Dear Apple,
I’ve had my iPhone almost a year now. It’s been out for a little over twenty-four months, if I can add up right. Is there a decent reason that I have still have to jump through hoops to add music I play to Last.fm? Sure, Last.fm is a comparatively small site1 – but you’re touting Facebook and Flickr exporting features as a pretty major upgrade to iPhoto. Plus, I can’t imagine that something like this would be particularly difficult for you guys to code.
It’s not like scrobbling is really data-intensive, either. Basically, I just don’t see why you haven’t done it yet.
Cheers,
Alex
Click the images for bigger versions. No, you get no points for realising I did them in Photoshop; it’s not tough.

I’m guessing you’ve seen this, but here it is just in case:

Yeah Matt, I’d seen that – thanks though. I just wish there was a way to only send track data, and not have to stream the music from them as well.
