Last.fm announces subscription service
January 23rd, 2008
Last.fm lets you choose an artist or tag and play music in a streamed fashion just like a radio station would only you have a large choice of what to play from since you can start with any artist or tag you like.
Today they announced that from the website you can play full-length tracks of your choosing a few times and after that you can pay for a subscription. Another subscription service but this one also offers independent artists a chance to share their music and get paid for it also. Here is the last.fm blog post.
As usual with legal agreements with the big labels, this hasn’t rolled out in most of the world yet.. And if it’s anything like the Apple iTunes movie sales I won’t be expecting it in Canada sometime soon.
