Seems to undercut comments above like: " Remind me again what the record industry is needed for?", "Old music industry is losing ground.", "good. one more way that major music labels are losing their power and control over the music industry." ...and so on.CBS = major music label / old music industry / record industryLast.fm = CBS:. Last.fm = old music industry, etc.Just saying... seems like some of the shouting above has a bit of a hollow ring to it.Still, the RIAA can lick my old man balls.
I used to scrobble the play count in my ipod (nano 1st gen) with something like ¿isplogger?, until the default program started to scrobble them. That does't work on the iphone?
With a lot of cellphones. I believe Mercedes build a car in 1998 with 20 cell phones (split between two providers) in Germany so that you can get fast Internet in your car everywhere but not only was the car expensive but also the charges for the 20 phones every month.Today it is probably cheaper with the new technologies but in the USA you are still stuck to major cities for that or you are still are stuck to many slow speed cell phones which gets expensive again :)
This is proof that badwithcomputer benefits financially from getting 50,000+ clicks on last.fm from digg. Oh, the pictures of him at indoor parties with lights and sound systems was too. But who cares, right.

Probably the best site for music, I’m completely addicted to Last.FM! Though I have no idea where they get all the money from.
