audacious would be my suggestion. There exists an last.fm-plugin which should work. And it does all the other stuff you want.

mpd + gmpc/sonata + lastfm plugin

i know one of those two frontends does id3 editing, but can't remember which.

I second that. MPD is fantastic

I think there is not such.
Amarok can do everything you want but it is not so lightweight.
Any mpd frontend can't not edit tag (not completely 100% sure) if there is : tell me also

I suggest, if you don't want mpd, audacious for playing music and easytag for tags editing.

double checked, and sonata has advanced tag editing support. Sonata is a MPD frontend.

If you want to edit (id3) tags with sonata you have to install packages taglib and tagpy.

FWIW, the latest version of Sonata also includes audioscrobbling.

Did you configure /etc/mpd.conf?
If not then this might be helpful (and the comments in mpd.conf):
