Ability to turn off "song reporting"?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be nice to stop the program from reporting to the last.fm website
each song that it downloads as "last played".

It fills the user's last.fm profile with songs that they haven't in fact
listened to. They may set thelastripper to download a load of songs from a
particular lastfm station so they can listen to them later...they won't
like them all and will skip through those they don't like later in their
music player.

That said, I guess it's probable that a feature like this is impossible
because the "listened to" data is collected automatically at last.fm's end
as they stream the music to you. But if not it would be a great option.

Actually it isn't impossible, as far as I know other Last.fm players implement 
this
feature. I think the option available on their webservice, which isn't 
documented. So
I'll probably have to take a look at the sourcecode of another Last.fm player. 
But it
should be possible to do...

I guess I'll take a look at once I find time to work on the next release.

You just have to send to the /control.php the command "rtp" or "nortp". Here is 
the 
code from the official client>
    QString path = QString( m_basePath + "/control.php?session=%1&command=%2" )
                  .arg( m_session )
                  .arg( enabled ? QString( "rtp" ) : QString( "nortp" ) );

I hope this speeds up the inclusion of this feature...

thanks Daniel,
That saved me some time looking through sources :)
I think this feature would be fairly simple to include, so it'll probably make 
into
the next release...

an interesting point is though, that if listening were implemented - ie issue 72
among many then this would be solved... conversely if issue this were solved... 
72
would be less of an issue

with new last.fm protocol in version 1.3 the scrobbling is disabled, so i would 
close
this bug. Manual activation of scrobbling for ripper is not needed because it's
better to scrobble with a real player ;-)
