Last.fm Reviews

9 Best Free Music Download Sites in 2022
Last.fm is the flagship product of Audioscrobbler's music engine design team. Users "record" tracks more than 10 million times a day to Last FM's servers, it's one of the world's largest social music platforms.
9 best free Spotify alternatives
Last.fm is more about music discovery than listening to what you already know: its famous "scrobbling" analyses the songs you listen to (not just on the site, but in desktop and mobile music apps too) and comes up with suggestions for similar music it thinks you'll like. Frustratingly many of the available tracks are just previews, and the free radio streaming is a paid-for...

  • The day I canceled my Spotify subscription
    I switched to https://qobuz.com, mainly for the high audio quality (it goes up to 192kHz 24bit, which is worth it for me as I have the necessary equipment to make use of this), but it also supports "Spotify quality" i.e. Mp3 quality/320 kbps, but I stayed for the experience. It does not really have an algorithm, there is one playlist "My weekly Q", which updates each week with songs that you could like. The only... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
  • Mr. Bungle - Nananana (lost fake song)
    Hi, anyone remember that song? I remember I downloaded it from ares and I liked it but unfortunately it wasn't by mr bungle, it was just mislabelled (like the toxic cover). If anyone has it around I would like to hear it again! On last.fm it comes up as some people listen to it from time to time. Any info you have, or the original artist, I'd appreciate it. From what I remember it sounded like a demo and just said... Source: 5 months ago
  • 1970’s music makes me feel the most alive. What music does that for you?
    Try last.fm, great website for recommending music. Those one's you suggested are a bit more jazzy than I usually listen to but maybe try What's Goin' On - Marvin Gaye. Talking Book, or Songs in the Key of Life - Stevie Wonder. Couple of my favorites. Source: 5 months ago

  • I Tried Apple Music and That Made Me Realize How Much Polish TIDAL is Missing
    However, I can fully enjoy my last.fm subscription with Tidal thanks to the integrated scrobbler. I could with AM too but it would be necessary to download (and buy) two different scrobblers : one for iOS and one for macOS. Then, I feel like Tidal has more interesting recommendations, especially when we talk about lesser-known artists. Tidal Rising allows for nice discoveries while AM is much more focused on music...

  • Spectrum IP issue
    That makes sense. I hadn't thought about their route. Could I test that by doing a traceroute to mixcloud.com with and without the VPN? Source: over 1 year ago
  • Spectrum IP issue
    I've been having a bizarre Spectrumin NYC upload issue. When I try to upload a music podcast to a few sites, like mixcloud.com and others, I get timeout issues, very slow uploads, and general instability. I have gigabit internet with 40Mbs up, and the file size is 50MB which is not significant. Source: over 1 year ago
  • What other music apps are there ?
    I like mixcloud.com for my music. It's free for basic use plus I tire of hearing the same tracks over and over. Search what you like and you'll find shows playing whatever genre you're into. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Looking for more Jazz Rap
    This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but there's a mixtape artist Oonops on Brooklyn Radio. (I listen to it on mixcloud.com). It's him and a bunch of guest DJs, and he's got a ton of content. But one of his series is called "smokey jazz sessions". Some of it is more conventional jazz, but there's a lot of samples you'd probably recognize, and there's also a lot of hip hop woven in. Source: over 1 year ago
  • legal issues while djing
    Your best bet is to post to mixcloud.com or soundcloud.com They have license arrangements with everybody and as long as you're not trying to snatch credit for somebody else's original work, you will be just fine. Source: over 1 year ago
