If you use Last.fm...

Do you hate how some songs just have a 30 second preview?
Do you have a song stuck in your head, and you're destined to scour the nets to find a free download and then end up downloading some trojan that ends up taking your credit card numbers and gives them to Ignazio in Brazil or his co-developer Vladimir staking out his hometown Moscow. Meanwhile you're still looking from that song and if you're lucky enough to finally find it, it's already too late, because Ignazio and Vladimir have already taken your money and they are going to use it to buy tickets to fly to India and get married. So now you get to feel bad for yourself but at least you let two people find true love. They live happily ever after, by the way.
Or you end up just not finding the song.

This could have all been avoided and the Ignazio x Vladimir coupling would have been delayed if only you had used this really cool extension that integrates itself right into Last.fm, and puts a little blue play button next to any track or artist link instance. You press it, and the in-browser player plays it!
It's like magic!
Except it is magic.

Next version is sure to have an automatic dishwasher/bedmaker combo too, I'm sure of it.

For the DOWN TO EARTH:

i found this thing last night, i thought it would be lame seeing as the relatively obscure stuff i listen to is usually never supported by this. except for the /really/ unseen songs, it played them all. so you can be assured that you mainstream connoisseurs will have your tunes all within a click away. in any case, you need chrome, that's really the only requirement. as far as having a last.fm account, you just need that for scrobbling. you don't need a last.fm to listen to the music.

linkage:

MEET YOUR MAKER



also no whining about chrome please, it's a wonderful browser that doesn't take up all four of your memory cards and is pretty fast. the only complaint coming from me is that its javascript engine is a tad on the unstable side. granted it only crashes when i use chrome on a mac... but /that/ can't have anything to do with it. also it conforms to aero. and also it has this extension.

i'm curious as to why you'd make an account specifically to shoot this down.
ironically, this extension already has an option to use grooveshark, so you've failed.

No I just made an account then shot it down. Not for this purpose in the least.

Do you guys not read the thread title? This is for those who use Last.fm, and not the other alternatives. Grooveshark doesn't have scrobbling capabilities and Spotify don't work in the US (yet?).

I like your post more than the extension, which I find mostly unusable because I have all of the music I've ever been in the mood to listen to, or I just listen to last.fm radio or real radio or CBC Jazz.

last.fm is far superior to grooveshark. Grooveshark is better in exactly one facet: the cute little hammerhead that fills up while the page loads.

I'm torn between just typing "Done!" or actually logging into the AdminCP.

I'm being mostly sardonic, inciting scathing rhetoric at every turn on the sad state of the community, or something. Or maybe I'm just being a dickbag. I dunno which anymore. I'm mostly just bored these days. That up there was sarcasm, though. I'm sure he'll fit in here nicely.

last.fm doesn't work in every country. grooveshark let's you listen to whatever you want.

Sweet, I don't care about scrobbling anymore because last.fm doesn't scrobble Zune. I think I'll switch to grooveshark.

Deadly-vu! I had no idea that was even possible. Last.fm has apps for both the iPhone and Android phones.
