The 'Suggested Songs' Dynamic playlist used to be my favorite feature of Amarok and it appears it has been broken since around version 1.4.0. Apparently people who have a last.fm profile don't seem to have this problem, but the documentation claims that a last.fm account is not necessary for this feature to work and it definitely worked in the past without said profile.

No last.fm profile is need to retrieve similar artists. Perhaps this option should be enabled by default so that the Suggested Songs playlist does not fail; or better yet, add an appropriate warning when Suggested Songs fails instead of "No tracks were returned to be inserted". *** Another related problem. When you remove the last.fm profile Username from the configure dialog and hit apply it greys out the "last.fm services" section. This behavior is incorrect since as mentioned above the "Retrieve similar artists" function does not require a last.fm profile and thus should not be greyed out.
Please report upstream.
