katikatOn Jan. 15 2013, Last.fm is ending its global subscription service. From that point on, it will be available to the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and Germany only. Even before, it was available only as a paid service worldwide - but they are ditching that now too. Well, that's just great. What a wonderful Xmas gift, Last.fm! Just... go and screw a donkey.
So, any alternatives for a streaming radio, peeps? I like Sky.fm but their selection is rather small, when you listen to it the whole day long, you notice that the same songs come up pretty often. A good alternative but not a great one.
I like Musicovery because it allows you to not only stream your favorite musician's "radio" - meaning similar artists - it also lets you play music according to your mood, you just set it up and it chooses the songs for you. But... the stream cuts off from time to time. I guess it's because I have Ad-Block Plus installed and it cuts out the ads, thus it drops the whole stream. Once my Last.fm subscription runs out on Dec. 31, I will get a Musicovery paid account, I guess, just for a month or so to see how it works.
Any other alternatives? I need music only, no babbling mods because I stream it while working and I need to concentrate.
