Last.fm Abandons Radio Streaming Service to Focus on Scrobbling Music

last.fmLast.fm announced it is shuttering its music streaming services in order to focus on helping users build their music profile. The internet-based streaming radio offered an ad-free radio for subscribers ($3/€3/£3) who can now request refunds.

In announcement about the decision, Last.fm said it was forced to make the hard decision due to the changing nature of the music industry:

Over ten years, our goal has always been to allow people around the world to discover new music with as few limitations or restrictions as possible.
