I quit Last.fm when they sold out to become yet another mouthpiece for the music industry instead of a social service for music lovers that put their users first.
I use Spotify these days, which never pretended to be anything else but a music industry outlet, but I'm not half as passionate about it as I used to be about Last.fm. I really miss Last.fm's sofar unrivaled community driven recommendations.
I'm afraid the perfect music service will only come if the industry finally gives up its outdated restrictions.

Can you explain what that means? I'm only a casual user of last.fm, so I wouldn't notice a negative change even it slapped me in face; I'm genuinely curious about how they've become a mouthpiece for industry, and how that's changed the user experience.
- unicornporn 16y agoWhy not use both? Spotify scrobbles. You could use Last.fm to make recommendations based on your listening data, I do.
