Last.FM moving to a subscription-based service?

Some of you may be a nerd like me and have noticed the Last.fm widget on the right of my blog. It shows what I'm listening to and scrobbles the music to my profile, where it breaks down the most frequently listened to tracks and offers recommendations. Currently, they offer 30 second sound blips as well. That's all about to change. As per Techcrunch's coverage, Last.fm has launched full streaming audio and while this doesn't work on unregistered [leaked or unsigned] music, it DOES work for many obscure artists. Great resource. Get on it! More information:
