Only noticed this today.
Now gets it's music from youtube.
Only listened for an hour, but so far "my music mix" has contained more misses than hits.

I normally listen for a 2 or 3 hours every day.

Anyone liking it?

On the good side - at least it remembers I want HD videos unlike flippin youtube which always defaults to crap quality.

Had used it quite a bit in the last. Any better alternatives out there?

used it for the first time in ages yesterday evening....

have had it running for a few hours today as 6music was playing up. selection isn't quite as good as it was because of GEMA, Germany's music nazi thing. all song belonging to Sony and several other corps are not available on youtube here in Germany

Spotify has a radio section. I can't remember whether it comes off your hourly allowance in the free version though.

I keep seeing Pandora and Rdio mentioned, but I haven't used them.

I'm going to keep listening to last.fm for a bit yet though - give it a chance.

Spotify has a last.fm app available so you can use the all your listening stats from last.fm to feed into spotify radio playlists.

Well I've put in about 15 hours of listening since posting.
I have to say, it's not bad. Could be a lot worse.
There's the odd diff recording and the bandwidth is higher on many tracks because of having video, but it's also thrown up some nice surprises (live recordings especially).

Staying with it for now.

it annoys me that you now have a two-four second pause between songs.
