This has taken me back. I used to have last.fm on all day when I was working at home. I moved to Spotify in 2014 (it turns out). I moved my loved tracks into a playlist (in 2014) and a 4500 song playlist somehow. Looking through the tracks most of the artists haven't released anything in the last few years. So its like a time caught in a bottle. Getting quite nostalgic listening through.
Last.fm was great - I wish I could work out why I left.
They had a huge redesign, which removed almost all social features, and those features did not return for years. That is when everybody left. The fuck up was bigger than current twitter fuckup. I was hooked on the service from the start, even was a paying customer until they stopped supporting my country, but eventually they became straight up user hostile.
