[QUOTE="rtv, post: 396591, member: 12309"] No - there shouldn't be any changes regarding that. Although I am still curious what changes their open source client might receive. I assume that they'll just determine the country by DNS and then leave their severs handling the rest. Last.fm radio already evaluates whether you are subscriber or not. This is why I pay although I am from germany: - You can use your "own" personal radio and your own loved tracks - Your streams are priorized (no hickups during the rush hours) - You can use the discovery mode and will get better suggestions. In the end I really hope that this model will work out and not annoy too many users. Last.fm pays many artists and offers them more publicity than any small label could achieve. In addition they demonstrate that the [S]DRM mafia[/S]big labels are useless and a direct artist to listener platform can work. So after all I just remember that I bought at least one CD per month when I was still at school and didn't have that much money. Now that these 3 EUR (maybe pay in GBP :cool:) won't do any harm to me I think it's a true bargain. [/QUOTE]
