Last.FM Exiting Radio Streaming Service

Last.fm is pulling the plug on its subscription radio streaming service. Starting 28 April, the popular music service will focus on applying its recommendation and tracking features to music from other sources, such as YouTube and Spotify.

Current listeners will still be able to use Last.fm features in selected third-party apps and services, where the actual music is piped in from other sources rather than Last.fm's own servers.

Having ended streaming from its own services, Last.fm says it will now focus on improving the tracking of your listening habits -- known as scrobbling -- and recommending new music.
