Last.fm is not handling the feedback well, IMHO

People have been asking for this sort of real-time functionality for years. Lots of users care about their own profiles, and the data contained in them.

I definitely appreciate the new real-time functionality. The data is the main, or perhaps only, reason why I use the site. I couldn't care less about the radio, playlists, or whatever. The new version of the site seems to improve access to the data that I want, so I'm generally pleased with the redesign.

I can barely believe that anyone can claim that the functionality of the site is better than before, or even nearly as good as.

Why is there no pause button? what? hang on. Basic functionality please. the volume control is tiny.

Well there has never been a pause button and sadly there never will be, because of license rules the staff have to deal with. I agree regarding the volume control. It is tiny and for a briefly moment I thought something was broken until I noticed the control and it was turned down.

I may have never really gotten use to the old site, but it takes me in general the same amount of clicks to get where I am going (based on my own use) as it did in the previous site. In other cases an additional click and perhaps up to three has been added. I think half a dozen is a mild exaggeration, but I do agree that a few functions that were readily available on the old site are now a little deeper into the site. I've yet to find personal problems with this. Other users will of course have other experiences.

all the additional clicking is going to cause me a lot of pain. (RSI)

also, the requirement to type when tagging is a nuisance. Wish they could do a mashup of our most frequently used tags as well as the most popular, then auto-suggestions

That'd do nicely, sir.

You just reminded me that the old tag system did have an option to click from your most popular tags... Quote another feature lost I guess. Damn. Stop pushing me over the fence Babs, I'm comfortable balancing on it :P

The clicks are just another example of subjective areas of hate for the redesign. I can certainly empathize with how additional clicks are going to cause certain people. But hell, we're building a friendship here Babs, I'd go to the mats for ya!

What gets me even more is that some of the new AJAX on the site is wrecking havoc on a gentleman here who uses a screen reader as he is blind. Last.fm Staff need to get to that ASAP.

MyLastBook.fm

I want my weekly charts back. RIGHT NOW.
And NO, I don't want to browse my 'weekly snapshots', especially since they haven't been updated since the 13th of July.
00:00 Every Sunday used to be my favourite time of the week.

I doubt I'll respond if I get any replies to this- IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVE A REPLY TRACKER.

I've said it before and I'll say it again- I'll be losing sleep over this shit, Fail.fm.

Well yeah, the weeklies are delayed, they mentioned that in known issues. That ain't unusual in any sense for last.fm to have delayed static chart generation. In the meantime the real time stuff is working a treat :D

You can get to your rss feed for the reply tracker in the meantime.

I know this isn't perfect, but maybe will help you lose a little less sleep in the meantime.

If I

let you sitting beside a pile of sh-rap during a week, you'd get used to it. You can't deny that.

I didn't like when the layout changed the first time, years ago, but I got used to it. In the end I even thought it was nice. But this new one, wth? I logged in on my Ipod Touch a few days ago and thought it was a special mobile version. I remember that at the time the "Bring back the old last.fm" group barely reached a thousand users after many weeks.

The new layout is really really utterly ugly, confusing and annoying. The player thingy on user profiles is horrible. Graphical features are completely disconnected, look at the home page: red, gray and blue, what a great match! What's the deal with those tabs and resulting empty space on the left side? you're wasting my screen space. "Painted" backgrounds are out since 1999, when everyone became a Photoshop user. Even the gradient backgrounds on some boxes are "solarized", a sign that someone there in the back doesn't know what they're doing. Build.last.fm looks like a school project, and where's the site's visual identity?

Come on, it was a good joke, now give us Last.fm back.

We're currently wallpapering some of our landing pages (like http://www.last.fm/music) for advertisers, which I don't think looks too bad, especially if you're not keen on our new white background ;)
Wait, wallpapering the pages? As in putting advertising images in the page background? Text over tiled moving images like some slackjawed moron's Geocities page from 1996? What in the world makes you think that that is a good idea?

I'm willing to sit and wait for Last.FM to unfuck itself after the recent disaster (though I'm sure as hell not subscribing). But if they pull something that blatantly retarded, I'm out.

WTF!!!!!!
seriously, last.fm. i only found this site a couple of months back and i loved how it was music, just music and more music and new music. it was so easy to find new music i could do it with my eye closed. i dont have a myspace or any equivalent because i dont want to talk to people i can talk to other places, i want to expand my music. the new layout is crap for several reasons, and theyre the same reasons everyone whos complained has for disliking this new layout.
1 wheres the reply?
2 wheres the 'paint it black?
3 why is the shoutbox so big?
4 what the hell is that flash music player doing on my 'home' page"
5 whats with the home page?
6 whats this library?
7 i CANT edit it?
8 WTF?
lastly,
9 CAN WE HAVE OUR OLD LAYOUT BACK NOW!?

it was a hell of alot more convenient and the majority of the really important people (duh! the users) know what they like best so give it back!

PLUG!!!
yes thats right.
didnt get it?
be curious, ask me
i'll happily tell you
but once you find the answer you might think you wasted your time
i promise there is a legit reason for it
*think barnicles and stripes*

1 wheres the reply?

Not avialable for now

2 wheres the 'paint it black?

Is on their to do list

3 why is the shoutbox so big?

Seeying the amount of communication there is it's ok at least to me

4 what the hell is that flash music player doing on my 'home' page"

To play songs?

5 whats with the home page?

Nothing is wrong, it actually is better then the old one for me

6 whats this library?

more or less your database of artists/songs

7 i CANT edit it?

Yes you can

8 WTF?

No idea but if you think saying stuff like that really doesn't improve communication between staff and users

lastly,
9 CAN WE HAVE OUR OLD LAYOUT BACK NOW!?

No you can't as has been explained several times by Russ

it was a hell of alot more convenient and the majority of the really important people (duh! the users) know what they like best so give it back!

People need to stop foaming and start thinking. Flaming the staff and last.fm only will get you ignored. Last.fm does listen to the comments they get but of course they can't give each user what they want.

Flaming the staff and last.fm only will get you ignored. Last.fm does listen to the comments they get but of course they can't give each user what they want. edit: You might want to check this thread: [url]http://www.last.fm/forum/21713/_/433934[/url] and this one [url]http://www.last.fm/forum/21713/_/434765[/url][/quote]

Last.fm used to be my favourite music site. I checked my "profile" every day. I loved the charts, the design, the recommendation system -- everything. Now I'm _forcing_ myself to visit the site every day -- and why? Because it's really damn ugly and hard to look at. It's not a matter of getting USED to the design -- it violates some very basic principles of web design. I mean, whose idea was it to make the entire page white with gray tables and other soft colors? The only distinct colours are the remaining reds at the top of the page, which don't really do much good since the navigation sucks to begin with. It used to be straightforward, concise and easy to look at. Now it gives me a migraine and it all just...blends together. Even the "recently played tracks" chart is a big blur -- there's no definition between the list of tracks, just black on white followed by a <p> drop... ugh. TERRIBLE design, last.fm -- and if there isn't an option to revert back to the old design soon, I won't be coming back. It's not a threat and I'm not assuming you really give a damn one way or another about one user, but I think you'll find many thousands of people like myself feel the same. The site's horrendous re-design is being discussed on external music-related sites, and the general consensus is that the new design is laughably poor and overzealous. You're not a social networking tool like Facebook, but at least Facebook's layout is fucking clear and easy to look at. Sickening, really, to see such a brilliant site turn into a big piece of amateurish shit.
