Over the course of the free trial, I've found that the quality of the
last.fm streams is very poor, even compared to Rhapsody which streams
at 192k. It's a handy radio station but I'd never pay for this service
on my main rig.

While I am currently enjoying my free 3 months as a subscriber I think
it caused my squeeze devices to stop scrobbling when they changed my

I occasionally listen to Last.FM in order to hear some new music that I
might want to buy, so I'm using it as a radio. As others have noted,
it's different to a service like Spotify or Napster that lets you
choose exactly what you listen to, and therefore the radio comparison
is far more valid.

We want to share with you an important update about our radio service:
From February 15 you will need to be a subscriber to listen to Last.fm
Radio stations on devices, including your Logitech SqueezeNetwork
player and Last.fm Android app.
No other features are affected by this change.
That bites. :(
Is this universal for all free Last.fm accounts? Or is this for EU/UK
accounts only?
It's been a great free lunch for years, I suppose it is time I go on a
diet. ;)

Oh well. Don't use it that much anyway as I have a huge library, but I
do see how others will dearly miss this. It was handy to listen to new
music to decide whether to make a purchase though. One less way of

The disappointment over this news is probably derived from the
expectation by a big percentage of the listening public that all music
