And I don't like the idea that I'm now apparently nothing but an '<A HREF="http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-cbs30may30,1,3380181.story?ctrack=1&cset=true" REL="nofollow">earlobe</A>' for CBS to advertise to. I've got plenty of ways of finding new music without CBS helping me along, thank you very much - and I never used last.fm for that anyway.<BR/><BR/>I'm not cutting off my nose to spite my face - last.fm was a nice thing, but I don't *need* it.patroclushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933476561340044351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607123.post-34998866087294924672007-05-30T16:13:00.000+01:002007-05-30T16:13:00.000+01:00I really don't understand why you have a problem w...I really don't understand why you have a problem with someone buying Last.fm. <BR/><BR/>I too think it is a super duper site and I shall keep using it until such point it doesn't serve my needs or something better comes along. I'm just not bothered that some company holds my listening tastes. Whats the worse that can happen that they inform me about new music I might like. Isn't that a good thing? Of course if they spam your inbox day in day out then maybe its time to move on but you don't know they will do that yet. Hmm I feel a post coming on my blog.<BR/><BR/>Anyway Patroclus I do hope you reconsider because it seems silly to 'cut your nose off to spite your face'.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901853618033139515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607123.post-63672803621363109812007-05-30T13:32:00.000+01:002007-05-30T13:32:00.000+01:00They might still have the data, but they can't har...They might still have the data, but they can't harass me with marketing offers, because I have GONE.<BR/><BR/>Gone to <A HREF="http://www.pandora.com/" REL="nofollow">Pandora</A>, probably.
