Last.fm music becomes free
Now both individual tracks and entire albums from the huge Last.fm database will be available for free listening. Cooperation with major labels (Universal, Warner, EMI, Sony BMG), as well as the participation of thousands of independent studios and musicians make Last.fm the world's largest legal music collection.
While the tracks are available for listening through the site in the USA, England and Germany, but soon this opportunity will be extended to all countries. In addition, the corresponding features will be added to the desktop client.
Not without but
Each track can be listened to for free no more than three times (a month?), But for paid users there will be no restrictions.

Now for subscribers, the subscription fee is $ 3 per month and provides additional features, the benefits of which are doubtful for the majority of the site’s audience. Most likely, in the near future the cost of the subscription will change.
The social music revolution
Artists and labels will receive money every time someone listens to a track. Thus, the performers will receive more money than a popular track.
Last.fm is the first in the world to offer any artist, regardless of his fame and popularity, to declare himself to the whole world. If the business idea justifies itself, then it can lead to a revolution in the music world. Artists will receive money directly, and studio support will be needed only at the stage of recording music.
