Just a couple of ideas about scrobbling radio streams.

1) MusicBee scrobbles songs from streams just after the song end.
But if you listen to the song for say 3 minutes and then press stop, nothing scrobbles.
I think it should scrobble in 2 minutes after the song starts.

2) When you start listening to the stream, the first song you hear would never scrobble.
I think it's not correct behaviour, song should scrobble if it lasts over than 30 seconds (afaik, half a minute is the last.fm rule about minimum length of the song).

that sounds like bug but could you confirm it still happens with the lastest beta?

Hmm, no. At least if the song is relatively long like 3-4 minutes.
So how about make any streamradio song scrobble after 30 secs, not matter if it plays in the stream start, middle or end.
