No? Why not? If you are unfamiliar with the greatness of Audioscrobbler and Last.FM, consider this a public service announcement.
Audioscrobbler is essentially a plug-in for your media player of choice that records every song you play to a database. This in itself is pretty cool. You can find musical neighbors with your tastes and similar artists to those you already like (as an aside, it worries me a little when I have quite a few 15 year old girls as musical neighbors).
Then Last.FM takes your Audioscrobbler profile and makes dynamic radio stations for you. This has saved me many a day in cubicle world when I have forgotten my iPod. If you pay a little money, you can listen to music from your profile, or for free you can listen to your "profile radio," which is music from people in your musical neighborhood. I like this feature more, since I get to hear new stuff. The best part is, Last.fm just released a dedicated audio player, so now I don't have to keep the file open in my media player as well as keeping a browser window open to see what's playing. It is currently a .1 release, but I've had no problems with it so far. I really love it.
Good review. I joined and my id is satishtalim

i'm going to have to turn some of my friends onto this.
