I wonder why people write their opinions on facebook music experience sharing without mentioning that last.fm already solved this problem at least once and the solution was a meaningful product that worked for some people. In this context, reading claims like "a constant pipeline of what's queued up in Spotify, it all becomes meaningless" make me laugh. People figured it out and it wasn't meaningless.
If they don't know about last.fm, why do they bother? They obviously don't care about music very much.
- Alexia 15y agoThe whole point of Last.fm is that you get stats on your listening habits (and those of your friends). The realtime thing is just how the system collects the stats. Besides, even there, my friends' "Now playing" stuff in never bigger than a small icon on the side. It's not the core of the site. Facebook, with Spotify, gives you the useless part (the "Now playing") without the good part (the advanced stats, recommandations, music compatibility, etc)
- guard-of-terra 15y agoThat's the fact any seamless sharing reviewer should mention. Others have figured out, the world doesn't end with facebook.
- icebraining 15y agoAgreed. A single event can be meaningless, but the aggregation can still have value. Of course, that depends on how the system manages the data, not on the data itself.
