Could be interesting in a few ways.
To find new music, to see what the "group' or 'listening pool' are in to.
I think I'll install it on my lap top and see who it is and how it works.
About Last.fm
Last.fm is the flagship product from the team that designed the Audioscrobbler system, a music engine based on a massive collection of Music Profiles. Each music profile belongs to one person, and describes their taste in music. Last.fm uses these music profiles to make personalized recommendations, match you up with people who like similar music, and generate custom radio stations for each person.
Getting Started
After picking a username and signing up, you would typically install an Audioscrobbler Plugin for your media player (iTunes, Winamp etc..) which sends the name of every song you play on your computer to Last.fm. Over time, this list of songs grows larger and larger - you can see your personal listening charts on your userpage. Last.fm automatically finds people with a similar taste, and generates music recommendations for you.
If you have a broadband internet connection, you should grab the Last.fm Player. This is a small application that plays you Last.fm radio - where each listener gets different songs, all picked automatically depending on your music taste.
There are dozens of other entertaining and useful aspects of Last.fm, but you'll have to sign up and explore them for yourself 🙂

The Radio Page: How do I get to hear music I like?
Last changed on Aug 4, 2005, 18:28
Last.fm's music categorisation is based on users and artists and not on âtraditionalâ musical genres.
To find some users to listen to, type in three artists or bands that you like to listen to in the stations selector and click 'Show me some stations'. You will be presented with a list of users matching the artists you entered. You can listen to their profile straight away by clicking on the 'Personal Radio' or 'Profile Radio' button.
What is 'Group Radio'?

Group Radio plays you music of the members of a group. It creates a radio program by selecting songs from all member's profiles. In order for Group Radio to work a group needs at least 10 members.
