I listen to Mr Children's new album "Home" and Younha's first Korean album "gobaekhagi joheun nar" while finishing my thesis. Deadline is in 2 weeks.

I wanted to try last.fm, but it seems my connection is too slow? :?:
I listened to a few songs and most of them stopped for buffering.
If you register and download the software, can you adjust the bitrate there?

Just download the client, set it to use either iTunes/Foobar/WMP, whenever I play a song, it takes about 1 minute for a 5 minute song or whatever, and it just adds it to your profile. There isn't any buffering as far as I know. It counts down in the client, when it reaches 0:00, the track is scrobbled to your last.fm page. I'm pretty sure even 32k dial up users with WebTV could use this easily. 8)

That's nice. Thanks for the info. Even my connection is a bit faster than a 32k dial-up. :wink:
I just went to the page to try it and the streaming there didn't work too well.
Maybe I'll give it a try and download it.

Are you talking about the streaming songs on artist pages? Nobody really uses that. There isn't any streaming involved with Last.fm besides the free songs, which fucking suck. It's meant to track your listening habits.

To test it, the page told me to enter my favourite artist. I entered it, then the page started to play songs from various "similar" artists. Those songs were streamed.
On the artists's pages you can only listen to 30 seconds of each song as far as I remember.

Yeah, that has nothing to do with the concept of Last.FM. It tracks what you listen to on your computer, sampling songs is just a stupid bonus feature. I have no idea why you're basing anything on the sample tracks.

I thought sample tracks should give you an idea of the actual thing. That's what samples are for originally... :roll:

Are you feeling OK manuel? Before this I had no inclination to believe you had mental health problems but I'm starting to wonder now.
LAST FM is meant to track your listening habits on your computer, with your own music stored on your hard disk drive.
I have absolutely no idea why you are even bothering with the online streaming.

First, I don't like the tone of what you're saying.
Second, I thought of it as an internet radio station. Why? Because it lets me listen to songs on their homepage.
I'm quite busy at the time and I didn't feel like reading through the whole homepage of last.fm.
I only skimmed through it.
One quote from the page:
"we use it to create personalised radio stations"
I thought they'd deliver me content I might be interested in. That's where I got that idea.
If it's only going to track my listening habits then I most certainly won't install that.
I know what I'm listening to, I don't need a site to tell me that. It reeks a bit of spyware btw.

Thanks, EvilNES.
And don't forget, we're not gentlemen, but gentle nerds. :wink:
Is this new Gackt single anything like his "Love Letter" album? I really enjoyed that.

It's like a 5 minute drive for me. Anyways, right now I'm listening to a bunch of random stuff from Ben Harper to Red Hot Chili Peppers to the Dropkick Murphy's.

WTF? I posted in this thread and issued a partial apology to manuel, then it's gone!?
anyway, I use Last.fm to browse through neighbors and friends, then I discover new artists. it's been pretty effective so far.

(Although I don't know what you wrote, but prtial apology accepted. ;) Maybe it has to do something with a forum downtime yesterday? There was about an hour yesterday at night I couldn' access the forums. One post I was trying to send off wasn't posted as it seems... So basically you use last.fm what I use the jpopsuki tracker and online radio stations for, to discover new songs you may like.
