What is Last.fm?

Last.fm is an online community which which allows you to "scrobble" the songs you play, essentially tracking down the songs you play. Essentially eliminating the need for the "what are you listening to threads".

What can if offer me?

Not only can you track down all the songs you have listened to, but it also has a couple other benefits.

• Offers artists suggestions
• Offers a community with forums for musical discussion.
• Radio stations, which can play songs you have played or others people music
• Offer Signatures which will show the world what you are listening to

Sign me up, how can I get started?

By the way, FabianN created an OnRPG group/subforum on last.fm. This allows for some discussion, plus you can check who's listening to who on OnRPG. EDIT: Looks like FabianN deleted the group.

Join the new OnRPG Last.fm group at http://www.last.fm/group/OnRPG

Enjoy.
