Everything is a Freaking DNS problem - last.fm http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/taxonomy/term/766/0 en I love Last.fm http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/i-love-lastfm <p>But I won't become a paid subscriber when they close down access for some countries</p> <p>Last.fm is awesome .. it learned about my music habits, and it got really good at streaming me My Music, yes.. you read that correctly .. about 85% of the music it sends to my rhythmbox also lives in /home/MyMusic , that's like the CD's I bought and ripped to play anywhere I go.. I already paid for those, so why would I want to pay for them again ?</p> <p>Pandora did a better job in teaching me about new music I'd like .. it gave me new music to listen to, but it got killed in Europe, heck even my I can only be bought in the US Chumby doesn't want to play from Pandora.</p> <p>StuBru tells me about the new music etc , but it doesn't have a "Ban"/"Hate It" button so I only use it in my disconnected car, Oh it's not that Last.fm was perfect on the Hate part either.. I hate Filip kowlier's music , I told it a zillion times .. it keeps forgetting.</p> <p>So when Last.fm eventually will close down for people istening from Belgium </p> <p>I`ll probably move to <a href="http://listen.grooveshark.com/" rel="nofollow">listen.grooveshark.com</a>. , till they decide I have to pay again for something I already own.</p> http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/i-love-lastfm#comments bait and switch last.fm music Tue, 05 May 2009 20:36:02 +0000 Kris Buytaert 907 at http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog 2 years ahead http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/node/581 <p><a href="http://christophe.vandeplas.com/2008/01/31/music-without-downside">Christophe</a> just proved it.
