I won't be signing up unless last.fm is officially supported in Switzerland and I can get the app on my itouch. It will be interesting to see if their new business model works, but they won't be getting my spondoolees. Adios last.fm. Andy I’ve really enjoyed last.fm but my “free trail” is now up.

They tried ad-revenue based funding. For markets outside the UK, US and Germany it didn't work. If not subscriptions (at a VERY fair price IMO) what SHOULD their business model be? Audioscrobbler functionality, Gigs/Events, Groups, Biography, forums and news will all still be completely open and free for all markets.

API's are gone but streaming capabilities are unaltered which is a little odd. For 3 Euros/month it will be interesting to see how they end up. Whenever I subscribe to a new service I'm somewhat or completely unfamiliar with I check <a href="http://www.justaskgemalto.com/" rel="nofollow">this*</a> digital security site.

I don't feel like subsidizing the US market. Egregious strategy. They collect all this user data for months and months (for free) to be able to work out those advert deals and now it's pay up? That's cold. The irony of LAST will eventually be realized. As a Canadian, I’ll be dropping Last.fm like a puck at opening face off.

I use Rhapsody to Go at $15 a month, but I'm ticked off that they never released a Linux client. If last.fm can serve me in Linux I would go with them! Then I can stream on my new Dell mini 9 with ubuntu. If I can specifically request tracks and albums then this is great.
