I wish Pandora would do the same. I'd gladly pay a couple of bucks a month.

fuck'em, I'm signing out

Why stop at borders? Because advertising is only effective to targeted demographics. American companies aren't going to pay for advertising outside of American borders, and there probably aren't enough companies advertising to other nations to make it a viable business anymore.

Signing out as well.

You fscking scared me there, dude. Turns out they're only going to be charging for the radio service.

"Everything else on Last.fm (scrobbling, recommendations, charts, biographies, events, videos etc.) will remain free in all countries, like it is now."

i've never even used the radio functions on last.fm. if they started charging for the other shit i'd weep a little.

"You fscking scared me there, dude"

oh sorry, for me the 'radio' function is lastfm's most important function, by far.

you scrobble -> last.fm knows what you like -> you get 'radiostations' full of music you like
(or you type in an artist/genre/event -> you get music like that artist)

I'm a slacker.com man myself. Except thier ads have become longer as of late. You'll still never hear one more then 30 seconds and never more then once in a hour.

Whatever. I have converted to spotify.
