What's your music player of choice?
allen:
I use ALSong for music. The deciding factor is the playlist because it's done RIGHT.

It does have very good play list management. It does not, however, support last.fm does it? -- The other qualm for me was that its primary differentiating feature (aside from playlists) is the lyrics browser. Unfortunately, thus far not a single song/artist I listen to is in the lyric database :P Be nice if one could configure it to use other lyric databases out there. But that's asubject for another thread :)

OK - It's very late on Sunday night... That means that I've got a few (or more than a few) beer in me and I'm not about to check on last.fm... But I will once I get back into the office! I'll post back - when I'm sober! ;)
As for the lyrics thing... I've been really suprised to find some really esoteric music that I listen to in there.
If you try to search, you might just find it in there. There are well over a million in there, so there's a chance.
That being said, there's a LOT of music that isn't in there too.

Oh... One thing that I forgot to mention is that you can get some free music here. Some of the lyrics are in there. e.g. Closer, All Along the Watch Tower, Study Your Life, and a few more.
Music is very subjective, so you may like it or may not. I like every thing from Slayer to Bach so I'm not in much of a position to say what's good.
allen:
last.fm isn't particularly important to me, but seemed a critical matter in regards to the original post in this thread. As the poster said, there aren't that many players that support it natively -- though might be something to consider. :)
The other day when I was playing with it, I'd tried most of the stuff I was listening to and wasn't finding any results. (Leonard Cohen, Johnette Napolitano (new album, didn't expect to find it), The Red Paintings, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds)
Edit: I like free music, definitely going to have to give them a listen

Kimo ROCKS!
I love his stuff!
But this is off topic... Yes - iTunes sucks! I only use it for podcasts (which it works for... usually...).
Edit: Correcting my drunk spelling errors. ;)
