But oh, it is so much more.
Last.fm's coolest feature is called "scrobbling." Their free plugin tracks the music you play on your computer and, if you choose, the music you play on an MP3 player that you sync with your computer. Tag or love the songs you scrobble. The data, neatly tracked and charted, matches you up with "neighbors" who have similar taste in music--a good place to find new music.
The site offers personal radio stations according to artist or song, à la Pandora.com. Look up concerts, neatly organized by region and date--and record that you're attending for extra cool points. Search artists on the site, and you'll get not only a profile, but lots come up with full tracks that you can listen to--some with free downloads of their music. Make playlists, and send messages to other members. The Last.fm brain also offers your profile free downloads of music it thinks you might like, according to what you already listen to. And yes, you get to post a profile picture.
My profile name is Teganomen. Look me up.

Yay, last.fm! I'm glad you like to so much. I keep trying to get other people to join it but everyone gives the excuse that they're already on too many social networking sites to add another.
I like using the "I'm Attending" feature so that I don't forget to go to the concerts I want to go to, ha.
I meant to type "I'm glad you like IT so much" ha.
