i just downloaded the new last fm feature on Xbox live, and i am finding that the choices of songs and artists are perfect. Many artists that i knew of and many knew as well. 
 
Your opinions on the feature

I'm enjoying it so far.  To be honest, I had not heard of Last.fm before the MS announcement, but I am really enjoying the site on the PC as well.  
 
The only real improvement on the 360 I could see would be if it were possible to run it in the background.  I can see disabling it during online games to prevent lag, but I'd love to be able to run it behind some single player games.  (I know that I personally ran my own music streamed behind puzzle quest, and would enjoy doing somthing similar with other games that have weak soundtracks. )

I love Last.fm, I've been using the website for a few years now, it is really great for finding music that fits your tastes.
I've been part of the preview programme though, and haven't really been using it on the 360.  The ability to have it run in the background would definitely change that though.

I had the update for a while because of the preview program and out of the update I used last.fm the most. It's great to use because it scrobbles all the songs in my itunes library so I can listen to them all on my xbox but if I could choose I would take pandora over last.fm any day.

Does last.fm require subscribing? I use it to scrobble my listens, but not to listen to music. I used to do it when it was free though.

last.fm doesn't require a subscription to the actual site, but to use it on the 360 you must be an XBL Gold subscriber.

It's alright, although not really any different from using it on PC, what would have been really cool is if you could've used it in the media thing to listen to last.fm while playing games (i'm gonna fell very stupid if you can actually do that)

@Jasonofindy: That would be really cool. It can't take up that much bandwidth.

It's more fun than I thought it'd be, although I'm sure it's all stuff I could have done on the PC...  I've already discovered a few obscure songs that I love...

I've heard of Last FM before, but never used it. 
 
So far it's pretty cool and recommending a lot of artists I listen to.

What happens if I am playing a game on my PC yet want the musics?
