Last FM streams all music.

2008-01-23 by Justanothernimrod | 24 Comments
The agreement, launched today, sees the major record label's EMI, Sony BMG, Universal and Warner putting their entire rosters up as fair game for streaming, and better yet, the artist is paid for every play. Last FM released this statement earlier today;

The only catch is that an individual track can only be played 3 times before you have to subscribe to stream it again; but with so much to choose from it's going to be very hard to get frustrated with this. Essentially this also means virtually every album can be listened to three times in an easy-to-access website.

All the majors are having their artist only put 30 secs of a song on myspace.

me and a friend were literally just saying yesterday how amazing it will be when everyone switches over to Last FM. And then it happened!

like this is just amazing, SO MUCH new music has just opened up for people to actually have a real listen to and get into and hopefully eventually buy into.

so far i've checked out; Dylan, Meneguar, Smiths, and Earth recordsThis Message Edited On 01.23.08

This sounds a lot like Rhapsody.com, but more interactive and a much larger selection. I'm definitely going to have to sign up.
