Scrobble your music tracks and share your tastes with friends and neighbors.
The Last.fm Desktop App automatically updates your profile with what you've been playing on your computer via native media players such as iTunes or Windows Media Player.Enhance your listening experience, stay up-to-date with what your friends are listening to, view your listening history and share it with your friends. The more we learn what you like, the better it gets.
Remarkably, the Ubuntu version blows this one away.

Pros
Well, it's a great alternative to the last.fm website if you have a slower computer that has trouble running the heavy, resource-intensive flash plugin. It's nice and pretty light weight and very easy to use.
Cons
It doesn't come with any of the bells and whistles that the last.fm website comes with. You won't see any slideshows, or have access to many of the social features of last.fm. Also, the user interface could use a bit of some sprucing up.
Summary
It's great if you want to stream last.fm radio and have it out of your way. Because it's a separate app, it won't interrupt your browser workflow. It's also great for older computers that might have trouble running Adobe Flash. Otherwise, It's a bit lacking in features, and has a pretty clunky user interface.
pleasant to use

Pros
its simple to use, you have access to your account.
Cons
i wish the interface was cleaner looking. its pretty bulky. i personally dont need huge play and stop buttons. having a mini mode would be nice, were you could click to expands if you wanted to see artist information and ect.
Summary
if you like last fm youll love this.

Pros
Not much pro anymore.A,s,a,you want to listen you are pressed to buy a membership.And you cannot listen to the songs for free anymore.
Cons
Because the above I have deleted last fm from my PC.
Summary
Used to listen for hours doing my computer work,however,since re-installing last fm on a new computer somehow the newer version had all those restriction in its program.
Always loved it,but more hasslefree music elsewhere.

daveguy76
Pros
listen to radio all day based on the bands you like
interface is simple to use
doesn't hog bandwidth or resources
Cons
auto start is near to impossible to disable, have managed to prevent it with everything but Itunes and even then it was a pain. If you dont diable it the program starts playing your last station when you start windows or a media player
Summary
excellent no hassle and respects the KISS principal
