Title: Last.fm beta
Post by: kosmo vinyl on July 11, 2008, 11:11:00 pm
Anyone else been granted access to the beta? Haven't had a chance to kick the all the tires yet, but tried my hand at creating a playlist based on recent DJ sets at the club.
 
 Am impressed at the depth of their catalog so far. Of the sixty plus tracks I went looking for, two thirds of them were streamable full length ones.  Obviously there was a handful of track missing altogether, all primarily from local artists.

I really like the new design, but I haven't figured out how to adjust the display number of top artists and songs from 10 back to 50 (or at least 25). Any ideas?

well seeing as it's owned by CBS, one of the most old media companies you'll likely to find, it wont be seen as a threat to fm radio but merely a pleasant diversion.  plus last.fm is used by people worldwide, so it can't be seen as a primary threat to us fm stations.
