The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Hey, who here is "elitemeat" from the SE++ group? I've got a lot of shared artists with you.

Holy god damn that design maker on the site takes forever to get used to. Then you finally get it how you want in the preview pane and oh hey it's 65 pixels larger once it's saved.
Probably will change around the color scheme or something but I'm done for tonight on this thing.

God it was so frustrating to have it be totally fit to my picture background in the preview - then save - then have it be like 130 pixels wider.
The problem could be fixed hugely if they would just let you preview it in the design maker with the different options - Recently Played, Top Artists, etc. If you would change it to the Top Artist option it would look exactly right but still sucks.
The refresh thing also was bugging the hell out of me last night. Today it seems to be working well enough though. The image likes to stay in your cache though but a quick F5 loads the new one and it's pretty close.
If you like Paramore just because that's fine and all
but fuck I hate it when people are like 'lol but shez cute'
so fucking what, it's generic as hell pop-punk
The singer is cute, but yeah I agree. Decent sound, nothing amazing.
Nearly 9 gigs of music to shuffle through, so some "decent/shitty" stuff comes up from time to time. I usually listen to stuff on shuffle, or entire albums multiple times. Usually if I'm depressed (like now) its shuffle. When I get a new album its time for like half a dozen listen (looking at you new Sigur Ros album)

Man I just love the gal's vocals. I had caught snippets of Misery Business on MTV when channel surfing but I've never liked the intro so I would always just move on.
Then I got the new Say Anything album though and she's on a couple tracks so I heard her voice finally - checked out Paramore and found a fair amount of stuff I like but really her voice and the not-terrible background music is what sets it apart for me.
That one song off their first major album though that turns into screamo at the end is fucking godawful.

Popular music gets something right every now and then. Paramore certainly isn't bad.
Whats your guy's stance of Sara bareilles?

Postin' in this because I really don't think we need two last.fm threads in two weeks.
Has anyone else gotten in on the beta?
This library thing is pretty dang nifty.

Beta?
They're beta testing a subscription-based radio where you can choose what songs to play.

Frankly I can't seem to find a page on here that does mention all the new features. I just got an e-mail a day or two ago from Last.FM about a beta test. I figured it was just a public thing but it's not seeming like it after all. The pages for artists are different looking and the players are tweaked but so far I haven't noticed anything major other than the Library feature, which is basically like a media player's Library feature in that you can add music to it whenever you want. You don't have to scrobble a song to make it show up in your profile, since you can just go find that song on the site and add it to your Library.
I love this feature since now I can go through and add some of my favorite tracks that I just haven't scrobbled yet and get suggestions and recommendations on that.

Apparently once the site actually goes live with the new service the adding and deleting of artists will actually effect your scrobble-count.
Also, having read around the forums for the beta, a lot of the changes are indeed layout based, making it more facebook-like almost according to some users.
The shoutbox, instead of it's tiny space on the far right, is now 1/3rds of the screen wide and underneath the artist's songs.
I listened to the radio on the site as well for a little bit, and the player there was different I'm pretty sure, but it wasn't anything revolutionary by any means and I still prefer the standalone program.

You mean like scrobble stuff from your Zune? Probably not, but it doesn't scrobble from my CD player and I make do, especially with this library feature that will be rolled out here soon enough.

You don’t share any artists in common.
High five for sound!
This is a phat beat:

Daaang that'd be me.
Edit: also, the SE++ weekly chart is in. Muse, Nine Inch Nails, Queen, Radiohead and The Decemberists all tie for first place.
In other words - it'll suck. Bad.

After spending hours figuring out the things quirks it was satisfying as hell to get mine done just how I wanted it originally.
also it doesn't seem to update very often
Yeah, the static picture ones don't update very often. The newer flash ones update real quick, but those can't be embedded on this board.

Also total high-5 Ronzo for Paramore.

then it gets more varied after that, but includes some albums I never listen to anymore and I don't understand why they're there.
I really dont like the new layout. But I do like the radio dealio.
