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.

Checked and saw the field open in your profile. It's there. Look for "Last.FM screen name".

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?
