Last.fm scrobbling has been the #1 request to my surprise! Track grouping is one of the next features, just need to think more about the browse process. The Echo Nest also has a great API for finding similar tracks that I was planning on using, but I'll look at Last.fm, too... thanks!

I would write integrations for both, use last.fm (since it's free) in production, and if last.fm decides to start charging you you're in a good negotiating position. Single-sourcing api's in general is extremely dangerous.
Feature suggestions:
* Add last.fm scrobbling
* Add Grooveshark as a source
* Group tracks into albums (you can get the metadata from musicbrainz and last.fm)
* Use last.fm similar tracks (http://www.last.fm/api/show/track.getSimilar) to automatically queue up the next track
