Listening to Last.fm
Last.fm can present music tracks according to several criteria. You may choose from the
following options:
'Your Library' - Plays all tracks scrobbled to your profi le, or tracks by artists you’ve added
to your library. This information can be edited on the Last.fm web site.
'Your Recommendations' - Plays tracks recommended to you based on your music profi le
and that of other listeners with similar tastes.
'Your Loved Tracks' - Plays tracks selected from those that you have previously rated as
‘Loved’, either when listening with your computer, or with the Love button on the radio.
'Your Neighbourhood' - Plays tracks from the libraries of people on Last.fm with similar
music taste to yours.
'Artist Radio' - Plays a selection of tracks by a specifi ed artist and other similar artists.
You choose an artist by entering their name or part of their name and then choose from
the search results.
'Tag Radio' - Plays a selection of tracks tagged with certain keywords. You pick an tag
word or genre by entering a word or phrase and then choose from the search results.
Note that it is advisable to be as exact as possible when entering tags or genres. For
example, enter BOLLYWOOD rather than BOLLY. Tags are user-generated and fed to
Last.fm via the scrobbling process, so there can sometimes be spurious tags connected
to only a few tracks, which may give an Insuffi cient Content error when searching.
'History' - This option lists the last tracks you have listened to, most recent tracks fi rst.
Note that this is a display-only option - you cannot select a track from the list and listen
to it again on demand.
