Hi

This has just started - when u run lastfm it says:

Last.fm was unable to connect to the plugin for your media player.
Details: Could not bind listening socket. Socket error: 99

However, it still plays. Have looked at the lastfm forums and it says to reset password, something to do with the hast tags, but that didnt resolve it.

Anybody else got this problem, and/or found a solution?

What music player ? I used to have a similar problem with Rythmbox until the plug-in was Updated. In my case I had to use a PPA that included the updated last.fm plug-in. I never had problems with a browser though .
