A few weeks agone, Adrian used this space to introduce music application developers to the next generation of our Scrobbling APIsouth and ask the question "But does it scrobble?". Meanwhile, Stefan has been spotted at SXSW and around Terminal.HQ wearing this t-shirt:
Why the contempo fuss over our favourite neologism? Well, scrobbling forms the ground of i of our core missions: helping users make the most of their music listening beyond a diverseness of services and platforms by saving it all in 1 place, their Final.fm profile. We've been at this a while and have spent the last seven years working difficult on making it more useful to wield a Terminal.fm profile through features similar personalized music recommendations and concert listings, radio streams, a rich API, and unlike ways to share, reverberate, and prove off your own music taste too as that of your friends.
At present, on the eve of receiving our xl billionth scrobble, we're ready to start rolling out some changes that focus u.s. even more firmly on this mission. Nosotros think information technology's more relevant in 2010 than ever before.
The kickoff of these goes alive today! But before we fully integrate these new ideas, we're trying a few out in beta class on our track pages. Hither's a quick wait at what's new — for more detail and to leave feedback, cheque out this post on our forums.
Closing the loop with partner playlinks
The list of music players and devices that scrobble has been growing steadily since 2003, and we now have over 600 scrobbling partners. I of the coolest things to happen in online music over the final couple years is the emergence of "cloud" services, applications that make it easier than e'er before to play any yous can think of, whenever you want.
Every bit passionate, tech-savvy music fans, Last.fm users are amidst the first to adopt new music technologies. Accordingly, many of these new services are now adding — or take already added — scrobbling support. Our scrobbling data shows that, for some time at present, people have been using multiple music services and devices, then coming back to their Terminal.fm profiles to answer the question "what should I hear adjacent?" and to run across / show off all their listening united in one place.
Nosotros think this is keen. Today we're taking the first steps in "closing the loop" and nurturing this usage even further past adding links on our track pages to some of our favourite music services that scrobble.

Our beta launch partners for this integration are Spotify (in the UK, France, Espana, and most of Scandinavia), MOG (in the U.s.), and The Hype Machine (worldwide). We're too working on connecting our users to more great services presently, including We7 (UK), VEVO (Usa/Canada, and our showtime 3rd-party video scrobbling partner!), and others.
No two streaming services are alike; they all accept different user experiences, geographic restrictions, catalogues and specialisations. We're starting small today, but our vision is for Last.fm to efficiently connect whatsoever user to ALL of the relevant streaming options in their country for every runway we know virtually, equally well equally beingness able to personalise listening preferences Last.fm-wide.
Some of our partners
These changes likewise mean that nosotros are retiring our own on-demand track streaming, which we've run for the last ii years in the US, UK, and Frg. Consistent with how people have used Last.fm since the early days, engagement with features similar user profiles and personalised radio stations has remained much college than usage of on-demand playback. We feel strongly that nosotros can amend fulfill our core mission by instead connecting our users to services in the ecosystem that, different united states of america, focus primarily on a jukebox-in-the-sky streaming feel. Similarly, we'll no longer exist hosting music videos ourselves, instead integrating video from Youtube (now in higher quality!) and soon, VEVO.
We believe that this renewed focus on Last.fm as the definitive online habitation of your music taste and your base for music discovery – regardless of where you listen – volition help ameliorate not just our users' musical lives just the overall online ecosystem as well.
Making scrobbles piece of work harder
Different almost any other music service out there, we're built and curated entirely by you, the music listener. Because of scrobbling, Last.fm knows 40 billion different things about music and that noesis is growing every day. So as role of the track page beta we're trying out some new ways of representing that data, on both the global and personal levels.
We're merely getting started with this – at present nosotros need your feedback so that we tin can curl this and related functionality out across the rest of the Last.fm website and beyond.
We want to hear more from you lot – who you'd similar us to partner with, cool new services, information visualisation and feature ideas, and any other thoughts yous have most the changes. See you on the forums!

Update: To clarify, today's changes don't impact Last.fm radio stations at all, just single-rails playback on the website. Radio is i of our flagship music discovery features and has long been the most popular manner to stream music on Last.fm; nosotros'll keep improving information technology in hereafter. Play on!
