Last.fm Shutting Off 3rd-party Mobile Access
Free music streaming service Last.fm plans to disable third-party applications that stream its content to mobile devices. It also intends to start charging a low monthly fee for the service outside the US, UK and Germany, IntoMobile reports.
Apparently, developers have been using undocumented APIs to hook into Last.fm in order to set up a mobile stream. The company will be shutting down those APIs, and making available a “public, documented streaming API.” The new API will enable third-party clients, but will prevent mobile streaming.
