Updater for MediaPortal 0.2.0.4

This update includes the new "scrobbling" features to automatically fill your playlist with songs you would like!

You will also notice that MediaPortal consumes less CPU power now. Especially users suffering from > 50% system load while listening to music should see a significant drop now. 

This update is for all 0.2 installations without svn files.

If you've not already heard of "scrobbling" - here a short description:

  1. For using advanced features activate the "audioscrobbler plugin"
  2. Sign up at last.fm (free - not even an email required)
  3. Fire up MediaPortal and add one song which reflects your current mood to the playlist (e.g. by pressing "p" / play on it)
  4. If you haven't set your MP to switch to playlist on "play" navigate there
  5. Enable "Scrobble" and wait a few seconds to see your playlist filled

After 10 seconds MP will search for similar Artist's tracks on each track now. If you've got your profile at last.fm filled after some weeks you might try the "neighbour mode". It will add tracks to your playlist which people that share your music taste have heard.

There will be other modes like "tags" soon allowing to specify tags like "80's", "dance music" "metal" to consider songs worth adding to your playlist.
