Last.fm

[Kikuichimonji]

Last.fm is a website that tracks which music you listen on your pc. The best part of it is that you can create groups and create group charts and such.

Now, I don't know if anyone is up for it, but I've created an Eurobricks group. It can be found here. If you aren't a member of last.fm yet, you need to sign up first. That should be self-explanatory if you follow the link.

When you've signed up, wou'll need to download a small program that tracks the music you listen to.

If anyone signs up, post your member name here and I'll approve you as a member :-D

Sounds interesting. I guess the real question is : what about privacy ? I own licence for all the wmv I have on my computer, but what about people with mp3 ?

The idea sounds liek fun though, we could have a Eurobricks top 10 musics every week :-D

[Kikuichimonji]

I have both legal and, well, "less legal" music on my pc. It picks up both of those just fine. I've been using it for 2 months or so, and I've never really had any privacy problems.

I see that in my first message, I didn't mention the fact that it also comes up with recommendations of artists you may like, and also shows people with the same taste as you.

And do realize that for a top 10, we need at least 15 members. Come one everyone, sign up! It's fun :-D

You need to download a plug-in for the music player you use first. You can find them on the site. When you've installed the plug-in, it will automatically record the songs you play on your pc.

Odd, it should work then. Did you tick the plugin box? I use WMP and you have to do that...but that would seem pretty logical to me.

It might also take a while before your songs appear.
