Today we’re announcing an upcoming change to the way Last.fm Radio works in some parts of the world. In the United States, United Kingdom and Germany, nothing will change.

In all other countries, listening to Last.fm Radio will soon require a subscription
of €3.00 per month. There will be a 30 track free trial, and we hope
this will convince people to subscribe and keep listening to the radio.
Everything else on Last.fm (scrobbling, recommendations, charts,
biographies, events, videos etc.) will remain free in all countries,
like it is now.

Since we streamed our first track from
Last.fm back in 2002, we have focused on playing the right songs to the
right people, compensating artists for playing their music, and being
the best music site on the web. We appreciate the support we get from
the 30 million people who use Last.fm every month—double the number of
people since this time last year. We work with over 280,000 labels and
artists, many of whom we pay directly, and have built up the largest
catalogue of any web radio platform: over 7 million tracks are
available on Last.fm Radio stations.

In order to keep providing the best radio service on the web, we need to ask our listeners from countries other than USA,
UK and Germany to subscribe for €3.00 per month. In return you’ll get
unlimited access to Last.fm Radio, and a promise that we’ll be hard at
work improving the service for years to come.
