37 songs on my last.fm playlist are no longer available, including Devo's "C'mon," Dilba's "Miracles," and Jerry Harrison's "Man With a Gun." Disappointed.

I think it's Warner Bros. that pulled their licenses last week from Last.FM because they could get a better deal with MySpace Music. Very disappointing.

Hmm...Talking Heads' "Born Under Punches" and Madonna's "Like a Prayer" still played for me this morning. Interesting...
- Ontario Emperor
Hm. I must use last.fm in some oddball way; I've never played songs from the site. I just use iTunes, find last.fm interesting to view my listening habits.
- Phil Crissman
I'm probably the oddball. I've never installed any of last.fm's software. I just select items I like, add them to the playlist, and listen away.
- Ontario Emperor
I scrobble from iTunes, Pandora and I use the last.fm software to listen

I don't usually play songs on the site unless someone wants me to hear something i don't have and lst.fm has the whole song.

On May 17, 2009, the Dilba song came up in my last.fm. I'll re-check "C'mon" and "Man With a Gun."
- John E. Bredehoft
Neither "C'mon" nor "Man With a Gun" are available. But at least we have Dilba.
- John E. Bredehoft
They change periodically without logic. Also, check for variant names. Sometimes the (album version) or a subtitled track will be streamable.

Dude. http://listen.grooveshark.com/ (I have it in Fluid) with Autoplay is massively, MASSIVELY better than Pandora. Try it.

interesting interface, but it was not buffering the songs for me. Just sat there. I will have to check again later.

Yeah, I think they're definitely having some content distribution issues atm. Every third song won't buffer. But the recommendation engine seems top-notch.

I do like the ability to build a playlist. It is stuck at the moment though. Please pretty shiny thing... work...

Fail. Work blocks non-http traffic and http traffic that doesn't go over port 80. Looks like Grooveshark is trying to use one or the other to get the stream. Massive fail. Pandora FTW!

"Like I told you when we talked about this post, I love articles like this -- not because they show the "power of citizen journalism" or anything so trite, but because they give me some hope that there is a real point to wheel that we are all collectively spinning. You're absolutely right, Social Media didn't enable you and Dan to do all of those things that you did, but it did enable something almost as important -- catharsis. It gave you a vehicle to help cope with sounds like a horrendous travesty. If nothing else, there is value in that. Thanks for writing this Greg, it's an amazing example of what should really be driving all of this technology."

i have several of her cds. my favorite is No Borders Here, particularly Mimi on the Beach and Extra Executives. http://www.google.com/musicl... Saw her in NY in 1995 or 96 and she was great live. She did her Mary Had a Little Lamb. My sister and her husband say that, recently, she has grown a bit too odd and changed her style and they have abandoned her.
- edythe
when i say "a bit too odd," i mean too odd in a bad, pretentious way.

*nod* Much of her fan base agrees; when she changed her name, she changed alot of things about her music as well.

Copyright deal could toughen rules governing info on iPods, computers - http://www.canada.com/topics...

ben, cbgreenwood, Mark Trapp and 10 other people liked this
"The deal would create a international regulator that could turn border guards and other public security personnel into copyright police. The security officials would be charged with checking laptops, iPods and even cellular phones for content that "infringes" on copyright laws, such as ripped CDs and movies. The guards would also be responsible for determining what is infringing content and what is not. The agreement proposes any content that may have been copied from a DVD or digital video recorder would be open for scrutiny by officials - even if the content was copied legally. ... Anyone found with infringing content in their possession would be open to a fine. They may also have their device confiscated or destroyed, according to the four-page document."

How much tougher copyright controls have to become to make people stop buying copyrighted content due to unbearable hassles?
- 9000
@9000 no-no-no, you didn't get it ... this time it is all about make ANY player of ANY media a subject of warrant search, i.e. crime subject by default... you will be free of of your presumption of innocence once you take player or recorder in your hands... finding not-registered player or, God forbid, recorder in possession will be equal to finding stash of drugs in your house... got it now?

@silpol: omg. probably crossing US borders I'll need double truecrypt on all my user data and I'll not be carrying anything important anyway, but will rather download it after arrival via a properly encrypted link. another illustration of copyright as extortion :-\
- 9000
@9000: that's exactly what I will suspect to become reality when this law becomes official. We will all move all our content into the cloud and have nothing on our devices.
- Johannes Kleske
Yeah, having dealt with the American side on the Canadian border, I'd just leave my iPod home.
- Cyndy
@9000: Encrypting your data may not help. I've heard that having your data encrypted and refusing to decrypt it when crossing US border is the same as having your suitcase locked and refusing to handle the key. Much better choice would be to refrain from carrying any data at all.

Instead of building an ark, they've chosen to try and build a flood wall. It won't hold and they're losing time while they buggerise around with this legislation.
- Jonathan Nguyen
Actually, if you think about it, what is it that they REALLY want? Why would governments be so keen to search for some music files? Is it really about "Copyright?"
- Jonathan Nguyen
@aivanov: "double truecrypt" allows you to dutifully escrow the key for your truecrypt volume to let the officials see your email passwords, VPN keys, etc stored there, and deny that the free space on the truecrypt volume is actually an embedded truecrypt volume with all the warez you want to smuggle :) still, i see your point.

@Andrey - The issue on giving up encryption keys is still under debate. A federal judge from Vermont, Jerome Niedermeyer, ruled that it is protected by the fifth amendment. But the government is trying to contest that. See http://www.furl.net/item... for one article about it.
