I've just got last.fm radio working on my mobile which is ace. Saves taking my ipod on the rare occasions I go on the train. It eats up the battery in a big way though.
For some reason my ipod has stopped scrobbling which is annoying me a bit at the moment. So much so, that I reinstalled itunes and the last.fm app last night at the suggestion of someone on the last.fm forum. Doesn't seem to have worked though.
I've only just started using it and I'm not entirely pleased with it. True , it has recommended lots of new bands for me but it has also played me a lot of complete shit and doesnt seem to learn that I don't like it when I immediately ban the track.
For example, I like listening to the Cramps but I do NOT want to listen to fucking Stray Cats or Nekromantix.
Another annoyance is as soon as I tag some tracks as 'loved' it suddenly becomes a 28 second sample only and they try and encourage me to buy the track . FUCK OFF!
yeah, i love the stats and i'm not overly bothered by the recommendations (although i have occasionally heard some interesting stuff). it has got more commercial since the whole buy-out thing - that i can't remember the details of - which is a shame, but the total CLEVERNESS of it still freaks me out at times. like living in the future. the more you use it the better it gets.
edit.
didnt know about this function nor did I notice all my friend requests haha
I also noticed a 'neighbour' listening to songs by my band. How the hell did our songs get on last.fm? and why would anybody listen to them?
This is freaking scary.
bloody last.fm , it's like a teenager who's parents have gone away.
I leave the room for 10 mins to get a shower and I come back to hear Guns n Roses - November Rain ( full version ) blasting out an an unholy volume.
How embarrassing.
Well, you obviously can't be trusted to behave whilst I'm not here and if your going to behave like a child we are going to treat you like one.
