Tune Announcer - Scrobble Links

Noticed with the latest Songbird release for Android they support multiple Scrobble clients but broadcast them ALL!

Whilst it's probably a bug, as no other player does this, I've modified Tune Announcer to let the user select which ones to receive.  Mainly because I want to use Songbird.

However, it took me a while to find which scrobble broadcasts did what (note to self: Code comments are useful), so here is a list of the scrobble sites:

There's also the default clients (Android and HTC),no info on these other than they broadcast the following:

<action android:name="com.android.music.playstatechanged" />
<action android:name="com.android.music.metachanged" />
<action android:name="com.htc.music.metachanged" />
<action android:name="com.htc.music.playbackcomplete" />
<action android:name="com.htc.music.playstatechanged" />

They are very similar to the others in content.
