Meh, I didn't use that function anyway. I just like crunching the numbers.

don't scare me like that.

my iPod is dying slowly and painfully (so i can't plug it into my computer) so the only way i have to listen to music at work is to open my last.fm player thingy and turn on my radio station.

I would not be surprised if this was a precursor to them charging everyone for streaming music.

Is it because they can't find/don't want to bother finding enough advertisers for the other countries?
