Last.fm Redesigns Web Site

Last.fm just revised its Web site, giving Internet radio listeners a smoother interface and new features aimed at making it easier to find music, according to MediaPost.

The new features include letting users add artists and songs to their online libraries with one click, along with posting music recommendations for other listeners. Music charts in member profiles will also be updated immediately to reflect new song plays from its catalog of 5 million tracks, the report said.

Post-CBS acquisition, the company also released a Last.fm client for the iPhone, and they formed a partnership with Logitech to give listeners access to the service via their home music systems. “The site redesign is only the latest in a series of steps to build out the U.K.-based social music service since CBS acquired it for $280 million last year,” the report said. Last.fm also recently unveiled a royalty program for unsigned and independent artists.
