+Sure, the 1.x version still works for subscribers, but you are missing
+the point:
+1. the tarball was renamed from last.fm to Last.fm.
+2. lastfm-player always was our name, not their's.
+3. the of the binary was previously "Last.fm", now it would have been
+"Last.fm Scrobbler" but I have renamed it to Last.fm because mga2's
+rpmbuild broke with the space in the name.
+4. the name of the old program reported by X was Last.fm in 1.x and is
+"Last.fm Scrobbler" in 2.1.33.

+I don't think so. It is working fine so far, no need to keep two versions.
