ya ipod scrobbling issue (manage manually ipod using ubuntu+rhythmbox)

By reading other posts about this subject makes starting this thread useless, nevertheless here i go.

I manage my ipod manually. I use ubuntu and rhythmbox to manage mp3's on my ipod. For submitting my played tracks i use the lastfm application. And that ruins my stats. It submits multiple times the same tracks. For example if i play 1 album i can get 80 scrobbles and each song is supposedly played 6-9 times. Is there a solution for this?

Another problem if i want to manually set this right in the played tracks list i can delete an entry but then it deletes all entries of that 1 played track. For example i play song A from band B at time C. I see 6 entries that say: You played song S from band B at time C. I delete the first entry and they all get deleted. I just want to delete 5 and not all of them.

These 2 problems make it almost impossible to use lastfm. My stats are not really my stats anymore and the only solution seems to boot to windows every time i want to submit songs to lastfm. Then i have to sync my ipod using itunes, which is the last application i want to use. I really dislike itunes and i dislike syncing it. Instead of keeping track of my mp3's i have to keep track of my mp3's and my library in itunes.

Now i come to think of it: lastfm is really lots of work.
