Was there a change regarding the similar-artist-radios, excluding the main artist?
Hi, i just tried to post this question, but as it seems not to have worked I'll try again:
Was there a change regarding the similar-artist-radio some two or three weeks ago? I've been a regular listener to the similar-artist-radios for "Stars" and "Regina Spektor", and I've been getting their songs regularly on these stations. Mostly the stations started with the respective artist.
That has changed now. I'm still listening to these radios and if the radios had stayed the same, I guess I should get around 6 or 7 songs per week for each of the artist. But I got none. So I presume, that the main artist got excluded from the similar artist radio stream.
Is that the case?
I don't want to go back to listening to my playlist just to listen to my favorite artists. That's boring after some hours and the stream won't resonate a specific mood I'm in in that moment.
I'm using the stand-alone client in winxp (discovery mode is turned off and can't be turned on for similar-artist radios).
Please, give me a chance to listen to my favorite artists. I'm getting a little frustrated with last.fm. I've been listening to my streams for half a month now, but I didn't get the music I wanted to listen mainly.

I’m a little frustrated.

Inappropriate?Update: I just listened to the "Amy Winehouse"-similar-artist-radio and it started with an Amy Winehouse track (and I then listened to 4 further non-Winehouse tracks). That's how it used to be with the Stars and the Spektor radio three or four weeks ago.
So I thought I'd try the "Stars"-similar-artist-radio: I'm now in track # 15 or so, and I didn't get any songs by the Stars, but just tracks by artists similar to them.
Are the "Stars" in a different "streaming category" from Winehouse's?

Inappropriate?Update: I still didn't get Stars or Regina Spektor in a similar-artist-stream. But looking at Spektors last.fm page I found that is says: "Regina Spektor isn’t yet available to play on Last.fm." But on the other hand: the same page lists 20+ songs as streamable and one song as available for on-demand-playing.
... and for some reason my on-demand-quota (it's been three per song) for the Stars songs seems to have been reset. I am allowed to play some of their songs at last.fm on demand again. -
Inappropriate?Another update: I just listened to the Regina Spektor Radio for about 140 tracks. And I didn't get any Regina Spektor song. (But I did get two songs by the Stars).
Why can't a get more songs by my favorite artist?
I’m sad

Inappropriate?I just started the "Stars"-similar artist radio. And for the the first time in a month or so: It started with a track by the Stars. I don't know whether last.fm changed something, but I'm hopeful.
I’m happy
