Microsoft Details Xbox 360's Last.fm Streaming
by Chris Faylor, Jul 01, 2009 10:20am PDTSeveral new details regarding the Xbox 360's forthcoming ability to stream music from internet radio service Last.fm have emerged via a Joystiq interview with Microsoft.
Xbox Live Gold members will be able to freely stream Last.fm tunes later this year, but those with free Xbox Live Silver accounts will still be able to listen in. Xbox Live general manager Christina DeRosa explained that Silver folk "will be able access what we're considering a trial period of three hours a month, which comes with video advertising."
While Xbox Live Gold members can stream all they want, DeRosa added that the service will still be "ad-supported" unless one purchases a "premium" Last.fm subscription, which also comes with
"more sophisticated personalization features, like Loved Tracks."
It's not known if Last.fm will be offering a specially priced or separate subscription for Xbox 360 owners--at present, the service offers optional subscriptions for $3 a month.

personally the last thing i turn on my console for is music, well, short of whatever was programmed into the game itself.
especially the 360, seems every time you turn the damn thing on you're playing russian roulette as to whether it'll melt, why stress it anymore?

I wasn't aware you could steam anything from radio stations? Have I missed out on some sort of awesome technology?

They'd also be stupid not to implement some sort of visible record of your account scrobbling so other friends can view your listening habits right on XBL, not on the last.fm website....
