    last.fm restrictions

    Currently I´m listening to last.fm radio (station for artist oceana, try it is nice). Though not on the Touch, SB3, or Radio but on my Denon AVR1912. The Denon sees no problem running the radio, LMS does. How does LMS decide that last.fm radio cannot be played in my country or more specific how does it decide which country I´m in as there´s probably an error in perception there.

    How can I play last.fm Radio here?

    You set the country in your MySqueezebox.com account yourself, I believe.
    You need a paid-for Last.fm account to listen to it on the SB these days, a Last.fm-decision AFAIK

    Last.fm was payed. I set the country.

    Like I said I can stream effortless with my Denon AVR but not with the LMS.

    Is there another switch I need to flick?

    Denon and Logitech may have different deals with Last.fm for a while you could bypass that by having the "wrong" country setting on mysb.com but i Think Last.fm is geo-ip now .

    So a proxy service maybe ? I think it is GB;DE;FR;US for last.fm and squeezeboxes
