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. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-2024/vote" rel="nofollow - 2024 Release Poll Listened to:

| 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. |

| I use it for the charts, for the radio, fir sigs, well, apparently not the PA forum sig, but I do have a link here. Perhaps I should get the chart. |

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 ------------- FREEDOM OF SPEECH GO TO HELL |

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. Edit: Joined the band wagon! -------------

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). ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

You can use the new signature mode on my website ( http://www.progtology.com - 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. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-2024/vote" rel="nofollow - 2024 Release Poll Listened to:

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. ------------- The scattered jigsaw of my redemption laid out before my eyes Each piece as amorphous as the other - Each piece in its lack of shape a lie

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.

^ you're the only one that it "blocks" - at least I haven't heard anyone else. Maybe it's time for a computer upgrade? I suggest you target your axe at your computer, not at innocent kittens!

I can't help it, I love the charts. In a roundabout way it feeds my sig (it's a program that takes the pictures of my most tracks played per album) I'm too much of a music nerd to pass up an oppurtunity to have tehse cool little charts saying everything I play -------------  <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |

I use it in full, but many of you'd probably laugh or develop new hatreds for me if you visited and looked at what i listen to...
i only listen to about 1/3 or less "prog" ... i like lots of music... ------------- I'm a reasonable man, get off my case |

I like to keep a tab on my listening trends, and of course for my
signature. Other than that I only use it to look at what my friends are
listening to.

probably because I've been listening to prog lately. Giove it a week, and tons of non-prog and ABSOLUTELY non-prog will get itself hooked into the chart...I just got the program back the other week too, as my computer is new. 1/3 was perhaps a small overstep, considering what everyone considers prog and what's not....if prog is just 70s music...i'd give myself about 1/12 or less...if you count the modern stuff, it bumps up to 1/3 or so. Lately I've been listening to lots of Rufus Wainwright and just an odd assortment of songs from my 10000+ song library--took forever to get it all back onto my computer...one reason why new computers SUCK. But I like this computer  ------------- I'm a reasonable man, get off my case |
