o00o Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Station Changes at Last.fm Starting November 17th, 2010, Last.fm is discontinuing a few subscriber-only radio stations. Why is this happening? Licensing music is a complex and labour intensive process.

So What's Changing at Last.fm? The following subscriber-only radio stations will no longer be available: Loved Tracks Radio: streaming your list of loved tracks Playlists: streaming a list of tracks you've chosen for a playlist Personal Tag Radio: streaming a list of artists, albums or tracks that you have tagged What will NOT change? Access to your list of loved tracks Access to your playlists and the list of tracks within them Access to your personal tags and the list of tracks within each Your ability to listen to global tag stations AND we're going to offer you the ability to export your lists of tracks to help you maintain control of your music experience. Will you be adding new stations? We'll be announcing new features and even better ways for you to enjoy listening to Last.fm very soon, including a brand new station that we know you'll love. Even so, we understand that some of you might miss the stations listed above.

modey Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 i just use last.fm to compile charts of my most listened music, it seems ping doesn't even do that (or even show recently played tracks)? what's the point of ping then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremymacgregor87 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I had a dream about this last night... in it, they put up a compulsory $48 membership price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Haven't used the radio stations in ages. I'll just keep scrobbling I guess. It's pretty cool to have statistics about everything I've listened on my PC since 2006. If you're looking for an alternative scrobbler. Libre.fm can track your plays as well, has better privacy policies and is built on open software. The website is a bit shit though, and you probably wont find as many apps to output cool graphs.

Silent Member Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I like last.fm, it sometimes gives me nice recs. Don't use it too much though, unfortunately it doesn't scrobble my cds I've got a lot of hipster bullshit scrobbled though, hell yeah. Never subsbcribed or bothered with tagging/loving tracks.
