This is the modern-day equivalent of writing on the back of your maths book at school. Used to take me hours with a ruler to do this stuff.

i have no idea what the logo just above the NY Dolls is, btw.

http://www.last.fm/search?m=tag&q=chav <---- check out how many bands get the label chav
chav rock

Top artists include: Enter Shikari , Oasis , and Arctic Monkeys ... see all

theres a lot more chav tags than that one as you will see if you click it, but i thought the lex would like chav rock

I have mentioned on a previous thread that my top neighbour used to be a guy who goes by the handle greysunken cunt, someone pointed out this is from Ulysses. Anyway he is no longer my top neighbour but he's in my friends, I saw him listening to Gilberto Gil e Jorge Ben so I thought I'd go and have a look at his profile see what other cool shit he's listening to and how close our compatibility was and I found from his page this wiki page he had created, which I found rather funny: http://www.last.fm/music/Alan+Shearer/+wiki?ver=1

http://www.last.fm/group/ilXor/charts

New Order returned to the top

Major LOL's at that Alan Shearer wiki, that is existential truth to the core! :-)

Genius.

Oh what the hell...

why do people tag songs with the name of the artist? seems utterly pointless to me

Why do people tag at all? Is it to make a playlist or something? Seems utterly pointless to me.

I've not found how or where, but can you tag your songs in iTunes, and if so, will last.fm recognize that tag? I could see use in that, but otherwise, I just don't get the tagging I guess.

You can search for stuff by tags.

Stuff?

e.g http://www.last.fm/search?m=tag&q=donut

You can't say that's not useful!

I see! I don't know how I lived without it all those years!

tag radio

But does last.fm recognize tags (or grouping) done in iTunes?

tagging on last fm is for tag radio and the like. It's nothing to do with ID tagging.

it's handy insofar as that it's a great way to search artists. i used it a lot for finding artists from a certain year, since lastfm doesn't really organize information chronologically (although i've since discovered rateyourmusic is much better for that). the problem is of course, everyone is responsible for tagging their own stuff, and as far as i can tell it isn't policed or moderated at all, so you end up with erroneous tags and whatnot.

the biggest pissoff for me is the tag "bands i've seen live".... WHO CARES?!?!

a year or two ago I tagged the ILX decade polls; if you have a paid account i'm pretty sure you can listen to one person's specific tags:

http://www.last.fm/user/groupy/library/tags?tag=ilx+60s+poll&view=cloud
http://www.last.fm/user/groupy/library/tags?tag=ilx+70s+poll&view=cloud
http://www.last.fm/user/groupy/library/tags?tag=ilx+80s+poll&view=cloud

the tagging was tedious but it was a handy way to create a "station" that streamed the top 100 or so.

lots of tags are for personal reference, I had an "albums i've heard" tag, useful to no one but me.

wow i just passed 40,000 plays. the weird thing is my top artist apparently makes up less than 2% of my listening. Somehow I feel that's contributing to the world's ills.

Musically: thanks! Now there are tags I can rely on! :-)

i just realised some tags have their own special page now, eg http://www.last.fm/tag/queer

Muse have the most loved track http://www.last.fm/charts

RADIOHEAD AND NEW ORDER KNOCKED OFF THE TOP OF ILXOR CHARTS!!!
