Last.fm enhanced!
Yesterday the guys at Last.fm gave their website a huge makeover. Lots of new features have been added and a new Last.fm player. The site is now built with Web 2.0
technology in mind from the bottom up. It’s a lot more clean and slick and in general a lot more intuitive. I’ve been using the service for 3 years now, and I love it. For those who haven’t tried it yet, you can use it to explore your taste in music and help you discover new music.
One of the new features include a Recommendation Radio. Last.fm has always provided recommendations based on what the user listens to and the user’s social network, and you’ve always been able to preview those songs in that recommended list. Now you can play a radio based entirely on such recommendations. This radio is also customizable! You can set a level of obscurity, like “popular” or “obscure”, and you can select and deselect artists who will be played on the channel.
