Filed under: Audio , Web services Last.fm just made a huge change to its offerings, deciding to let partner services handle on-demand music streaming, while Last.fm focuses on the recommendation and discovery side of its business. It’s a big loss for users in the US, UK and Germany, who have been able to listen to plenty of full tracks via Last.fm for the past two years. So, why the switch? Last.fm says it’s because of the way people actually use the service: mostly, they get their tracks elsewhere and use Last to find out what to listen to next.
