Last.fm

[Vel]

Some people here have been familiar with this for quite a while, while others are not in the know, so here goes...
Basically, www.last.fm is a database which writes down all the tracks you listen to, and then creates neat charts like this one:

It then uses these charts to find people with similar tastes to yours, you can listen to radio stations similar to your or anyone else's tastes and much much more. So try it out, and join the AGS group there.

I was there before Vel... I bet a lot of poeple were before me. THe only thing, it doesn't work on Quintessential player. Oh, and once you convert songs to mp3, do it lame, that way it will surely work.

EDIT: Lies a bit though the list, doesn't have my fav bands as I have them on cds, these are the ones from my computer. Oh, and I did this playlist challenge listenin through all the mp3s I have, so that's why...

I usually listen to my song list on random, and skip through the ones I'm not in the mood for currently. So far random is not random enough, and my PC/iPod seem to have collected a list of "favourites" which are all messed up. How exactly would one listen to huge collections of music except on random?

This sounds neet! I'm going to try this out! But can I play my music still with Winamp, or should I play it with last.fm player?

[Vel]

You can play it with winamp or whatever common player you are using, it just installs the needed plugin.

[Minimi]

I just noticed! Thanks... I just started scrobbing... I'll probably soon be able to show my top 10 :p hehe! I like this!

[Rincewind]

Indeed I am familiar with it. Quite a handy tool when it comes to discovering new music, methinks.

Hello.

go maudlin of the Well

[Chicky]

Aparently my band have been played on last.fm at some point.

[auhsor]

I've been on last.fm for a while. It's cool to see what bands you listen to alot and which songs you play the most. When I joined, I was really into Marillions's album Marbles, so that dominates all my charts.

[Tuomas]

And finally someone has a Finnish band that I know \o/

[ManicMatt]

I decided to join, and I added the AGS group a week a few days ago and I'm still a "pending member"! Who runs that, Hajo? Tell them to add me already please!

[Chicky]

I just signed up but i can't figure out how to get the url for my chart of music played?

[Tuomas]

There's a link under the chart staing "Put this on your website/blog". click it and you'll get the url.

[Chicky]

How to i get to my chart though?

[Tuomas]

Oh oh, should be there when you listen to music and get it scrobbled and then log on to your account or what's it. If it's not there choose overview from the top and it should show everything.

[Vel]

Basically anyone can approve a new member, so I did that now, ManicMatt.

[ManicMatt]

Ahh thankyou Vel!

Chicky, just to clarify what they said, make sure you've listened to enough music first otherwise it won't have enough data to make a chart.

Then what I did was click on "tools" and then the option is staring right at you.
