The 8th most popular social network tool on the Web

Last.fm is a UK-based Internet radio and music community website, founded in 2002. It claims over 21 million active users based in more than 200 countries. On 30 May 2007, CBS Interactive acquired Last.fm for £140m ($280m USD).

Using a music recommendation system called "Audioscrobbler", Last.fm builds a detailed profile of each user's musical taste by recording details of all the songs the user listens to, either on the streamed radio stations or on the user's computer or some portable music devices. This information is transferred to Last.fm's database ("scrobbled") via a plugin installed into the user's music player. The profile data is then displayed on the user's profile page. The site offers numerous social networking features and can recommend and play artists similar to the user's favourites.

Users can create custom radio stations and playlists from any of the audio tracks in Last.fm's music library, and are able to listen to some individual tracks on demand, or download tracks if the rights holder has previously authorised it. Registration is required to acquire a profile but is not necessary to view any part of the site or to listen to radio stations.

Only free in the U.S., Germany and U.K.

    A novel idea that lets you keep track of your music and meet other fans with the same taste. The interface can be a little clumsy, especially when searching for artists or fan groups, but it's still a spectacular service.

    Jeden z najlepszych serwisów działających w sieci. Utworzenie swojego muzycznego profilu w tak rozbudowanej odsłonie to rzadkość. Kolejnym pozytywem jest język, gdyż strona w całości funkcjonuje po polsku. Doskonałe źródło informacji na temat mniej znanych zespołów oraz możliwość wypromowania tych młodszych. Opcja słuchania swojej biblioteki oraz propozycji również zasługuje na uznanie. Twórcy wykonali i wykonują, poprzez rozbudowywanie serwisu, świetną robotę!
