So anyway... anyone got any thoughts about the new last fm announcement i posted upthread?
http://blog.last.fm/2009/03/30/radio-announcement-revisited

God I am slow, I just realised what Rodney was thanking me for haha

hahaha--it was a good 'un.

Ioannis how do you feel about being forced to subscribe to last fm if you want to listen to radio?

i dunno. i haven't really been paying attention to last.fm lately. still, i seriously doubt i'll be subscribing again. time will tell.

I wonder how many users they will lose because of it? I suppose those who only scrobble wont care but the radio users will surely go elsewhere.

yeah, i've been primarily using it just to scrobble albums of late, so this hasn't affected my listening habits at all just yet.

anyone here actually listen to last.fm radio then?

Yeh, I do sometimes -- especially via the iPhone app. If I was looking at having to pay for it, though, I doubt I'd bother.

I've no idea if I'm representative or not. Put it this way, though: I don't think they're going to make much cash from this plan.

yeah not too bothered by it, don't really listen to last.fm radio.

Anyone ran the http://mainstream.vincentahrend.com/ recently?

18.58 % mainstream

The Cure at 60% mainstream and Rolling Stones at 64% are my two most mainstream artists by a long way. Are the Cure really considered (almost) as mainstream at the Stones?

on last fm plays, yes

31.47 % mainstream, which seems about right and which I'm totally happy with.

http://mainstream.vincentahrend.com/user/trailofgybe/overall/

4.17 % mainstream
Miles Davis 27.15 % is my highest. John Coltrane just dropped out of the top 30 it seems.

My previous figure was for the last 12 months, overall is 14.98 % mainstream.

19.64 % mainstream

Which is good until you notice how stupid how they rank how mainstream an act is. AnCo and Pavement more mainstream than T.I? Liz Phair less mainstream than the Mountain Goats? I mean, what? (Actually now I think about it, I do own like 3 mountain goats albums for every 1 liz phair album, maybe J0hnny D is making a mint off of just having so many bloody releases to collect.)

Overall http://i43.tinypic.com/2cctgjr.jpg

The Beatles obv. my most mainstream at like 75% or something.

Coldplay are the most mainstream artist on last fm

Coldplay are the most mainstream artist on deeez nuuuts.

25.87 % mainstream overall
23.26 % mainstream last 12 mo
22.20 % mainstream last 6 mo
20.99 % mainstream last 3 mo

who has the highest?

didn't last.fm have a functionality where you could give them multiple artists and it would give you a list of recommendations based on those?

it used to have lots of things years ago they no longer have. Like seeing a list of your top 500 albums played. Would love to see that now.

10.21 % mainstream overall
14.45 % mainstream last 12 mo
12.19 % mainstream last 6 mo
14.27 % mainstream last 3 mo

Ahh, you can still see it http://www.last.fm/user/trailofgybe/charts?subtype=albums

add your own username instead of 'trailofgybe' to see your own obviously.

11.65% mainstream overall
10.13% mainstream last 12 mo
5.17% mainstream last 6 mo
5.35% mainstream last 3 mo

If anyone ever listens to Minutemen - Double Nickels On The Dime then it's nearly always top album heh
xp

The month-based counts are all abou a month out of date for me. :/

All-time: 16.71 % mainstream
3-Month: 10.50 % mainstream

My most mainstream artist is Daft Punk at 53.87%, my least is Jesse Boykins III at 0.01%.

who?

I could only listen to the 1st 18 seconds before switching it off hehe. Sorry.

Your musical compatibility with reverenddollars is Low

Music you have in common includes Alex Moulton, Miles Davis, Matmos, The Bug and Sly & The Family Stone.

Considering I've listened to my top album more than my 2nd, 3rd and 4th combined, maybe I should give it a rest and expand the old palette.

ban pfunkboy from Afrofuturists!

10.75 % mainstream overall
10.30 % mainstream last 12 mo
