Not sure how many of you use audioscrobbler out there (now the last.fm player), but anyway, they had a loss of data last week, and I got a free upgrade to subscription service for a month. Cool, eh?


Hi,
For the last week we've been recovering from some server problems, and the site has been somewhat unreliable regarding data collection and browsing statistics.
We were very unlucky with multiple concurrent hardware failures last week, and unfortunately we have lost three weeks of tagging data for a minority of users (including yourself). This does not affect your song submissions, but if you have tagged songs in the last few weeks, you may have to re-tag them.

We apologise unreservedly, and by way of apology we are upgrading accounts for people that have been inconvenienced. Effective immediately, your account now has 'subscriber' privileges for the rest of 2005.
If you were already a subscriber, your subscription will be extended free of charge.

Features available to subscribers can be viewed here (http://www.last.fm/subscribe.php).

We've also just released some new features, read about them on the front page of the site.

Regards,
The Last.fm Team



Anyway, if any of your havn't checked it out, go to www.last.fm

There's an Xgen usergroup and everything.

It said it was a minority of users.

Ah.
With all my comp problems, I've never listened to MP3s locally, and Last.fm doesn't take internet radio tags.

What is that upgrade for? It's not for XGen Forums Bank is it?

Last.fm joja, not xgen.

I don't have a subscription there, just a basic account, so I guess this doesn't favor me. Meh, still I like the siggy thing.
