Last.fm

I think I’m a little late to the game on this one, but Last.fm is pretty sweet. I have been looking for a streaming music solution for a while and Last.fm is by far the best that I have come across. Definitely worth checking out. The coolest thing about it I think (besides it’s seamless, ad-free streaming music) is that it it’s NOT organized into channels – instead you just type the name of the band you want to hear at the time, and Last.fm feeds up similar music to the band you selected. This eliminates having to find stations or channels that have the mix you are in the mood for – when you want to switch from ambient mellow background music, type in Lemon Jelly, Radiohead, etc. When you want something higher energy, type in Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica…you get the point. They even have Jethro Tull. I’m pretty sure I’ve only scratched the surface of the features at this point – it also looks like everything is tagged and you can use them to filter as well. Lots of cool widgets too. Pretty sweet!
