I wrote about Last.fm a while back and continue to hold this service up as a real standout for it’s ability to deliver a compelling service that stands apart from other streaming music services – this is what Real Networks should have been about. The one thing that was disappointing is that the Mac client (yes, you do have to download a client component) wasn’t that well done and crashed a lot… thankfully they have updated it and it works great.
Another option for listening to last.fm is an status bar application called Amua, which is released as open source.
