Anyone using Last.fm?

[Sacbill]

I just started looking at last.fm and set up a new account. Just wondering if anyone on here uses the site and would be interesting in getting connected. It's a great way to keep track of what other folks are listenting to, checking out new music, etc.

Tried using the site, but everything loaded so slowly on my computer it was not worth the time.

Is it like Pandora? Does is 'learn' my likes & dislikes? I'll give it a try.

Never tried Last. I use pandora all the time though.

It's quite similar, but has a more of a 'community aspect.' it's based entirely on what you listen to on your iPhone, iPod, or Droid, or in iTunes on your PC. From there it can make recommendations on other music to check out. (It sets up recommendation stations similar to Pandora)

There's already a mash-up site that will stream your pandora straight to last.fm, so you can keep track of that, too. Check it out here: http://pandorafm.real-ity.com/login.php

Another cool thing is that it looks at the songs you've played and from that tells you about concerts, events, and festivals in your area featuring those artists.

Just tried searching for you there, but no results for hivewax. I wonder if it can't find you if you don't use too often ??? I'm at 'wjfjunk' if you want to search for me.

Oops, it's "lpittack" - See, I haven't used it in a while. Thanks for reminding me... I'll add a few artists to see how it works again...

Oh, I added you. :lol

Cool. I saw the invite and accepted it. I'm interested in seeing what happens with the 'musical compatibility index' it comes up with.
