Noticed this post recently, I haven't really kept track much of last.fm as of late, but it I happened to post about my scrobble.life website there (hope I didn't break any rules), anyway, the post was from the last.fm team: https://www.reddit.com/r/lastfm/comments/1u2ta8d/hey_all_lastfm_here/
The fun things that stood out to me, because it's something I've already implemented on scrobble.life without knowing there's demand for it or that last.fm may have removed them, from top comment:
Which we have per song, both regular discussion/comments on the song as a whole and timed snippets for a certain part of it:
This one was especially convenient for scrobble.life:
If our website/servers ever go down, anyone here on hive could easily create a tool to fetch all the scrobbles of a particular user since they're saved as custom.json's and immutable on chain forever.
Anyway, it's nice seeing that there is some demand on self-reliance popping up over the internet a little here and there. As we discussed in the Hive Discord recently, most ignore this until things go bad. It's like not wearing a seatbelt until the day you realize you really should have, or getting a car/life insurance, or a home security system, etc. When the servers shut down, you're left with nothing. Hive changes this for a very, very low price, and most of that price goes to witnesses and the blockchain, which is fine given how technology is evolving and we're seeing ssd's and hdd's grow expontentially in size.
Anyway, just thought I'd share a recent find. Tried sharing scrobble.life to some outsiders to test the newly implemented gmail login but only got 1 user who didn't even scrobble anything. :D
Oh well, slow and steady.
