What a pile of crap Last.FM is now. A few months back I could use it with no apparent drawbacks, but now I just discovered that they've limited the amount of times you can skip a track (blocking a song also counts as a skip) I think you now get 6 'skips'. You also can't use it on your iphone unless you pay.

Next I predict that the songs will be samples only, so 1 minute length or something silly.

Anyway I'm after something similar but without the above issues. Is there anything else like Last.FM? Seems to have all the classic house/dance music and songs you can't find on Youtube.

Ah well.

Hi

I use Grooveshark most of the time. Good for playing tracks by a specific artist.

However its radio station function seems pretty poor (keeps replaying artists that you have already marked as disliked).

All the best

Cheers guys,

I've been using Soundcloud but only for individual tracks, does this have a radio type function too?

Will give Grooveshark a look. Thumbs Up

Shoutcast add-on for winamp, or direct through shoutcast.com, is pretty decent.
