last.fm have announced upcoming changes in which they will end their
streaming services (outside of their own last.fm player).

I will be removing last.fm support entirely from emms.

libre.fm support for both streaming and scrobbing will be complete soon
and will be added to the main repo ASAP.

Sometime after that we'll start moving toward a 4.0 release.

That's great news! Since there are many GNU FM servers (libre.fm is
just one instance), will there be support for choosing which server to
scrobble to?

Now there will. Can you please post a list of GNU FM servers you'd like
to see come built it? We do the same with streaming radio; there are a
bunch of great stations that come with Emms.

To reiterate what was discussed on the #libre.fm IRC channel:
libre.fm is the only widely used GNU FM server at the moment.

Support for sending track data to a GNU FM server, in the form of
scrobbling to Libre.fm has been added. Streaming from Libre.fm works as
well. The manual has been updated to reflect this.

Last.fm support has been removed.

On to work toward 4.0.
