Lost.fm

This is a post inspired by the demise of the Facebook app – discussed on Last.fm “Does this app really work?

——

Last.fm (http://www.last.fm) used to have a fully-functional Facebook app that allowed one to link one’s Last.fm account to a Facebook account. Depending upon one’s settings for the app, a link would be posted to the Facebook wall whenever one ‘loved’ a song from Last.fm player or smartphone app.

That was nice, but what was nicer was that every time one ‘loved’ a song, the artist was added to one’s Facebook’s ‘Arts and Entertainment’ section in the FB profile.

Alas no more.

The Last.fm app developers had the Facebook app located on their website here: http://apps.facebook.com/lastfmmusic but the app is kaput. Sadface.

I got that link above from Last.fm’s blog page at http://blog.last.fm/2007/05/31/lastfm-on-facebook which is where I originally found the app in the first place a couple of years ago.

How this looks when one’s manually editing the profile page:

The Last.fm app used to add new entries automagically.
