True, but that doesn't mean some change just isn't good. In the case of last.fm, "that's not change we can believe in!"

I wish you could drag compartments around like you can on Facebook. Change schmange...I just want all the info where it was before. They can put bells and whistles on the design if they want, but I'm completely disoriented.

i want to know WHY THEY HAVE CHANGED MY ARTIST TOTALS.

erykah badu was No 2 and now she is No 4. not happy about that.

and all my top artists seem to have had anywhere from 50-100 extra plays added from...from where? where?

jeez last.fm, you can't just remove functionality in the name of PROGRESS. with the loss of the dashboard and the shoutbox being hidden away, are they trying to ruin any sense of it being a social thing?

what was the point in there being a beta when it seems that they've just ignored all of the comments that were made about it?

+The top banner is ridiculous (paintbrush effect? hello 1997!) Where'd the quick inbox link go?
+The lame substitution of the homepage as the new dashboard will not do. It's not even close.
+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.

Sad.

++++++++++++++++++++++ the playlist function don't work properly any more. things that are listed on the site as 30-second clips, which used to play in full in the playlist (and still play in the radio player), now only play as previews, and in alphabetical order when set to shuffle. good job.

Also, I just now noticed I had a new message in my inbox. It doesn't show anymore like it used to, not until you drop down the menu in the top right corner.
My last.fm experience has been butchered.

(not that I can play my playlist any more anyway, since I'm not a subscriber)

ah, my +++++++ problem up there isn't really one, just a bug, that's what non-subscriber playlists now do, while subscriber ones are the same. although I'm now glad that I never got around to compiling a playlist.

Even after checking back in periodically over the day, I'm still convinced the designers arranged the page layouts blindfolded.

otm all those things, plus I want the "Paint It Black" option back too.

i guess i don't care about any of this features. my biggest gripe is the paintbrush effect, otherwise what i bothered with before is where I can find it, plus feels more 'right-handed', the empire strikes back :)

The beta has been running since may but they haven't listened to the complaints about the player,weekly snapshot charts,paint it black etc

top tracks and top artists setup now with the tabs actually seems v good

but they should've made it like facebook where you can re-arrange/position elements to your own preference

Surely the less like facebook the better?

weekly snapshot is back but 2 clicks away instead of always being on the page with all your charts. Stupid.
Click on Top Artists then click on Browse By Weekly Snapshot.

Are they planning on fixing the play counts? Because it's lost a lot of my plays, for instance my #1, "Umbrella" at 42 plays, is completely missing now. LOL.

Normally i'd say they will probably be fixed next update but im not sure that happens now as it's meant to be a live chart?

Everything seems to be loading a lot faster now, perhaps more quickly than the old version. Maybe they've sorted out the server problems.

it's not bad if you go directly to your own page and avoid the home page.

wordpress does not support last.fm embedding, right?

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!

the worst thing about this is they'r still doing those dumb last.fm slogans at the bottom of the page

last.fm broke my fucking seizuregif!

but they should've made it like facebook where you can re-arrange/position elements to your own preference

I'm not that arsed about the redesign although I agree it's not an improvement, but I'd prefer if the site worked at all!

Working now
