I have over 150k songs scrobbled to Last.FM and have been a member since 2005. I actually can think of very few other services that I would care as much as if my Last.FM was compromised/deleted.
Same. 127k songs since '05, and I still cruise through the site regularly and look at what i was listening to on this day in 20xx.
I briefly paid for the site's radio functionality before it was crippled. It feels to me like they've died a similar death to Flickr (acquired, core team left, innovation stopped). Such a shame.
Agreed. Last.FM is such a trove of data. It is fascinating to see what I was listening to and when, and especially looking at macro events and seeing how that influenced the worlds listening habits.
It took Last.FM until 2012 to implement the ability to find your friends from Facebook. Seriously. It really is such a shame; they're a service that needs to be spun out.
Their event listings used to be my go-to place to find out about concerts. The problem is they have a bug they've never fixed (after at least 2 years) where you can't see events happening on the current night. I think it's related to timezone, and the fact they are based in the UK.
Now I've got songkick, which kicks ass at keeping me informed about shows. But the whole reason songkick is so effective for me is that I imported my listening history from last.fm when I first signed up.
29k since September 2004, and I listen to an album almost every day.
You're scrobbling songs during your whole work day, right? I disable it at work, since I don't pay much attention and end up with lots of plays I don't care much about.
I am listening to music all the time. I have it hooked up with all of the mobile services I've used (Spotify, Rdio), SoundCloud, and online radio services that support it in addition to regular old iTunes and Winamp on my computers. I'd say I listen to the equivalent of 3-4 albums per day. There's a lot of random one-offs that get tossed in there, but there have also been months where I either turned off the service out of embarrassment over something I wanted to listen to and forgot to turn back on, or just plain didn't download it or sign into it through another service. I figure that the fluff evens those times out.
