Need new music?

If that question sounds familiar, Last.fm can be the answer. Last.fm is a nice music recommendation service that uses The Scrobbler by which all music listened is added to user’s profile. Based on the tracks user has played with some media player, Last.fm helps user to find similar music.

Some features of Last.fm which I find useful:

- Neighbours: People listed with similar music taste, and possibility to see their top tracks and artists.
- Own profile and charts: Artists and tracks played.
- Music recommended for user by Last.fm
- Artist pages: The most popular tracks of some artist. It is especially useful with some new artist to try to listen some popular tracks first. Also it is interesting to see, what tracks of some artist the majority of the Last.fm users like most. On the artist page user can also look “other similar artists” to some artist.

There are many other useful features too, like events, tags, loved tracks, radio stations and other information on artists pages, but those features I listed earlier are the ones I use most. In general, Last.fm has offered for me what I have been looking for. I have used it during some years, and with that I have found a lot of new interesting artists and tracks similar to my music taste.
