So it can hoard quite a bit of bandwidth.

It needs to have albums on it before their general release or it's useless. I'll just pirate a leaked version and decide if it's worth the money that way.

I know they have something to do with music but that's about the limit of it. :P I’ve realised that I don’t have the slightest clue what this is… same goes for Last FM.

Last.Fm is a godsend on the 360 ( I barely use it for much else these days ) as I can have my last.fm playlists through my proper hi-fi setup in the living room rather than having to faff around connecting my lappy to it. I love Spotify as well ( I subscribe actually, because of the premium android app which is rather good ) but I use last.fm just as much because it throws music at me that I haven't heard before. I then follow that up on Spotify by listening to more of the specific artist's music that I liked on Last.fm. In some ways it's a perfect match. I really hope the rumour is true. Could well see the end of my CD and MP3 collection. :) @blerk – I suspect for a lot of people – like me – it’s convenience.

Can't imagine why I'd want it on my console though, much like Last.FM. I love Spotify. Can’t imagine why I’d want it on my console though, much like Last.FM.

Especially as Spotify can scrobble. The only thing would be if the 360 version would also support Last fm. If thats the case, there is no point in Last.fm for the 360.
