Default Last.fm to become 'more social'.
Quote:
Last.fm users can now sign in from Facebook to share tracks and there will also be a 'friend finder' tool.

The British-based online music service says it wants to become more mainstream and social.

Last.fm, which attracts 30 million users worldwide each month, has been facing tough competition since its launch in 2002.

Critics say it had become too niche and a £3 monthly subscription was having to compete with free offerings.

Vice President of Product at Last.fm, Matthew Hawn said: "I know we have a lot of work to do, but we want to become the connective tissue between services like Spotify and iTunes and the place where people publish their music taste online."

The music service was originally designed by three men in Hoxton, east London.

Matthew Hawn said: "At the time it was created for who they were and the types of people they mixed with.

"We now need to focus on making the service more mainstream and plugged into people's other music experiences and social networks."

Hawn also said he would like to see their Scrobbling service "become more mainstream".

Scrobbling allows users to track what they listen to on Last.fm and in other players such as iTunes.

When a song is Scrobbled it forms part of a user's personal listening charts so new music can be recommended.

"If Foursquare is where you publish your location, and Facebook is where you socially connect, Last.fm should be where you publish your taste in music," Hawn added.
intriguing.

I really like lastfm, but there isn't much reason for logging into the site. I think I do so once or twice a month.

I do my own chart thing seperately so it's only use for me is to see my top played artists and songs combining iTunes and Spotify.

Spotify is much better.

LOL True.
Not tried Spotify - heard you have to pay for it.

LOL No I never used it - I did for my Userbar though on here, but no one on the forums ever uses the userbars anymore for some reason.

I remember Garry's TiBB Charts [that got out of hand] last year - that was the only time I ever used this site.

Spotify Open was amazing until they made it ****.

But I now pay £5 a month for it and it's really worth it.

I love Last.fm but I don't think I'll get involved with this new Facebook feature. The huge amount of Brazilian users who cheat scrobbles on there though are annoying.

Spotify Unlimited is a God send. No ads, just unlimited music. I love it.

iTunes can go impale its retarded self on a rusty fence.

Its worth the money though!

I can have all the music I want, when I want all for a fiver per month. The really good thing is that none of it is actually stored on my hard drive so it won't take up space that way.

Oh yeah and you can connect and use your iPod with Spotify and sync your music from there. Aaaand if you have and iPod Touch/iPhone/Android phone, you can sync wirelessly with Spotify.

Suck on that bitch.
