Remember Last.FM?

They certainly aren't a drammatic innovator, but they've managed to stay strong for more than a decade by slowly refining their core service. I've been using it since 2004, and have more than 100,000 scrobbles. What I want out of their product is a way to easily record and capture statistics about my listening habits across multiple devices and operating systems, and last.fm does that very well.

I agree that recommendations are limited, but to be honest I'm okay with relying on humans for that.

I still use and love last.fm. There's definitely a cult following out there if you know where to look.

Also, as per the lament of the author of this post, Soundcloud can totally scrobble: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/soundcloud-scrobbl...

I joined last.fm in 2006 and subscribed to their radio service for a while - but it always played the same few songs in each genre despite having much more than that on their service, which got old, so I moved to Spotify.

Now I use Google Music, which has a great radio feature and the ability to play anything specific I want also.

I use last.fm since 2009 and it seems like it's forgotten. The user experience is very sluggish.

So much possibilities and nothing done. Grooveshark proposes to recommend music based on your last.fm account but I don't think it does a very good job.
