See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=695256
In order to ensure only subscribers could listen to Last-fm streams
using a client (as opposed to the web-site) Last-fm disabled the
version 1 streaming protocol which the version of shell-fm in the
repros uses.
There is a new version of shell-fm available that uses the version two
protocol but it is not yet in Debian. If you don't mind building from
source (which you may ell mind if you are new to Linux and Debian) I
can report the version builds fine on Wheezy. If I remember correctly
Last-fm also host a unofficial Debian repository for the official
Last-fm client.
Hope that all helps.
Peter
