I do use last.fm however, you can access it in a web browser, which makes it simple.

I think that on demand internet radio as well as tv, is a bit of a misuse of the internet technically – it’s a bit greedy – lot’s of traffic. But I love it!

I no longer need to have any music files on my PC. Limitations for me are – online catalogues that will never be complete and ISP bandwidth capping.

I’m surrendering my listening habits for music. The record companies get a unique view into hyped bands, and trends. They also benefit from targeted advertising. Currently I’m happy with that arrangement. I just hope the stats aren’t abused.

Myspace and last.fm also provide a way for new bands to get their music out there. I can sample music to my hearts content. Far better than buying an overpriced album, where you end up thinking half of it sucks.

CDs changed the format of albums, as they allowed them to break from the time constraints of vinyl. On the web an Album could be 24hrs long if an artist had the energy.

It falls down to fair pricing.
