Following in Amazon's footsteps, two student projects independently use 'collaborative filtering' to bring recommendations and social networking to online music; soon they will join forces.

    I still feel that a song isn’t worth listening to if it ain’t scrobbled

    I loved last.fm. Used it for like a decade until I stopped caring about logging every time I listened to something. Was real good at finding music I liked. I used to view it as a reflection of me and then I got older and stopped caring about public reflections of myself

      I’m ditching it for listenbrainz since those social capabilities are useless for me. My use case is actually for logging and storing info, not publishing it.

    Does it even still exist? I loved it back then. I never (consciously) did that “scrobble” thing, but I listened to it a lot and found new music there.

        Ah, I just checked. It looks like you can no longer listen to music directly on last.fm, only from other sources like YouTube or Spotify. Well, times change.
