    I've been little bit confused when I arrived here today ;-).

    I wanted to play my playlist and figured out that I can't because I am not subscriber. Well, if I can't have even one playlist, library will become handy...

    The player on page doesn't seem to work as expected, play and skip buttons are simple unclickable.

    I'm also missing in-page preview, when I click on a small play button it starts to load new page and then start music. Why it can't start play immediatelly like old buttons?
    It is pretty uncomfortable when I'm cleaning my library, click on play button to figure out what is hell this song and then I need to go back to my library and find right page, click again on artist (I mean that small number under photo) and then I can delete song and go again through this hell with next song...

    At the other side, there are some really good improvements like mentioned library or some little but useful things like small gear button, better recommanditions...

    Website still need some work, but then it'll be really useful!

    Why do I need 30 second previews of songs I already own? If it actually let me play music I might use it. Currently the flash player serves no function that I can see.

    And don't worry about all that open white space, I'm sure they have plans to fill it with intrusive ads.

  • Music Player

    What's going on wit the music player??? I doesen't work! I can not stop it and i can not skip the song!!!!

  • actually, UK users can already 'enjoy' seeing the white space being filled with advertisments ...

    i ♥ last.fm - the old one!

    Everything just seems so white and blinding, I'm so confused about where everything is.

  • I've gotten used to the new layout already. You'll hear no boo-hooing from me.

  • much to dislike.

    i find the new layout to be unattractive, too spread out, much less intuitive, and i also echo the "myspace"-esque comments. love love LOVEd the old layout and the one before that, but this new one is not really hitting those high notes for me, sadly. :(

    maybe i'll adjust, maybe i won't. i'll still keep scrobbling, definitely, but i can't really see myself enjoying the site as much as i used to.

  • I liked the old version

    ...mainly because everything was clumped in logical locations. All of your profile info was in one box, all of the recently played trackes weren't spread out and taking up the whole page... I'd love it if you could see all 15 recently played tracks above the fold instead of needing to scroll down...

    It'll take some getting used to.

  • 30 second songs in playlist?

    I have a songlist with 150 tunes in it and it works OK.
    I started a new songlist with 50 full length tunes in it but it only plays 30 second snippets. It has more than 15 different artists.
    If I am missing something?
    PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!

    unless i'm wrong most people us this to find new tunes...bands...music, to actually connect to the world about music.

    i don't us lastfm to see what we have been doing...i know what i've been listening to, i don't need stupidly large images of the bands smack dab in the middle nor do i want recommendations from 'lastfm' about what to listen to taking up so much real estate...this isn't amazon, as much as cbs will want it to be. the data lasfm get from all of us is valuable and i really get annoyed when companies make these stupid changes and just expect us to get used to it... especially ones that set themselves up to be different.

    the feature i most used...seeing what other friends were listening to has been given less focus that the shoutbox, (which by the way looks shit now)...it really does look like facebook which is not a complement.

    Instead of (or in addition to) the choice of red or black i propose:

    Paint it, Lite (the current site...light and nonthreatening and lots of space)

    Paint it, Dense (new site with denser information layout and more sophisticated architecture, for the power users)

    Please give users a choice between the new and old designs..

    New functionality is nice but why does a good design has to be changed?
    The new design has no identity and is bland as compared to the old one.
    The lay-out is also a step back in terms of the information you get on the profile page, more confusing..


    Exactly! Also it takes ages to load every page here plus I get a bunch of errors...

    You could also call it HEAVY instead of DENSE ... may sound better.

  • "What the hell is wrong with the site looking vaguely like Facebook? You're looking for an adjective, and that adjective is modern. Get off your high horse and move with the times. "


    Because all things new are better..? Yeah.. okay. This sucks.

  • Need to bring back indication of rank change in the weekly charts, and also bring back the little icons that used to show up as well. A plain text weekly bar chart is just kind of boring without the little details

    Also, does anybody know how to get the RSS feed for your recently listened tracks

  • Avatars no more dynamic

    Look on my avatar here, in last.fm, and look on it in TARTAK forum.

    I hope U understand what I mean :-)

    I like new last.fm style. I like it's look, but I can't say anything about functionality.

    Best regards

  • Bug?

    Before posting this post I create a new one. Post it. I could saw it inside topic. Then I edit it. Go back to my page to test player. And went back to this topic to inform about a BUG >8-]

    What I want to write :-)
    When I click on song in player on the top right it starts playing :-) I DON'T WANT IT :-)
    How can I stop it? Why button PLAY don't turn to state PAUSE?

  • ACTUALLY A BUG

    Few seconds ago I posted a post where I say that I can't saw my earlier post. After I post it I saw my previous post.
    Now I'm typing about it AND I CAN'T SAW MY POSTS!!!
    I saw it before I clicked on REPLY. After REPLY they disappear.

    User's are not the testers. Hire more testers ;-)

    Doesn't having the shoutbox all the way at the bottom completely miss the point of having a shoutbox?

    The new design is really terrible. Programming is much better. but design is.... something like SHIT

    Is this a feature?

    I cant skip tracks in radio. I have the latest flash plugin, I tried in Firefox and Explorer, but it does not seem to work, so I am starting to think that this is a feature...
    Is there anybody who can skip tracks?

    The new layout is awful!!! It's too chaotic and to see some of my fave options I have to click and scroll like mad. With the previous one everything was touched properly and I could see everything I was interested in straight ahead. Now...Why I can see only top 10 of the artists on the page and to see the others I have to click ans scroll...I liked the old comments' (shouts) place better.

    PLEASE, LET US CHOOSE BETWEEN THE OLD AND THE NEW LAYOUT!!!!!
