I've long been a fan of last.fm. They've provided a simple service: making it simple to keep track of all the music you listen to. Based on what you and a million of other users liked it would also create recommendations based on that data.
What separated last.fm from the rest of the sites out there was the radio-feature. You could tune into your "radio station" and actually stream live recommendations, or you could listen to friends' stations. This was awesome.
Too bad that's no longer the case.
If you want to be able to reap the benefits of last.fm's immense music-databases, something you helped build up, chances are you will now have to pay. What last.fm refers to "some parts of the world", is really everywhere except the US, the UK and Germany.
Reading their feedback in the comments, I can see why they do this from a business point of view, but I simply cannot support websites trying to divide the internet into countries. It's not. It's one bloody internet.
I'll miss last.fm, but I refuse to contribute or support a site operating like this. Oh btw, since you wont see that on last.fm, I'm playing The Cinematic Orchestra right now.
