CHANGES

Release Name: 0.13

Added option allow_stream, which will allow scrobbling of http streams if set to true (default false). Feature untested.
Fixed bug in password submition (thanks joeblow1102)
Added support for password@host value in MPD_HOST
Searched, without success, for memory leak. If anyone wants to help, uncomment the Storable lines and start looking into it...
Added (documented) support for Proxy server

Release Name: 0.12

•: Fixed bug that sometimes prevented Music::Tag from working at all. Added some level 4 debug messages.

Release Name: 0.11

•: Added musictag_overwrite option. This is false by default. It is a workaround for problems with Music::Tag and unicode. Setting this to true allows Music::Tag info to overwrite info from MPD. Do not set this to true until Music::Tag returns proper unicode consistantly.

Release Name: 0.1

Split off all scrobbling code to Music::Audioscrobbler::Submit
Added an error message if file is not found.
Added use warnings for better debugging.
Started using Pod::Readme for README and CHANGES
