Last.fm Radio to start charging for service, shut down in some countries in 2013

Lastfm Radio to start charging for service, shut down in some countries in 2013

Last.fm's internet-based radio goods have had a pretty good run, but, unfortunately, early next year the service will make some significant changes to its overall business structure that may not be for the best. For starters, the Last.fm Radio desktop client is set to go paid-only (as it is in other countries) here in the US, United Kingdom and Germany, while the outfit's online radio services will cease to exist elsewhere -- save for places such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Brazil. The aforementioned changes are going to take place starting January 15th, 2013, so, for those affected, there's still some time to prepare in case there's a plan to take your listening experience to a different place on the web.

Skube: The Last.fm & Spotify Radio

If you’re like me, you’ve probably got some tunes playing while you tackle your daily workload. Depending on if you use Last.fm or Spotify, the Skube might be an interesting way to share your music. It has a lot of retro design appeal, and the skewed cube look is pretty neat.

Skube was developed to stream online music, directly from the popular music services Spotify and Last.fm. The music player is supposed to facilitate the decision-making process of picking tracks. Skube has two modes: playlist and discovery. Playlist plays all the tracks on your Skube while discovery looks for similar tracks that will suit your taste. When different Skubes are connected together, they act like one player and shuffle through all playlists.

It’s currently been built into a fully-working prototype that uses an Arduino, Max/MSP and an XBee wireless network. It’s definitely a cool concept and I hope it gets launched into production soon.
