details] screenshot of the music collection hi again, just checked my music collection on lastfm and the podcast shows up not only in the recently played list, but also in my music collection (which it should not, right ?). see the attached screenshot.
