Pandora Last.fm Group

[Bosbeetle]

I've made a openpandora group on last.fm. http://www.last.fm/group/OpenPandora

You're free to join.


This topic here can be used to share info on ported mp3 players and compatibility wiht audioscrobbler. Scrobbling on the go would change my charts a lot

 

[hells_dark]

I'm in

I definatly won't use last.fm. anyone researched who owns it and what this corporation is frequently doing?

 

[Bosbeetle]

I agree they were better when they were still audioscrobbler

Nowaday it is owned by CBS I think But anyway I like it. And what they regularly do, hmm the only thing I can think of is host amazings shows by the likes of acid mothers temple and secret chiefs 3 etc.

I think this is the problem, or part of it anyway..

c.b.s have announced that they will be distributing and broadcasting artists recordings at iTunes via Podcast services without the permission of the artists - c.b.s are going to find themselves in serious trouble paying huge legal fees and legal costs as they continue to abuse copyright laws and distribution rights - once again the major labels are stamping all over the independents and taking advantage of their position - last.fm will not pay royalties for these plays either which is a continuance of their bias treatment - it's time to phone the lawyers


Shame if the artists are loosing out. It should be the record companies and the third parties that loose out (if anybody)

EDIT: Joined anyway though

Well I dont use the radio features anyway. And I support artists by buying vinyl

ok, so i retract my previous comment. i think the scrobbler feature is quite useful, i thought it was just Pandora (the music project) and social networking mixed. i can hook it up to winamp, too. wish i would have tried it sooner...

I always liked audioscrobbler to keep track of what ive played. And what my friends have played.

I'm curious to what music my fellow Pandora enthusiasts listen to (whenever the charts become available).

I use it for finding new artist to listen to too. It recommends new music from the same style of tracks and artists you listen to

The music streaming is pretty terrible - choice is based on a love/hate basis, so if it plays a crappy song by an artist you otherwise like, saying you hate it will stop other songs by that artists/similar artists.
Otherwise, the scrobbling is cool and I'm all for anything that introduces me to new music =]
