I use Last.fm here in the uK. There are two subscription models. 1. Pay £3 for one month as and when you like, and 2. Pay £3 per month as a regular payment, costing £36 a year. I choose the former since I don't use Last.fm on a regular basis, only to help me re-discover an artist or discover

Prateek, Thank you. I purchased a Rotel two-channel preamp a couple of years ago, and it seems very accessible to me but I have not looked at their receivers. In general, though, it has seemed to me that two- channel equipment tends to be more accessible than those with higher numbers of

The Spotify desktop is inaccessible on the PC and I guess it is on Mac as well. However I'm a Spotify Premium user because it works nice with my Sonos system and on the iPhone. Some unlabeled buttons exist on the iPhone app but it's usable when you get used to it. You will also need to get to

Yep, that's the sort of information I'm looking for thanks! I was never interested in the Desktop apps for Spotify on Mac or Windows, I know the IOS App is quite accessible so may have a look at that. One final thing, is there any way to bypass the Facebook registration? I don't have a

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

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. On 06/06/12 15:47, Evan Reese
