Sometimes it wont let me add people on this computer so I usually dont bother and just let people add me. I dont really like adding people first unless they say to (ie by posting here) but i usually add anyone who requests me.
I do however have 150 friends who added me that i have no clue who they are or never chat to. But hey who cares.

yeah I noticed that they have started cleaning up the metadata. there are some that are fucking me over though. on my top tracks, they changed

"blur - girls & boys (pet shop boys radio edit)" to
"blur - girls & boys (7" mix)"

but the PSB mix isn't a standard 7" mix.

also, my top two songs used to be

Mason vs. Princess Superstar – Perfect Exceeder
Mason vs. Princess Superstar – Perfect Exceeder (Vocal Club mix)

now they are

Mason vs Princess Superstar – Perfect Exceeder
Mason vs. Princess Superstar – Perfect Exceeder

are they really stripping the "club mix" distinction? and since they aren't merging artists yet (which really seems like the logical first step over merging tracks) i have what looks to be the exact same song twice in a row.

yeah, i am looking down my list and they have stripped quite a bit of data regarding remixes. for tracks where the additional info was "radio edit" or "album mix" i am happy that it's gone, but where it was a specific remix, lots of tracks are missing that data now. i'm so screwed.

i think they are merging some artists...but obv not all. some of them are annoying me too, eg

Yung L.A. - Ain't I (Remix) (Feat. Young Dro & T.I.)

is now

Yung LA Ft. Young Dro & T.I. – Ain't I (Remix)

^^wtf i don't want the featured artists in w/the main artist. it seems to be really inconsistent in this regard though. also,

Kelly Rowland - Gotsta Go (Part I) (feat. Da Brat)

is now

Kelly Rowland – Gotsta Go Pt. 1 (Feat. Da Brat) (Bonus Track)

^^why do i care whether it's a bonus track or not?!

ethan, gang gang dance are some sort of NYC experimental art band, dunno much about who exactly they are. i got into them cuz one of my favourite grime MCs is featured on their latest album, which is really good. tim f loves it too.

Your musical compatibility with tipsy39 is Low

Music you have in common includes Young Jeezy, Grace Jones, Lil' Wayne, T.I. and Santogold.

and it only shows on your front page which tracks have been autocorrected...when i scroll down my entire top tracks list there's no real indication that something has been merged, except that i don't recognize playing that particular version so many times. and once i do find them and want to vote for it to be changed back, if it's not a particularly popular track i doubt it will get enough people to even notice or care.

the other day my recommendations radio spit out some funky live version of 'makes me wanna holler' labeled as if it's the normal what's going on version. easy enough to find it in this case but gonna get annoying if that type of thing is routine.

you can probably browse through your library by artist - i just looked through my loved tracks to see if any had changed.

i'm looking at my artists through my library tab but it doesn't indicate right off the bat which ones have been changed, which is what i would like.

yeah they say they haven't been merging all artists but i have noticed some changes, "andrew spencer and the vamprockerz" is now just "andrew spencer" (no realtion to the former) so they have basically created a new overlap that didn't exist yesterday. on a good note, they merged "diana ross and the supremes" with "the supremes".

what i would really like last.fm to do is let us manually change the ones they autochanged, and based on what people change their tracks to last.fm can go by what the popular decision is for the track standard.

good in theory, but until they give us more leverage i'm going to have to turn off this functionality.

yeah i care about this way too much

autocorrection is all well and good but why can't you manually change something back if it was right in the first place ffs?

xp snap

also it's GOT RID of featured artists on some tracks completely, eg Bobby Valentino – Rearview (Ridin') (feat. Ludacris) is now just Bobby Valentino – Rearview (Ridin')

trouble is i like some autocorrections and think they are v useful!

Ohio Players and The Ohio Players are still the same. It's Ohio Players damnit!

bravecub you can in the settings, but then you lose all of them

I'd like to see the group charts change so that the number of tracks an individual listens to corresponds better to the ranking of the artist.

I have a couple artists I've noted that should be corrected, but haven't. They need to fold PPP into Platinum Pied Pipers and Solange Knowles into Solange.

If I stream my music over my Xbox (or plug my iPod into my Xbox) is that scrobbable?

also, Mýa into Mya and Teairra Marí into Teairra Mari, or like vice versa

xp

pleasant plains pipers

mordy I know someone who does that. But I dont know if its a special plug in or not

Anyone tried http://www.last.fm/tools/charts yet? I used to have a sunn 0))) one

Found this thread. I think it might work - I'll let ya'all know!

Hahaha! Tell that one to fucking Pfunk. We never matched up with Replacements before. And I could swear I played Replacements at least once before, but Lastfm never matched us up for Replacements. LOL
