Last.fm uses an advanced program called audioscrobbler, this program builds a detailed profile of each user's musical taste by recording details of all the songs the user listens to. It does this by checking what music you are listening to on last.fm or by taking music from your audio devise and then identifying what music you listen to. Audioscrobbler then takes all the information it has of you and automatically finds out what you might like and then creates a music profile for you.
After you have registered users can create a custom Radio station with all their favorite music and share it with the world.
If you want to listen to music off the internet this site is for you! You can find new bands that are similar to bands you like and then say if you like them or not. If you looking for a new band or want to listen to the latest album last.fm will be able to find it and have it.
