Sure, the 1.x version still works for subscribers, but you are missing
the point:
1. the tarball was renamed from last.fm to Last.fm.
2. lastfm-player always was our name, not their's.
3. the of the binary was previously "Last.fm", now it would have been
"Last.fm Scrobbler" but I have renamed it to Last.fm because mga2's
rpmbuild broke with the space in the name.
4. the name of the old program reported by X was Last.fm in 1.x and is
"Last.fm Scrobbler" in 2.1.33.

I don't think so. It is working fine so far, no need to keep two versions.
