Description:

Object to Last.fm's re-design and functionality, and want the old ones back, at least as an option? Join us and make your opinion heard!

Our protests, voiced here and on support forums, have mattered, and will continue to matter when we stick together and make our concerns and requests strongly heard.

Latest:
10 June Last.fm founders quit
24 March Last.fm charges for radio

Find the feel of old last.fm here: Libre.fm | lastfm.zage.org.uk

Things we demanded and brought back: paint it black; reply tracker; neighbors; country pages (e.g.); direct inbox link; top 50 artists/songs; paste your taste; gif support (hopefully there will be more..)
Things we would like to have back: compact shoutbox on top/right; weekly chart on profile page; weekly neighbours; what neighbors are listening to (in other words, bring back the OLD SWEET DASHBOARD, or a reincarnation of sorts!); album collage on now listening (or other neater, more aesthetic options); tag clouds on artist pages; options to modify/hide/remove library/recent activity/flash player/etc; better flash player (like..the old one) and less unnecessary page redirects; better recommendation (instead of the very suspiciously mainstream-ish or generic stuff pushed to us now); forum search; old favicon and logo; color schemes that don't burn the retinas off everybody; inviting friends to last.fm; recommendations from friends' page and groups page; accurate taste-o-meter and neighbourhood...
And then there are features that even the old last.fm did not have and are much needed and/or long overdue: merge/distinguish between artists under same names (update: the new auto-correction function seems to be answering this, though not perfect); correct scrobble count; better connection speed for flash player and radio; better moderation/report abuse system;...

The CD album is manufactured in an extraordinary book style, with finest paper and lots of artificially made black and white photographs. Best thing, of you need a special christmas gift;-) Cheers and all the best to you Stephan

have anyone noticed how the track removing option works? I clicked it accidentaly (it's just below 'add to playlist') and it removed ALL the plays of that track! just like I've never listened to it... that is quite weird for me :-/ [not to mention, my account is now about 300 plays of 'Radio Protector' short ): ]

Is there an actual function that can send you a message whenever an artist that is in your library has a new album out?

Pavskies you idiot, think for a moment and realize that people get banned. Stop adding to the brainless American stereotype. At least the new mods don't ban you for hating on artists in shoutboxes.

I remember the anticipation of seeing what you'd listened to in the last week. The instant updates provide no gratification at all D:
