iphone 3g and Last.fm issues

I have recently installed Last.fm on my iphone and am currently loving it. However, is there a way when i start a new station, to just listen to one particular artist?

If i search for an artist it only plays one song (of the selected artist) before it switches to playing music from similar artists, which can be annoying.
Can this be stopped or is it a constant feature of Last.fm. I would really like to listen to entire back catalogues of my favourite groups.

Thanks.

Re: iphone 3g and Last.fm issues

I know your frustration becasue its the same for me. If you set up an account or log in using the full web version on your pc you can get whole albums and keep them in your libary. shame you cant scrobble them to the iphone. Also just looked on thier web site and it looks like they might start charging!!

Yeah it's only on the US iTunes store.

Even if you log in with an American account and get it, apparently you have to have an American IP address to then use it. However I am hearing good things about the AOL Radio App on the US iTunes store, which does not require an American IP address.
