Bug Description

Binary package hint: amarok

I upgraded to Karmic yesterday, and found in Amarok 2.2 I cannot play any last.fm stream.

Whatever I choose or click on, I get the message:

 To listen to this stream you need to be a paying Last.Fm subscriber. All the other Last.Fm features are unaffected.

I could listen to all these fine in Amarok 2.1

I've found that if I change my last.fm login details so that they are incorrect, I now get the message:

  Error starting track from Last.Fm radio.

My local MP3 collection plays fine, BTW.

Report shows up in kde's bug tracker as well: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212445

There it has been marked as resolved by being invalid (not a defect of amarok).

the change seems to have taken place on lastfm's side, and perhaps around the time amarok 2.2 was released
