Just did it again and got BADAUTH as expected. Strange. I'll keep an
eye on it. The only difference is different network (provider).

And another (a bit OT) question: submitting occurs at the beginning of
playback of the track. Afair, lastfm rules are to submit at min(240
seconds, length/2). after playback begins. I guess this comes from
solution a bug where scanning through the song prevented from exaile to
submit songs. Maybe a more elegant solution is possible?
(in any case, at least I can live with the current state)

Next time I'll at the previous place is Monday so I won't bother anyone
with issue till then (using my own player + scrobbler here, also
written in python (and rexx) :-), exaile is used instead of itunes on
mac use at work)
