I'm not sure why an older bug report with more information was closed as a duplicate of this one, but for those who are interested:

1. This problem in Banshee is caused by the new Last.fm radio API. The old API stopped working in March, but Banshee hasn't yet updated to the new one. This should only affect streaming Last.fm radio; scrobbling and recommendations should work normally.

2. This bug is indeed still an issue in the latest Banshee, and while it's a big bummer for people who love Banshee and Last.fm, developers are aware of it and working on it.

3. There's a separate git branch that has some developmental Last.fm stuff. I can't remember exactly, but I think this issue is being addressed there. If you're brave, I'm sure developers would love if you would help test http://gitorious.org/~bl8/banshee/bl8-clone. I'm not sure how the database from that branch matches up with 1.5.1's database, so make sure you backup your banshee.db file before you try it out.

Feel free to add to this conversation at the upstream bug report (gnome-bugs #541227), and until that bug report is closed, it's safe to assume that this is still an issue.
