Rolling last.fm thread 2009 no haters!

ahh no tracks is http://www.last.fm/group/ilXor/charts?charttype=weekly&subtype=track&range=218

Lots of good jazz on Spotify. Plenty of Blue Note.

Wtf... I just refreshed my user page (I'm a subscriber), and all my charts and my loved tracks are gone! There are zero loved tracks, it says (I had 396...). I can't see any charts. Is the site crashing, or am I being fucked over?

seems to be a db problem

Yeah, loved tracks are back now, though it's not scrobbling. Seems okay though, pfew.

Scrobbling is working great for me...

it's all good in my hood atm

I do not believe I have played Pink more than the other Boris albums. No way.

Neko Case finally overtook Laura Marling for my #1 listened artist ever.

Wow, "My Girls" has been #1 on the ILXOR tracks chart every week this year except for one in mid-February, when the Juan MacLean record leaked and "One Day" rose to the top.

I wish they had the "Unique to this Group" functionality for users as well.

it's been refusing to scrobble from my ipod for the last few days. any suggestions?

reinstall the program?

still not working :(

I've kinda got an itch for last fm again. Lately I've just been scrobbling things from my iPod without logging in, but I'm in the mood for this today. It bugs me that my radio songs haven't changed and my bands haven't changed either.

No one cares, but I'm on a Can trip at the moment, and it's about time. I really should play them more.

why are new order top again in the last.fm chart? There's no new remastered cd's or anything out are there? Seems strange.

Maybe someone saw someone else was listening to New Order and thought they'd do likewise. That's part of the point of last.fm, isn't it?

This blog post is a bit on the hyperbolic side, but it does sum up well the problems of last.fm's recent "service changes":

http://xrrf.blogspot.com/2009/03/last-fm-summons-whine-switches-off.html

Any non- UK/US/Germany posters with an opinion on this?

Well, to me that really is the main problem with this. Why give UK/US/Germany scrobblers a pass? On their blog they only came up with this answer:

"These are the countries in which we have the most resources to support an ad sales organization, which is how we earn money to pay artists and labels for their music. We are focused on the US, UK, and Germany as key markets, with the help of the CBS Interactive salesforce and our own sales team here in London. Our headquarters are in the UK and we’ve always had a strong presence in DE.

And so we’ve made the decision to focus on these markets for free streaming radio. We are still available worldwide and while listening is subscription, all the other rich content on the site is still free."

So much for the global economy right?

I'm a subscriber. I'm confused about if subscribers also have to cough up to use the radio. But the whole thing stinks because it's directed at certain regions, whereas other regions are left alone. Why not charge $0.50 in all countries instead?

I'm Dutch, but UK/US/Germany-users, like yourself, can have a opinion about this as well. What say you?

Oh yeah, and the glorification of "the help" they receive from CBS is really uncalled for. It's CBS whose doing this in the first place!

I've only streamed a couple of songs ever, so this doesn't affect me personally at all. But wasn't last.fm going to allow people to pay for all-you-can-stream? Whatever happened to that?

Yeah it totally sucks I think, and it's pretty weak to use the "key markets" excuse. As that blog post says, there's no reason why European users shouldn't move over to Spotify wholesale now, which I must admit I have done now.

If you're in the US, you don't have that option, though.

we americans are always discriminated against

good luck USA!

Actually there were recent New Order remasters, Pfunk. A lot of people complained about their quality, though, so they're re-releasing them sometime next month.
