Looking for Love… in a Last FM firefox add-on

Posted on | July 24, 2009 | No Comments

So, I use Spotify a lot while browsing in Firefox.  It’s great that Spotify can scrobbble listens to Last FM, an it’s great that Firefox can allow to control the browser by using Foxytunes.  But….

I am looking for a Firefox add-on that allows me to control the ‘Love Track’ function from within the browser.  Foxytunes would be amazing beyond belief it it added this feature, especially as all the other Last FM Firefox add-ons don’t offer this functionality.

So get in contact if you can help…

Meanwhile, check out a pretty massive track using Spotify:

Last FM - what is it, and why.

Posted on | October 9, 2008 | No Comments

Last FM is a social networking service that tracks the music you play from your computer and posts it your profile for you and others to see.

This allows your friends to see what kind of music you are enjoying at the moment, as well as what is your most played tracks and artists.  Friends that also have a Last FM can recommend music to you, and send you messages just like on Facebook or Myspace.

What’s cool with Last FM is that you can display customised charts on your own website, blog, Myspace/Facebook profile, so that others can see your music tastes without having to go to your Last FM profile.  You can see I have a couple of these over on the right there…

Last FM is also a great way to find new music, especially through looking at people’s profiles who have similar tastes to you, something that Last FM can arrange for you.

So without preaching Last FM too much, I’m gonna leave it at that and hope you go try it out if you haven’t already.  If you want to add me, my user name is wilyam
