so that's what happened to Last.fm

Slashdot | Last.fm To Start Charging International Users: as announced on their official blog. Announced at the end of March, it was shortly after this that my 30 song countdown "trial" initiated after using the service off and on since April 2004. So to my comrades in North America, Canada, and Germany who could not figure out what I'm talking about, this is it. €3 a month would return Last.fm's dubious playback features which rarely played the track or even the band I wanted, and music-matching inferior to Pandora.com's implementation. Now all I can use Last.fm for is to figure out how musically incompatible I am with each of you.
