Added labels: Priority-High, Type-Defect

Requires more information than what Android Music/HTC Hero Music currently 
sends.

Could probably be fixed with an ugly hack.... :(

I am under the impression this is more an issue with the Last.fm API 
ratelimiting
multiple identical scrobbles, presumably to stop a client being able to submit
incorrect information in the event of a network error where it can't get a 
Submission
Response back. I can't find anything in the ToS or documentation about limits,
besides the track length rules. Perhaps ask Last.fm Support?

The biggest problem is that Android Music/HTC Hero Music doesn't send how long a
track is, or whether it is playing or has been paused. So even if you've played 
the
same track for 30 minutes, we can't tell whether the track was 30 min long or 
if it's
3 min and you played it 10 times.

I think that until someone thinks of a way around this, it is slightly better to
scrobble too seldom than too often.
