welcome to your social music revolution
finally, a social networking site that isn't addicting.
last.fm quietly collects a user's music data and displays it on a facebook-style profile page.
this dynamically generated list is also clickable, and usually leads to a radio station with music by a similar artist. kinda like
pandora, but with a british twist. last.fm is based in London, and offers a $3 a month subscription which unlocks some pretty cool features. the easiest way to participate in last.fm is to download a lightweight application that detects your media player. it runs in the system tray, but it also doubles as a billboard of information about the current track. you can also click the "love" button if you really like a song.
last.fm also takes
tagging to the next level. just type in a genre of music, and you can find just about anything you are looking for. as of 3:30 p.m. today, my last.fm account has "scrobbled", or remembered, 15,051 tracks and counting.
you should definitely check it out, and
friend me.
