F. why can't these sites reference/link ideas beyond the obvious?
Should I start my own site? Do these people not get it?

They play so safe, mostly staying in a time period, not realizing that we want to link the past to the present to expand.

I listen to great playlists by amateurs linking then old to the new in a seemless fashion.
What are these people doing? Give me some surprise, some link. Bore me more, please.

Yeah I've found the same thing lately. The layout is less a problem as is the quality of tagging and what it considers to be "related artists" lately. The lack of any reasonable way to customize what you listen to is incredibly frustrating.

I've been checking out a few options since Pandora is a no-go in Canada (though if you can try that out). I've heard imeem.com is the fastest growing site outside of Pandora and Last.fm and from what I read has already overtaking last.fm. You get total customization of your playlists, any length, any songs. It seems the song selection is a little less complete though. :(

Oh well. Here to CBS waking up soon. Not likely though, you know I would have payed the subscription to get functional playlist and station customization features.

I find that Last FM is very slow moving going from page to page. I don't like the fact that I will pick a song & then listen to it & it is a live crappy version, or they don't have it. Then there are songs in my library that I never picked from the artist.

@Ondrej: Someone said deezer.com is where they are going, but I am not sure how the site is beyond what I saw when I went to the link. You can try to check them out if you like.

Are there any better music sites? I also had a very long playlist, but now I cannot even play it, it only plays 30s per song. It made me really pissed off that I spent a lot of time creating the list, then they take it away and say that I need to pay if I want to play it. They should have said that in advance.

@Melanie: A lot of people are starting to find other music sites right now, but I am not sure if that will last long. Last.fm is a great site; it just seems like they are trying to make it a MySpace for music. Also, a lot of subscribers are probably not going to renew their subscriptions when they expire. I really hope Last.fm realizes this, unless they just don't care, and if that is the case, then it's pretty sad.

I agree! I can't find anything on that site. I am hoping that they make some even newer changes... and quick! I stopped using that site (for the moment, at least) because of that!
