God damnit, another great site falls to corporate greed.

I'd rather have more consistent scrobbling than a bunch of useless shitty community features.

last.fm is great. I don't plan on ever paying for their services though.

It's only a few quid a month

Not sure how much I like the new layout though. There are some improvements but overall it's more cluttered and confusing.

It looks like facebook too...

Scrobbling works perfectly fine for me, maybe the program you're using just sucks?

I hate how all these sites needlessly throw away their quirks and uniqueness just to become a look-a-like Facebook. Have some identity!

Also, scrobbling works fine for me, but that was not true a year ago. I can see how Cocaine and others don't have consistent scrobbling as I have had hundreds of songs played go unscrobbled.

The official one? You're a turd, what I mean by consistent scrobbling is no more week delays on charts. I mean no more "spam protection" when you're not track spamming. I mean no delayed 'recent tracks' updates.

Meh, I guess. I'm in the Beta though, the redesign is pretty great if you ask me.

I haven't really experienced any of those issues either. I mean sure, sometime the
updates get delayed a little, but really, every site experiences it's hiccups. This Message Edited On 05.22.08

I dislike the new design.

It's really is too facebooke-y. I prefer it's current more serious look. Last.fm has always stood out from the outher social networks, cause I actually got some use out of it. Found out about bands and concerts. And whenever there's a leak just check the bands shoutbox, and there will be a link.

The new design is shitty and ugly.

Looks like pretty much everyone agrees that it's too facebook so they'll probably change it.

I think they should just keep it morealess the way it is now with just a few changes.
