That little blue speaker in my profile isn't there just for kicks. It links to my iTunes playlist. Tunes I'm listening to as I type. But it's not just for me. Anyone can set it up. For free. Step 1: go to http://www.last.fm and create a free account Step 2: log into your profile and enter your last.fm username in the appropriate profile field (at bottom) Step 3: hit Save

I don't think you need iTunes to use it either. There's a free Last.FM player that lets you listen to others' tunes. Legally. It's crazy cool. |

You can't actually listen to someone else's librry, but you can see what they're playing and (if Last.FM has the music) listen to a 30 sec preview of the songs. It's pretty neat. |

If you download their player you'll see what I mean. As you play your itunes or train their player it learns your musical tastes and matches you with other users' profiles and feeds you their songs over their player. |

I would suggest that on the MOL profile page that you change the "Your Last.fm URL" text to instead say, Your Last.fm SCREENNAME. I found it a bit confusing to set up. |

I think the icon sucks, and I think that just about any other one would have been better. A pox on you. |

Um, actually I don't need the password. Checked and saw the field open in your profile. It's there. Look for "Last.FM screen name". |

Log into your profile and look for the Additional Personal Information section; then look for this line and fill it in with your last.fm screen name.
Buzzsaw, I fixed yours already. Should show up now. |

What about those of use who do not use itunes? Is there something available for those who choose to use a program such as winamp, which is much better than itunes? |

there is a plugin on the last-fm site for WinAmp, which is only better than iTunes if you don't use iTunes. |

So I can use this audio thing with winamp, which would be everyone's first choice if it weren't for teenage girls and people with no idea about technology? |

I got fed up with the lag, so I'm cacheing last listened to tracks on our server. Should begin working as of NOW. Older links won't update. |
