The ones about a specific topic are everywhhelping out good causes, to religions, finding the better you to music, dating, hobbiesreligions falls in the latter category.



So what is so special about last.fm ? That all depends. I think it is safe to say that about 90% of us likes to listen to music, which makes last.fm an interesting target to a lot of people. If you are like me, you already know what music you look for an like, but last.fm still gives you that little extra - it enables users to form groups with a radio station. And there is more :Just listen to your music with your computer's music player or your iPod and Last.fm will "scrobble" your playlists. This means that every song you listen to with Last.fm will become part of your music profile.


Your music profile is the key to the world of Last.fm. Once you've started scrobbling, you can:

• Create personal music charts automatically
• Find your musical soulmates
• Discover and explore new music
• Generate your own personal radio station
• See what your friends are listening to
