I've been a long time addicted fan of Last.fm and when it used to be Audioscrobbler before that. It is a superb concept and is kind of a music addicts answer to a social networking site. If you log in your last.fm profile it shows you every track you've listened to on your pc. You do need to download the Last.fm program so it can get plug-in's for your music player of choice; it supports Windows Media Player, iTunes, and Winamp among others. Once you've done this it sits quietly in your Taskbar keeping tabs on all the music you listen to and posting it on your last.fm profile. You're own personal music taste builds up on there, and you can look at other ...  Read the complete review

Last.fm is a music community, which was founded in 2002. By downloading the Last.fm application, it can 'scrobble' the music that you listen to on your music player (such as iTunes).

last.fm ... what can I say ... I love this thing. I guess most folks know the way it works but in summary, if you "scrobble" the tracks you play, last.fm builds up a database and then recommends other acts that it think's you'll like based on what sort of music you are playing. It will also recommend gigs that are going on near you (if you are near anywhere ..). If you subscribe you can play lots of music you select in its entirity. If you don't subscribe you can play some songs (or samples of songs) and listen to various radio feeds which can be your recommened artists or someone else's station. There are geographical restrictions on where it ...  Read the complete review

Last.fm is a site that I used to use and like quite a lot in the past, describing itself as a social music platform. To some extent, it's like being able to pick your own songs on the radio whilst also being able to see what your friends have listened to lately. Type an artist or song in and click "Play "band of your choice" radio" and this begins to play songs that are similar to the band you chose, usually incorporating more songs by that band than any other, it seems to work in a way though that a song is similar to its predecessor but not necessarily the initial song or artist you included, this can be good or bad - you can end up ...  Read the complete review
