Unfortunately Last.fm requires subscriptions after the free trial, even if 
you're in Germany. From the FAQ:

What does "Radio station not
supported with this country/client
combination" mean? This means you must be a subscriber to
listen to Last.fm radio outside the US, UK
and Germany (other than free trials).
See also the next question. I'm not a subscriber and I can't play
radio any more, why not? Mobbler versions 0.10.x and 2.10.x uses
the official Last.fm radio API which only
allows paying subscribers to stream the
radio. Non-subscribers with free
accounts are allowed a 30 track free
trial from Last.fm. Only paying subscribers can play the radio. Free user
accounts can't play the radio.
Subscribers will see a prestigious black icon at the top left when online. If 
you have an S60 phone (i.e. pre-N8/
Symbian^3) an older version may still
stream radio until Last.fm disable it. See also:
