Hi I already have made a patch for this issue :) Will attach it... Except for this problem (which I fixed now), lastfmplayer works stable here, so please add ~ppc (and perhaps other other big endian systems; but I only tested PPC).

Thanks for the patch! I've updated it for the new version too. Please make sure to submit this for inclusion upstream! Thanks!
I just tested the new version 1.3.0.58 and it seems that the patch is not needed there. That means, with applied patch, you again have the bytes switched one time too often and you again got the wrong playblack. It seems that they have switched the bytes elsewhere in 1.3.0.58 (I haven't took a more deeper look at the code to determit where in detail). I have tested 1.3.0.58 without the patch and it works good. So the simple solution: Use the patch for 1.1.3 but remove it for 1.3.0.58.
Whoops. :p I only tested it on 1.1.3-r2, I've removed the newer one, thanks.
