Last.fm (Scrobbler)

Last.fm is a music streaming site and social network. Using the so-called Audioscrobbler, Last.fm builds a detailed profile of each user's musical taste by recording1) the songs the user listens to.2) The site offers social networking features and can recommend and play artists similar to the user's favorites.

Reasons to install+run the Last.fm software on your system:

  • Quick access to many Last.fm features without opening the website
  • Possibility to listen to Last.fm music streams (e.g. your “personal radio”)
  • On MS Windows, it provides easy scrobbling support for Winamp and Windows Media Player

Although most audio players on Unix-like systems got plugins or support for scrobbling the played track to Last.fm, you can't listen to Last.fm music streams comfortably3) with them. Therefore it still makes sense to install Last.fm's software, even on Unix-like systems.
