Last.fm

Posted by #€|!0$ on April 22, 2008

Today morning i registered myself on Last.fm. So what is Last.fm?

Last.fm is a free service that keeps track of what music you listen to, and then produces a large number of features personalized to you. You can use Last.fm to listen to music, find out about artists u may like, other people with similar music taste as well as much more.

How to use Last.fm?

After registering to the service, I downloaded the Last.fm client and installed it on my computer. The client is used to “scrobble” the music that will be played on my computer. This means that when you listen to a song, the name of the song is sent to Last.fm and added to your music profile.

The players supported by the Last.fm client are:

  1. Windows Media Player
  2. Winamp
  3. Foobar2000
  4. iTunes

I added a plugin for Last.fm to my facebook profile as well… :) This means users looking at my facebook profile will also see the artist I listen to ;)

    Probably worth mentioning that they sold for 3.50+- million dollars last year to british CBC. Making it probably one of the top web 2.0 acquisitions of this era.
