I'm not that impressed by its ability to monitor my listening behaviour though...at least half of what I'm playing doesn't get registered. Or does it only work when you let the song play till the end? (I hardly ever listen to those last 1-2 minutes of dance singles which are usually just there for easy mixing)

― Siegbran (eofor), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 18:23 (9 years ago) Permalink

yeh you have to listen to at least 50% of the track for it to register

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 18:29 (9 years ago) Permalink

it also sometimes takes a while to update

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 18:30 (9 years ago) Permalink

it only registers stuff that has a non-null "Artist" field.

Anybody else using Last.FM? I think this is the best music realated thing I've discovered in years -- this is only slightly to do with it getting through the firewall at work!. I hope it continues to work

I'm now listening to Gareth's personal radio station. I have a feeling his currently listening habits are so outré that the Butthole Surfers will be the only thing last.fm have the licence to play.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 22 November 2004 17:32 (8 years ago) Permalink

last.fm is so exciting though - there's a surprising amount of stuff they've got for streaming, and you can basically just sit there and listen to someone else's records for a while, or a group of people's. I am looking forward to the ilxor station 'launching'.

The thing is, it's kind of weighted to albums that last.fm are able to stream, cause you can add those en masse, rather than having to actually listen to them millions of times. This doesn't account for Mort Garson, of course.

Ok why does the group have connections to the Dave Matthews Band?

― ledge (ledge), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 10:32 (8 years ago) Permalink

You get to choose what bands you want connections to when you set a group up, so I guessed as good as I could as to what the top bands would end up as. Adding Dave Matthews Band was just a joke.

However, seven of the bands I added in the connections do turn up in the top 50. I'll change the listing to whatever the top 20 or so is once the group's been set up for longer and more people have joined up.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 13:07 (8 years ago) Permalink

For some reason, it says I've only played 21 songs, even though I've played probably twice as many. (It's only counting the ones I played on Sunday and none of the ones I played on Monday.) Anyone know what's up with that? (The list of recently played tunes is accurate.)

― Sanjay McDougal (jaymc), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 14:01 (8 years ago) Permalink

It only updates yer profile every 5/10/15... songs or so, depending on how many are you've listened to already, and then only after you (or anyone) has requested your profile page. So if you check again in a little while it may have updated.

― ledge (ledge), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 14:07 (8 years ago) Permalink

Only thing I find disappointing is that the Windows iTunes plugin doesn't update from iPod plays although the Mac one does meaning my stats are going to be very unrepresentative. Don't listen much at home and it tends to be just on random when I do.

Well, Audioscrobbler links up to your Recently Played playlist in iTunes. Does your iPod "talk" to this when you hook it up to iTunes? I always thought it should.

― adam... (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 22:43 (8 years ago) Permalink

Only assume the Mac plugin does this because the FAQ for the Windows plugin says so, they may be mistaken I suppose.

― mms (mms), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 22:43 (8 years ago) Permalink

It doesn't actually mirror my Recently Played playlist at all. I know this because iTunes treats something as played if it's allowed to finish, even if one FFs though the whole track and drops it on at the last millisecond. Yesterday, wanting to speed up the process of adding stuff to my audioscrobbler page, I did this with loads of tracks, and was then disappointed to see that though they were in my Recently Played playlist, they never showed up on Audioscrobbler.

It's odd - cause it definitely says in the readme file or whatever it was that one needs to have the Recenty Played playlist there in iTunes for it to work. But in fact it seems to be just sampling what I'm playing at intervals of its own. Meaning that sometimes, I take a track off before it finishes but it still appears on Audioscrobbler (despite iTunes thinking I've not played it).

Maybe it works differently with OS X 10.3

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 22:48 (8 years ago) Permalink

I think you only have to play a third to a half of the track for it to appear not the whole thing. Certainly my tracks are showing up on my page before they have finished playing.

― mms (mms), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 22:59 (8 years ago) Permalink

It's half of the track, or four minutes, whichever comes first.

I listened to Modest Mouse recently, too! Just to see if it was as bad as I remember it being. Some songs were pretty okay -- "Float On" is good, even if I'm sick of it now; I kinda like "Ocean Breathes Salty" -- but it really loses the plot in the second half, right when that terrible Tom Waits shit and Dixieland horns start surfacing.

They now work by showing the number of group members who've played each track/artist that week, which stops individual menkos skewing the charts too much, and works well for a group of the size of ILM. It's a bit rubbish for smaller groups though, and I think they're planning to bring back the old style charts as an alternative.

CFrom
OK, we spent 8 hours at the datacenter today, we completely disassembled the rack and rebuilt it, which was quite fun. Lucifer is now finally back up to 8GB of RAM again (after the manufacturer managed to send us the wrong type of RAM twice), and the current profiles database now has two more disks which might speed things up a bit.
We did install another new profiles machine, however we almost immediately discovered that it had a faulty RAM stick in it (doesn't that sound familiar...). We have hopefully removed the correct pair of modules, and it's currently undergoing burn-in tests. If this is successful, we will be able to migrate some of the profiles off to it to improve speed. This will happen within a week or two.

Edit: we haven't the faintest idea what this will do to performance - it'll make it faster, but how much faster is yet to be seen. The big performance jump happens when we start using the new profiles database, but this will be in a week or two's time, when we've determined it's stable enough to put data on.

So I assume top artists still wont update but recent tracks will as normal.
Anyone know what happened to the recommendations page?

New stuff / Sit-rep
Nine Inch Nails storm the Audioscrobbler charts! Looks like their new album is popular :)

We've been tuning the submission system this weekend. It's alive again now, and will start catching up. New accounts will be available once it's caught up.

Slight update to artist pages; now you can see the subtle difference between songs that get played the most, and songs that get played by the most people.

Artist-relation data has been updated again, see the explore music menu point, or the big fat search box on the homepage.

Moderations - the mod system has been removed as we are replacing it with a super-duper new MusicBrainz oriented mod system that will kick some serious ass.

Also being worked on at the moment:
- "Tagging" (flickr/delicious-esque)
- Native software player for Last.fm radio
- Proper album stats for Audioscrobbler
- Musicbrainz goodness, so we can use advanced relationship data etc. (click here for an example)
- More hardware, faster everything, cure for cancer.

hmmm... I've only used it with winamp, but if can you open/click on the plug in .exe?(I'm assuming it's a standalone program, not a script (not on PC anyway) what do you get?

Maybe you need to put your details in there (username/password) before it can register your tunes at the other end?

I couldn't find any faq's on their website, so maybe theres a text file which explains some of this (there is on mac) about, is it a .zip file?

the mac iscrobbler is a standalond app that works in the background - set it to be a startup item (i.e. it runs when you log in)

you should get a little "note" menu item top right, click it to get a menu, and open the preferences. enter your accoutn name and password.

run activity monitor and see if the iScrobbler process is running. if it is then there's some display problem preventing the menu appearing - perhaps it's there but the font that has the note icon in it is not on your mac. if it isn't then there is something wrong with the iScrobbler app - i don't know perhaps you have tiger and it hasn't been updated for tiger??

seems to have speeded up a little, but I *hate* the way it uses a "here is all the info represented by shitty avatars" approach now.

looks like there isn't any way to delete your profile after all, and the "profile editor" doesn't work. I erased a bunch of artists to test it... still there weeks later. I can see how this 'tagging' thing might be useful (& expandable) but it seems like extra effort which for me is contrary to the idea of AS. And very much a tilt at appealing to Apple fans. I mean ID3 Tags + groups aren't already enough??

I dunno, this went from fun and mostly functional. To "really can't be bothered to use it anymore" with this overhaul. Even though it's far from a total write-off UI wise I think they have, at least partially, ballsed it up.

Everything just seems to take far, far longer to find that it used to. Even after getting familiar with it. And information that was previously on a single page (usefully)... now is separated! I love extra clicks! Were no lessons learnt from the AMG debacle??

I didn't know it could keep track of what was played on an ipod.

Yep. Apparently earlier versions of the plug-in didn't, but mine has worked for at least the last six months or so. There are a couple of problems - iPods apparently only count "played" or "not played," so if you listen to that Wonder Stuff track six times in a row on your iPod, it will only get scrobbled once. Also you have to be careful about synching it up: if you listen to your iPod, then listen on your computer and only at that point sync up, the plug-in "sees" the iPod's times as an error (because it's already submitted tracks listened to AFTER the iPod tracks). But basically, it works.

I'm glad to see people are still using this - about half of this thread seems to be people who have had problems and couldn't be arsed to fix them.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 23 June 2006 20:44 (6 years ago) Permalink

Album pics seemed to have appeared.

They hired someone, well, I don't know how long ago, who's been doing a lot of updating, primarily by linking in catalog data from Amazon. The album pics are the upside. The downside is that a lot of artists now show two separate versions of the same album (one acquired via musicbrainz, one via amazon), and about half of those albums now seem to have no tracks. Bugs the sh!t out of me, but I understand they're doing it to generate revenue, so people have more options to buy things with just one click.

If you haven't used Pandora recently, check it out - they did a big update this week, too. I wrote about some of it in my journalhere.

Pandora?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 23 June 2006 21:40 (6 years ago) Permalink

http://www.pandora.com, it's another "music discovery engine." It's been written about quite a bit in different places (including here on ILx) but the basic idea is that they have people identify characteristics in songs - say, "mixed acoustic/electric instrumentation" or "minor key melodies" -- and then based on a song or artist you give them, stream a series of songs with similar characteristics. Quite neat.

An entreprising programmer has set up a proxy at http://pandorafm.real-ity.com, which allows you to record what you listen to on Pandora onto your last.fm profile. I go through it usually.

― pleased to mitya (mitya), Friday, 23 June 2006 22:16 (6 years ago) Permalink

this is really cool. i suppose i may be somewhat insane for being concerned that the songs i play on pandora aren't being recorded on my profile, but this will make me feel a lot better about my work listening when i forget to bring my ipod in.

I'm not a technie, so I can't give a proper answer, other than to say that that's the way it used to work. But about a year ago, I guess, they changed over to the separate player module. There was a lot of grumbling, but from what I understand, it was a technical requirement for the site to continue to work (or grow).

I'm at a little under 50,000 tracks played, and there is certainly a problem with misleading overall charts - I haven't listened to most of the artists on my top 50 in months.

That said, I don't think I'll reset my charts anytime soon, as all it would take to solve the problem would be more short-term charts (3 month, maybe) taking the dominant place on the profile, pushing overall and top tracks lower (or even kicking top tracks altogether, it seems worthless). It's a user problem too, in my case; the more music I get, the less inclined I am to listen to the same albums over and over again, making it difficult for new bands to rise to the top of my charts no matter how much I like them.

That, and it might be nice to look back on as a kind of musical yearbook or something later on.

That's my experience too - the few few albums I ripped from CD are heavily over-represented.

Either I did something wrong or LastFM is completely screwed up. I guess it doesn't matter because it only seems to update my currently playing list about once a year.

Yeah, it's buggy for all I think. I make it a point to not play anything not tagged well, but it still seems to stop recording at random.

Sometimes if I check it a day or two later, a large stockpile of played songs will suddenly show up tough.

Social music site Last.fm has been bought by US media giant CBS Corporation for $280m (£140m), the largest-ever UK Web 2.0 acquisition.
The online network was founded in the UK five years ago and it now has more than 15 million active users.
It allows users to connect with other listeners with similar music tastes, to custom-build their own radio stations and to watch music video-clips.
Last.fm founding member Martin Stiksel said it was an "exciting opportunity".

Last.fm is one of the fastest growing online communities out there
CBS Corp
As part of the deal, Last.fm's managing team will remain in place and the site will maintain its own separate identity.
Mr Stiksel said: "This move will really support us to get every track ever recorded and every music video ever made onto Last.fm.
"With a strong partner like CBS, this is now within our reach."
Dot.com boom
CBS Corporation has business interests in TV, web and radio.
CBS radio is the largest radio group in the United States, with 179 stations in the top 50 markets covering news, rock, country and urban music.
The firm's president and CEO Leslie Moonves said: "Last.fm is one of the fastest growing online communities out there."
Music lover
The web has helped revolutionise listening to music
He said Last.fm's strength in building communities around music and syndicating content was "central to CBS".
He added: "Their demographics also play perfectly to CBS's goal to attract younger viewers and listeners across our businesses."
CBS is not the first major player to purchase up-and-coming websites for millions or even billions of dollars, prompting what some have called the second dot.com boom.
In 2005 Rupert Murdoch's News Corp snapped up social networking site MySpace for $580m (£290m). And last year, search engine Google paid $165bn (£82bn) for video site YouTube.
Mr Stiksel said Last.fm would retain an independent identity.
He said CBS was buying "great technology and a very vibrant, active community".
"They want to move from a content company to an audience company giving the audiences control and learning from this and that's why Last.fm was their choice," he added.
Mr Stiksel said he did not think that users would feel disappointed that a mainstream media firm had bought the site.
"When we said revolution we mean that - we put the users in charge. CBS gets this.
"They understand that consuming media is changing, the patterns are changing."
As part of the acquisition, the Last.fm management team, including founders Felix Miller, Martin Stiksel and Richard Jones, will continue to independently run the online network
Mr Stiksel said the deal proved that Web 2.0 companies did not have to be in the United States to succeed.
"Being in London has helped us; it's the best place to do things with music full stop. It's the place that leads the world."
The three founders will now be among the most successful - and potentially wealthy - Web 2.0 pioneers in the world.
Mr Stiksel said: "The success of the site is the most important thing. With a strong partner we can add the features we always dreamed about."

grimly: apparently pandora only works now if you come from a US IP address. I dont know, Ive only tried it once, I couldn't say for sure. I was worried last.fm would do the same, as well as scrobbling my stuff, I use the radios/tags heavily for listens of tracks I dont have. It has been a great way to find out what stuff is like which I then go out and BUY (are you listening record labels).

My scrobbler seems to have stopped scrobbling in the past few days. I downloaded a new version of iTunes -- could that be the reason?

Pandora broke my heart. When I get over the rejection, would I be advised to hook up with Last.fm?

― Lostandfound, Tuesday, 5 June 2007 05:12 (5 years ago) Permalink

last.fm is fantastic lost, yeah sign up, its free, tho you can pay if you want to make your own stations and things (I think you have to pay to play more than just yr loved tracks channel). All you need to then do is play and play all your music and after about 400 songs it starts to figure out who else you'd like, who your neighbours are and shows all that. You can add people like you would something like livejournal and see what yr friends are listening to.

I'm addicted to it. The streaming radio is extremely flaky for me at home, but I'm not sure if thats them or me, because at work it seems ok.

Fans of the Foo fighters, Kings of Leon or Natasha Bedingfield will soon be able to listen to their music through the social music site Last.fm.
The service, bought in May for $280m (£140m) by CBS Corporation, has signed a deal with the Sony BMG record label
...
The software also tracks what users play on their PC or MP3 player to make recommendations.
Thomas Hesse of Sony BMG said this was key in its decision to partner with the UK firm.
"The Last.fm streaming service will give our established artists a platform through which they can reach new audiences, and its unique recommendation system will provide our emerging artists with an important opportunity to build their fan base," he said.

I wont be subscribing to listen to their radio anymore if shite like that is going to appear in recommendation radio or indeed personal radio.

As of today, you can play full-length tracks and entire albums for free on the Last.fm website.
Something we’ve wanted for years—for people who visit Last.fm to be able to play any track for free—is now possible. With the support of the folks behind EMI, Sony BMG, Universal and Warner—and the artists they work with—plus thousands of independent artists and labels, we’ve made the biggest legal collection of music available to play online for free, the way we believe it should be.
Full-length tracks are now available in the US, UK, and Germany, and we’re hard at work broadening our coverage into other countries. During this initial public beta period, each track can be played up to 3 times for free before a notice appears telling you about our upcoming subscription service.
The soon-to-be announced subscription service will give you unlimited plays and some other useful things. We’re also working on bringing full-length tracks to the desktop client and beyond.

― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 23 January 2008 18:04 (5 years ago) Permalink

We’re publicly beta testing our new free listening service. You can listen to most tracks up to three times for free.
When the beta is over, we’ll offer a subscription package with unlimited access to a catalogue of music built on partnerships with Universal Music Group, Sony BMG, Warner, EMI and over 150,000 independent labels and artists.
We will continue to offer our existing Basic Subscription.

I can't see many people paying to stream rather than download but last fm do have established users who might do it because it's last fm and anything they stream will still be logged in their stats.
I'm guessing a lot of people may subscribe for 1 month to try it but how many will do that beyond is anyones guess.

― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 23 January 2008 18:38 (5 years ago) Permalink

i'm a subscriber anyway (as are you, herman) so i'll be interested to see what the deal is with my existing set-up ... but yeh, i think this is pretty big fucking news.

i was thinking about it on the way home from work: with the way tech is going (ie a move away from "your computer with all your stuff" towards "your client machines talking to your server"), some kind of streaming model for music makes a lot of sense. ie from "you should hear this record when you get a chance" > "listen to this on my iPod ... oh, fuck, i deleted it to make space for something else" > "here, hear it right now -- let's stream it to my 3D holographic iHelmet". we're a way off that just yet, but this is a very interesting move.

and jordan: i know fuck all about hype machine (although i'm about to rectify that, right enough) and youtube is a shit way to listen to music. the key here is not what we, the existing last.fm users, think: it's whether floods of new people will be attracted to the service because it's simple and straightforward and good. i'd like to think so. i shall watch with interest.

― grimly fiendish, Wednesday, 23 January 2008 21:29 (5 years ago) Permalink

i mean, the concept of "owning" music is a bit fucked anyway, no? i used to be so bloody proud of all my vinyl. i cherished it. if you'd told me that in 2008 i'd be sitting here with two hard disks full of music, none of which i can actually *hold*, i'd have wept. but now i'm here, i fucking love it. in the future: what does it matter whose hard disk the files are on, as long as i can listen to what i want, when i want to?

does this mean anything new for the radio stations and playlists and such?

This is pretty cool:

http://www.associativetrails.com/stuff/normalisefm/index.cfm

It ranks your top artists by how many minutes you have spent listening to them, rather than how many different tracks. Then it even tells you how your rankings have changed. So, for me, Stars of the Lid (looong tracks) bumped up ten spots, and Cassetteboy (many short tracks per album) dropped down 24 spots. Pretty cool.

why does last.fm never srobble RA podcasts?

ra podcasts are the only thing it won't scrobble

― jergïns, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 23:24 (5 years ago) Permalink

maybe it's the length of the mp3 crapping out either your media player or the scrobble plugin. i haven't noticed any problems but i wasn't really paying attention recently

Yeah, if you're in the ILXOR group, then the #1 song is just the song that the greatest number of ILXors have listened to that week. It usually takes at least 15, and sometimes as many as 30, different listeners to make #1.

1 month passes...

New look site can be viewed as a beta (subscribers only) at http://beta.last.fm/home

We've kept this to ourselves long enough. It's time for you to give us your feedback and constructive criticism. Help shape the next phase of development not only with your razor-sharp Last.fm savvy, but also as representatives for newcomers. Give your family and friends a peek too, and tell us what they think. There are a lot of changes here for everyone.
Important info & guidelines
1. Currently supported browsers: Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer 7.
2. Please check the known issues thread before submitting any bugs or problems.
3. Use the yellow beta feedback toolbar (at the top of most pages) for bug reports and feedback on individual pages. It's easier for us to track and we'll be able to resolve issues more quickly.
4. Help us help you; when using this forum, post screenshots, urls and whatever else helps fully explain your thoughts so we can get to the bottom of your problem straight away.
Read on if you're interested in some of the thinking behind the changes, otherwise get started at: beta.last.fm
What's this all about?
Three main concepts driving the UI and feature development for this next-generation Last.fm are: play music, share music, and add music. We've focused on making these three things easier for everyone to enjoy, even your mum. You've probably noticed the robust new player at the top of every page—hopefully no more digging around for play buttons and radio stations, and music pages are re-positioned for sharing that music with a friend, or saving it to your library.
What's the library all about? It's a way for you to see all the music in your profile. Dig through every artist, album and track you've ever played, save things there to check out later and categorise your music with tags. It's pretty fun looking at your friends' music now too. I can now see what's in Felix's (not-scrobbling-yet) vinyl collection, or what music my kid sister likes—even though she doesn't have her own computer or iPod. Your library is the home for all your music, whether you scrobble it or add it manually. It's also the basis for all of your personalised recommendations on Last.fm.
There's some other fun bits, like real-time charts, activity feeds and podcasts, but mostly what we've been working on is a fresh start, a new foundation for a Last.fm that can hold all our ideas and yours. If things look a little bare or basic in places, that's why ;-) we need your feedback before we build up the rest of the site and put on finishing touches.

Yep. You can change it to show some rolling last 7 days thing, but at the expense of your top artists.
I want both. The weekly publishing of the last weeks chart was the best thing about last fm!

Last fm now is less interested in the charts and more about social networking like myspace and facebook. Fuck that.

I will miss the weekly charts, but I quite like the idea of adding non-scrobblable music to your collection (though I suppose there are other sites for that and I don't use those). But what can you do with this info once you've taken the time to add it?

Slighty tempted to stump up the subscriber fee to have a poke at this, but considering I haven't even bothered to check my weekly charts for ages (and it used to be a matter of considerable sad ego-stroking every Monday to look at them and congratulate myself or something) it's probably not worth it.

― a passing spacecadet, Wednesday, 2 July 2008 14:44 (4 years ago) Permalink

You can change your top artist chart to a rolling 7 day one but it's not the same. I like the charts the way they were. They can change the look but they need to keep the principle the same.

― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 2 July 2008 14:47 (4 years ago) Permalink

hmm. having played with it a bit, i really like it. the charts thing doesn't matter so much, i think, if -- as others have said -- you set your top artists to the last seven days. in fact, that way you get a rolling one every day, which is way cooler :)

yes, that means you can't have an overall top artists thing -- but surely that's made up for by the library, which basically does the same job?

i'm quite taken with it, anyway. bring it on.

LastGraph3 is an experimental site trying to come up with ways to graph people's playlists. So far, they do have hotlinkable graphs that always update themselves. Here's mine

..however, it doesn't really show which artists I've been playing. It doesn't look like much at all, in fact. I think later the site will have some neat hotlinkable stuff. But in the meantime, here's a snapshot from March to July 2008 of my last.fm plays in a neat sunset colored water graphic chart:

Now, if they could hotlink THAT, regenerated every load, that would be awesome. Andrew G. who runs the LastGraph3 site, I think, is trying to work on this.

+The shoutbox is in completely the wrong place.
+Library? Yeah, whatever.
+The media player is an eyesore. Also, it only seems to work about 25% of the time.
+Charts! Charts! Charts! Aren't they SUPPOSED to be the primary function of the site? They are like an afterthought now.
+Why do all companies seem to be afraid of leaving functionality as basic as possible? Everyone wants to have gizmos and features, usually to the detriment of common sense and performance. That now applies to lastfm.

― poortheatre, Sunday, 20 July 2008 16:21 (4 years ago) Permalink

I didn't realize that the weekly charts got axed when I said that the redesign isn't SO bad on another thread... Yep, that sucks. Kind of the whole reason I check this site every week.

I do like the tabs for charts, tho.

Aside from that, the added scrolling to see your charts is unnecessary. That's a step back too.

Anyway, I'm still not convinced this is quite as bad as it's being made out to be. It's something of a step back, and yeah, not really needed. But hey, it isn't a total disaster. The site was always a little on the ugly/slow side, anyway.

Surely there have been much worse redesigns... I mean, allmusic redesign basically made that site completely unusable and it's been that way for years now!

Gallows are a five-piece discordant hardcore punk band from Watford, UK, just outside of London. Forming from the ashes of Winter in June, Forthesinners and My Dad Joe in early 2005 (and originally going by the handle of Last Fight For The Living Dead), they straight away went about their intention to write infectious, original and exciting hardcore punk music by mixing it with and “the riffery of Mastodon, the off-kilter tempo changes of JR Ewing, the rock n roll swagger of The Bronx and the dischordant noise of Swing Kids then wrap it up, sealed in a sweat and alcohol soaked Union Jack.”

i like scott walker but don't listen to him much - i tend to admire his work rather than love it. nb i've only heard his scary dystopic later albums, not the earlier stuffz

i mean it's not just MJB's chops i'm talking about, it's the amount of emotion she conveys - when u hear songs like 'not gon cry', 'i'm going down' or 'be without you', even if it's not your thing you can surely hear why people connect to them emotionally? and that's not even going into how she pretty much invented hip-hop-soul. i'm surprised you don't like her considering you like rufus and chaka khan - what did you think of her version of 'sweet thing' (which was one of the tracks that made MJB's name back in the day)

i'm not saying everyone has to like modern US pop - just that if you were to say you did but weren't including Janet in that you'd be crazy. singling Janet and Mary out in this regard just seemed odd (esp. over Whitney and Mariah imo).

Cant stand mariah but i liked some whitney back in the day. Wish she had laid off the ballads though.

Any ILXors listen to mainly hip hop? I'm looking to diversify...

how do those charts work? surely it can't be by plays

Yes indeed, if you're talking about charts on user's profiles.

Must stop using the word "indeed".

no i mean for the group. like for example kanye is leading with like 56 or something. that can't be plays...is that 56 members?

― k3vin k., Tuesday, 2 December 2008 17:25 (4 years ago) Permalink

I was wondering about that as well. I'm a member of the ILXor group, but I'm not sure my plays get scrobbled to the group charts automatically.

Why do ilxors listen to Radiohead so consistently?

― Ringtone Tycoon (The Reverend), Tuesday, 2 December 2008 22:23 (4 years ago) Permalink

most of them have pretty bad taste (the rest of the chart backs that up)
