Last.fm

[smiths]

Does anybody use this? Its a great site for music lovers.

Last.fm is a popular Internet radio site for music, founded in the United Kingdom in 2002. It claims over 30 million active users based in more than 200 countries. On 30 May 2007, CBS Interactive acquired Last.fm for £140m ($280m USD).

Using a music recommender system called "Audioscrobbler", Last.fm builds a detailed profile of each user's musical taste by recording details of the songs the user listens to, either from Internet radio stations, or the user's computer or many portable music devices. This information is transferred to Last.fm's database ("scrobbled") via a plugin installed into the user's music player. The profile data is then displayed on the user's profile page. The site offers numerous social networking features and can recommend and play artists similar to the user's favourites.

Users can create custom radio stations and playlists from any of the audio tracks in Last.fm's music library, and are able to listen to some individual tracks on demand, or download tracks if the rights holder has previously authorised it.

So basically you sign up, you download a small file which then records what songs your listening to and displays it on your profile in real time. Based on this you can compare your music compatibility with friends and get recommendations on what other music you might like that isn't on your playlist.

I have 'low' compatability with smiths.

Sorry for bumping both last.fm threads but I've got to call smiths out. I can take Blink 182, I can take Sum 41, I can take NFG, I can barely take Fallout Boy,........I can turn two blind eyes to Nickelback..........but 3OH!3 my god man!

You seem to like punk influenced pop. Check out the bands that influenced these bands, i.e. Descendents, Bad Religion, NoFX, Pennywise, Rancid etc and see what you think.
