If you’re on last.fm, you should add me to your friend’s list. :)
Just ignore all the Nightmares on Wax and Animal Collective I apparently listen to. Back when I had no idea what I was doing (like a year ago), I left a music player on loop for a while… oops. Can’t edit it now apparently. I still love them, just not as much as last.fm thinks I do.
Anyway, I’m stoked about the open source client, all the plugins that will scrobble anything from pretty much any player out there, and the suggested 3rd party apps like Yamipod for uploading tracks you listened to with an ipod. Haven’t played with that too much yet, but it seems really great.
For the record, I’m also a fan of pandora, but for different reasons. I love pandora for being minimal and for being a pretty intelligent recommendation/radio system. On certain days, I’ll use both last.fm and pandora–one to find totally new music based on what their database picks (pandora), and the other to learn more about my friends’ tastes and to explore tagged music (last.fm). Last.fm is becoming highly addictive, but on days when maybe I just want to chill and take a break from omg! social networking! web2.0! rounded corners!!11!!, pandora rules.
Different monsters, both awesome and world-rawking. :)
