[...] Last.fm. Maintenant qu’il est de notoriété que les chiffres et amis sur MySpace sont complètement fabriqués—c’est Last.fm qui comble ce vide. Plutôt que de devéloper tout un paragraphe sur le cas d’école Last.fm, laissez moi vous référez l’article suivant qui en présente un très bon résumé. excellent summary. [...]

Last.fm is pretty sweet actually. I was never sure what my band’s mucis was like for real until I put it up on last.fm. Obviously putting it there and hoping people come and randomly visit dosen’t quite work, which is where one of their cheap powerplay campaigns comes into play. You can target a 100 visitors for like Ã‚Â£15 or something. Once you get that many visitors who are “offered” your music you automatically start finding a fanbase.

Not only that but you often find that there are some people who actually litreally *love* your music and then even click on the “love this track” button.

Even though my band only has three recorded tracks so far, putting just those three has been really fruitful :-)

Hey I really like the way you’ve blogged “What websites should I be on”. I agree, Last.fm’s good, but the average unsigned band is lost in the crowd. The best website for a band to be on is their own. So many bands do not have their own website! Why? Anyway, Last.fm would be in my top ten as well, third actually ;)

Hi August,

I can’t speak for others but I use Last.fm as a radio, I stream it all.

Occasionally I will download something for review but as a rule it’s just on in the background.

So 128k would be fine, it also gives you the 320k MP3′s to offer at your own site to gibe people a reason to come and have look.

my two cents.

I found that someone had already started a page about me on last.fm so I went, signed up and then downloaded the Linux version of their software. It didn’t work (error said there were missing files).

So I wrote their tech support, told them all of this and asked what I should do to fix it. All I got back was “you should go download the Linux version.”

Hey, thanks for all the help, last.fm!

So would you recommend to put up all the tracks from a new album release as whole track streams or just some of them? And in what quality 128kb or 320 ? Personally I like to hear music in as good as possible quality even if it’s for pre-listening but maybe people will just stream instead of buy if the quality is the same?

hey andrew-

i’ve been subscribed to your rss feed for a few months now. really enjoy reading your thought provoking articles, both here and on music think tank. just wanted to say i have been on last.fm for a few years now, but have not really taken advantage of it. in fact, i don’t think i have even signed in to my account in over a year! you inspired me to get re-involved in the service. i produce/manage a couple of artists, and i’m going to put their music up on the site as soon as possible…
