Unfortunately the radio restriction was added due to license issues. I remember the date very well, because no one on staff was happy about it.. but we had no choice. It really sucked.

That's not a lot! But good artists, though~

Do you use Last.fm? Why/why not?
I have a last.fm account, but don't use it anymore. Pandora was much more used, but lately I've switched over to mflow.

Is your library accurate?
Fairly accurate for music I was listening to 3 years ago.

What's your favorite thing about Last.fm?
It was the radio function back then.

What's your least favorite thing?
None of my IRL friends were using it, they all were on pandora.

Do you always scrobble?
Uh, what. I don't remember this being on last.fm.

What would you like to see implemented on Last.fm?
Bring back the radio.

And last, if you want, what's your username? :3

Do you use Last.fm? Why/why not?
Yes, for the music recommendations and the hipster cred.

Is your library accurate?
Most certainly, maybe.

What's your favorite thing about Last.fm?
Recommendations.

What's your least favorite thing?
People having fights over artists with the same name.

Do you always scrobble?
50%

What would you like to see implemented on Last.fm?
DIFFERENT WIKIS FOR ARTISTS WITH THE SAME NAME!!!!

Do you use Last.fm? Why/why not?
Nope i'm not that into music

though i did make an account for shits and giggles (i tend to make accounts for everything even if i don't use it)

Have you tried syncing with iTunes, then going to the Scrobbler, Help > Diagnostics > iPod Scrobbling > choose 'I manually manage my iPod' then hit scrobble iPod? It worked for me.


:v

Do you use Last.fm? Why/why not?
Yeah, it's pretty cool looking at what I listen to in the past. Although, my tastes change alot.

Is your library accurate?
Fairly accurate.

What's your favorite thing about Last.fm?
The people I (seldomly) meet.

What's your least favorite thing?
Not getting my listens on my iPod scrobbled.

Do you always scrobble?
The Lastfm program never scrobbles my iPod instantly or at all when I plug it in.

What would you like to see implemented on Last.fm?
Instead of keep track of plays, I would love to see Last.fm track how long a person listens to an artist instead. I've got a number of artists who have long tracks such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor, who's #24 on my overall charts but is #4 if the duration is counted instead.

And last, if you want, what's your username? :3

Do you use Last.fm? Why/why not?
Yes I do. I use it to find new bands/artists through recommendations and I USED to listen to the radio.

Is your library accurate?
For most parts.

What's your favorite thing about Last.fm?
The recommendations.

What's your least favorite thing?
That the radio isn't free anymore >:

Do you always scrobble?
I think so.. I scrobble from iTunes, my iPod, and probably from my phone (not sure if that one is working or not.)

What would you like to see implemented on Last.fm?
I'd like it if the Android app was able to stream stations from other countries too instead of just the US, UK and Germany. If it would, I would subscribe.

Did you know that Last.fm was originally called AudioScrobbler? :3
It's the main purpose of the website.

Man, I love those so much. Thanks to Last.fm, I've discovered so many amazing artists.

This would've been neat.. it's too bad that it probably won't happen anytime soon. Minor artists don't have their own artist page because sometimes they get scrobbled into the same library because of bad ID3 tags. Unfortunately, it's not possible to migrate already scrobbled tracks to a new page, which is probably the main reason they keep it like that. People will always end up scrobbling identical artist name songs into the wrong library.

Example:

The popular artist M.I.A. is named "Mia" on Spotify, for some retarded reason.. so a lot of her scrobbled tracks ended up on Mia's page, and it won't change until Spotify fixes it on their end. Another reason it's really hard to fix things instantly, is because of the very large database stored on the website.

Pretty surprising to me, since the only one I listen to nowadays is capsule (and not the newer electrohouse stuff).

It is kinda surprising, especially after looking at your overall stats.. they don't really match mine at all.

No. I just don't feel the need to let any random person know what I listen to; I listen to a wide variety of music ranging from classical/pop to country/metal. I don't like to be labeled (with stereotypes and such), especially being called a 'poser'.

Just because I like a song doesn't necessarily mean that I care about the band. I just listen to what I enjoy, and that's it.

Well, it's not exactly hard to create an account with a username no one will recognize you as. But yeah.. each to their own. 8)

I realize that, but there will always be people you don't know criticizing the type of music you listen to. I just really like to keep certain types of music that I listen to with myself.

Well, there are some users with some (probably fake) weird listening records. I found some guy who has Cannibal Corpse as #1 and everything else is stuff like Britney Spears, Christina Aguleira, and Mandy Moore.

That's really not that strange, some people just have varied taste, but people do weird shit with last.fm. Like editing songs to 30 seconds so they scrobble faster.
