Topic: Last FM Posted: November 08 2009 at 10:22 |
I just thought it would be straightforward. Click on the track and the track plays. but this is not the case. Thought it would be convenient while in the office. I dunno . Thing about computers : THEY DON' T WORK.

Rhapsody is also an option, maybe not one you want?

I'll just stick to bringing CDs to my office. Simpler. Much simpler. I just thought this would be a convenient way of listening to music.
And I did start out with the last FM. I got an e-mail from one of their representatives this morning telling me not to give up whatever that means.

You create an account and sign up for the flatrate, then you browse for artists and click on their albums/tracks to listen to them. How's that complicated? Alternatively you can install their Windows application and download the tracks to your computer, or sign up for the To-Go flatrate and listen to the tracks on mobile players, but the most basic form of usage is that you simply stream the tracks in the browser.

Then you don't need last.fm, computers, or anything technology related.

It is free for me to use indefinitely. I know that there is a paid for version, but I don't see the point. I get all the usability I want out of it for free. Maybe it is only like that in USA?
Edit: Where do I need a subscription to listen to the radio?
If you live outside the US, UK or Germany you can try out Last.fm
Radio with a free 30-track trial, after which a subscription is
required to listen to it.
Off the FAQ
I have no idea why it would play something other than what you want, unless you are using the radio, which plays similar music to the band you play.

It's free to create an account, but it takes a subscription (4 dollars a month) to listen to the last.fm radio. Vibbaby is right. That's how it works everywhere, at least that's what I know.

They are truly evil after all. I've been using them for quite a while am thoroughly convinced. Maybe the problem is that you didn't start with first fm?
