    What do you think?

    It'll take some getting used to. Seems good though.
    The artist charts aren't working yet.

    Strangly my number 1 artist has been reset to zero, which is a bit strange.

    I likes it :) Still pretty slow tbh.

    Just noticed something, you're now able to see all the artists you've ever listened to.

    Thats an excelent feature.

    Slow, but very slick looking


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,592 ✭✭✭Ro: maaan!


    Not too bad. Top 40 now though, instead of 50.

    Where's this "all artists" feature?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,630 ✭✭✭Einstein


    pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is audioscrobbler...i've seen it in plenty of users sigs...

    Plugin for most music players. Keeps a record of everthing you've played. Creates charts for you. All time most played artists/bands, weekly charts etc. It's cool. You get a pony.

    The Politics feature is awesome.

    Lot's more stats now too, can see all your weekly charts back to February. Nifty.

    Site is awfully slow.
    It's alright I'm looking forward to the audioscrobbler site being released though. Lastfm has always been a bit bloated for my liking.

    I can't find the artist and track list in profile editior any more which was a handy feature. Also with the emergence of the all artist list I'm after finding a lot of crap that wasn't played by me in my profile. Also stuff I bumped out of my top 50 that had been played by other users of this pc. Another thing I miss is the stats page, that showed the submission queues etc.

    The top albums chart is a nice feature as is being able to go back over your weekly charts. Menus overlapping when the page isnt maximised sucks though.

    I'm afraid Last.fm is AudioScrobbler now. Though I do agree Last.fm always did feel slow and bloated.
    The Audioscrobbler.com site will re-surface soon as a development platform,
    which will allow lots more exciting applications to be built around your music profile.
    There'll be webservices and rss feeds for everything imaginable, we promise :)
    Some cool things should come from that though, so it's not all bad.

    hmmm, i'm not too sure if i like it at all. I liked Audioscrobblers simplicity. Now there are ads everywhere and messy pages. Haven't checked out new features so hopefully they're are decent.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,421 ✭✭✭weemcd


    Meh i like it quite alot.

    Didnt see anything wrong with the old site tho, im not used to sites changing their format


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,116 ✭✭✭bennyx_o


    I like it. Seems to be quicker too (for me, anyway)


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,457 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    I love all the new features in the new site. The journal's cool, so are the recommend features.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    There were recommeneded features on lastfm before hand too, so that's not new.
    I guess I'll get used to it, I'm just having a problem finding things now.
    Also the neighbours thing is now worked off every artist in your list not the top 50 anymore which is crap. I've played so many different artists that my highest neighbour is about 20% and then the next is 11%. It worked so much better using only the top 50.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,592 ✭✭✭Ro: maaan!


    After using it for a few days I think I like it. Menus are kind of annoying when they don't show up propperly without a maximised screen. But good in every other way. Jimeatsmenu is my top neighbour.
