Hi,
I'm not talking about the ability to play music from within the player, but
merely to scrobble i.e. send data about what you're listening to on winamp
back to the last.fm server. For that to work, the tracks have to be added
to winamp's library, but don't have to be played through the library.
The external players for last.fm will only work for subscribers. if you are
one, try speakon. Google something like speakon last.fm or something.
Read the manual before using it. The author created this suit of
applications with his personal use in mind,and he likes using it, lying in
bed, with a numbpad.

I've never gotten it to work with winamp, just use flash, but I haven't
tried for 3 or so years. I'll have to give it another wirl.

Hi,
There's multi tag radio and myulti artist radio. In both situations, pick
upto either 3 tags, or 3 artists of any style, and it will create a
station.
I use the old winamp scrobbler and scrobble stuff to last.fm, so it has a
good idea of my musical tastes. After a few songs, you can have it play
your recommended station.
If you'e using firefox, there are shortcut keys for next song, bann song,
love song, pause, and resume. I've never gotten these keys to work in
internet explorer.
If one makes different friends, one can listen to a single friend's
station,
or reciently played tracks by all friends.
The bad news is, no way to change the volume to my knowledge in the web
site. The only links I've found are mute, or full volume. I've been
using
last.fm for around 3 or so years now.

Yeh, that agrees with my experience with last.fm. If I want to listen to
some classic rock, I might create a station for Queen, and I'll hear
Queen plus music from related bands. I also find that last.fm seems to
do a pretty good job of picking related artists.

Hmmm, have you tested whether it actually only plays music from one
specific band when you click on that band? I did a search for a
psychedelic trance artist that I like a lot, and when I clicked on that
artist, it came back with what it calls the name of that artist radio,
where it will play that artist and similar artists. It actually gave me
a list of those similar artists that it would play, and I tried it out.
It did not play just stuff from the original artist I clicked on. I
think it did a very good job of picking similar artists to the one I
like. (Now if I could only find how to adjust the volume.)
If you haven't, try doing a search for a specific metal band and see
what happens. I think you should have a similar experience to what I
had. If not, then I'll se what happens when I try it.

Hello,
I'm exploring last.fm internet radio. I would like to pick a heavy
metal channel on last.fm that would automatically play mix of heavy
metal by diff bands for me. I have arrived at last.fm's page of
heavy metal. URL is below.
http://www.last.fm/music/+tag/heavy+metal
But on this page I see is the option to click on the names of specific
individual metal bands and play the music of only that band. this is
not what I'm looking for as I state above. Also on this page are bunch
of diff genres of metal that one click on like, power metal, speed
metal etc. if you click on any of these it just takes you to yet
another page where really the only option I can see is to select and
click a specific band and then last.fm plays music from just that
band.
How do I get last.fm to play me metal with songs from diff bands?
