Like.fm != Last.fm
I have no idea about Like.fm since I've never used it, but I agree that Last.fm is better than Ping for now. However, I think that since Ping just comes with iTunes it will be able to garner a much larger userbase, which could make it much more valuable as Ping itself improves. Last.fm is just a little bit too nerdy/difficult for a lot of people to deal with.
- chrischen 16y agoYea that was my reason for making Like.fm. I didn't like all the fragmented 3rd party clients. After you sign up for Last.fm it doesn't even take you to the client download page. It really made it hard for someone not really into it all. I wanted Like.fm to be dead simple install and forget. You don't need to "love" tracks, you can just rate directly from iTunes like you normally do (if you do). And since my user base would be small, I bring Like.fm to the user base via the Facebook tab. I think someone commented before that the trick is to get the average non-enthusiast user to install a program to monitor your music. Well if tech can't be made easier to use then mother's and grandma's wouldn't be using iPads today! So Like.fm is your less nerdy, easier to setup social music site.
