Anybody using Anywhere.FM?

[RAV TUX]

I just started using the beta of Anywhere.FM:

http://www.anywhere.fm/

I was wondering if anybody else is using this, specifically in Linux.

I am testing the upload and one song has been preparing for an upload for a while now.

Is anybody using this? does the uploader work for you?

Looks like it is very similar to Last.FM (link in my sig), but the music playback quality seems slightly lower (could just be me). I'll still give it a shot.

Are you able to upload music?

I see no similarities besides in name to LastFM and Anywhere.FM but I may be mistaken can you load your whole music collection to LastFM and listen to it from any computer that you have a web browser installed on?

I don't think you can load your entire music collection directly into Last.FM (i.e. select all and click upload), but each song you listen to with a Last.FM enabled player gets added to your profile and, provided there are no licensing restrictions, you can then listen to them from any browser just by logging into your profile and creating a playlist. So essentially, once you have listened to every song you own, your entire library is available through Last.FM.

I remember using LastFM about 2 or 3 years ago, while it was nice I didn't like that you had to download the player.

I prefer purevolume instead, that has a web based player, and works the same as what you describe Last.FM

Last.FM has a web-based player nowadays.

I've tried it but it never works well.

Eh, fair enough. Anyways, if you're even remotely interested, the last.fm player has made great leaps and bounds and is now FAR FAR better than what's in the Feisty repos, the .deb file they have for download on the website is actually pretty great.

Err no, that's not how Last.FM works at all. Provided you only listen to well known, popular music, there is a CHANCE that you will be able to listen to that music on Last.FM from anywhere - but not if that artist / label hasn't uploaded the tracks to Last.FM, and hasn't only licensed the tracks to be used as a short 'preview'.

If you want to listen to the full tracks, you need to use the Last.FM player, pick a radio station, and hope that the song you're after will play soon - or just download the freely available full tracks which appear in your Dashboard after you've built up a profile.

Anywhere.FM allows you to upload your music collection so that you can listen to it from anywhere. It is not a music discovery service, like Last.FM.

If you listen to music that isn't widely available anyway, then there's a strong chance Last.FM will not even have a page about the artist, never mind a selection of tracks to listen to.
