"(if any Last.fm client developers are reading this, Like.fm uses an identical scrobbling API. You can email me at chris@like.fm if you'd like to help)." Hmm.

"(if any Last.fm client developers are reading this, Like.fm uses an identical scrobbling API. You can email me at chris@like.fm if you'd like to help)." Hmm. Can I just tell (if possible) amarok to use a Like.fm URL in place of last.fm? Also, the gender thing is not a big deal, but feels like a big sign saying "We're going to use your data for marketing purposes". If you think it actually adds to the quality of the user's experience (via some analytics and such), then that's a good thing. But my initial reaction is that all a site needs is a unique way to identify me; past a name and password, everything else I'm made to enter isn't done for for my benefit. Maybe I've been thinking about form usability too much lately for my own sites ...
