I'm just curious ... I have a Last.fm account and have been using many of the features a year ago, but not really since they had their relaunch.

Yes, both to keep track of what I listen to and how much (it's kind of interesting), and to discuss Prog with like-minded people.

last.fm is usually no substitute for research so it's mostly a signature feeder.

however it did remind me about miriodor and egg yesterday so I love it for that

I use it but I hardly ever listen to music on my computer so it's pretty useless. I like looking at the charts and such though

Yup, I use it (though strangely enough, not as my sig). Mainly for the same reasons as Philéas.

Tried to set up an account, failed horribly, gave up.
 
Its cool to have a nice list of stuff you listened to, but I can always do that on my own (and some of them are recorded in my iTunes anyway).

You can use the new signature mode on my website (http://www.progtology.com) ... simply enter the albums you listened to, and you get a playlist signature very similar to the one for Last.fm.

i use it to see stats on what I play, and to see what others like, but visit it only at irregular intervals. I wrecked my sound card, so \I have only started using it again two weeks ago, after two months of listening only on my MP3 player and hifiset.

Yep, I use it for sig feeding, and I visit the website regularly.

It's kinda useful, because it lets me see which artists I have been listening too much to, and which I have been listening too little to. If there is an interesting artist way down on my charts, I'll try and 'kick' myself into giving their music a shot.

Yeah, but I don't have a signature.  Lately, I've been using the CD and record players more, and that doesn't register with Last.fm of course.
