Do you use Last.fm often?
I never really took to it personally, but know lots of people who have the app downloaded and think it's great.
Up to now, they have provided the option of paying three euroo a month which removes advertising and allows for playback flexibility.
Now though, if you live outside The UK , Germany or the USA that three quid fee will be mandatory.
That's right - you'lll have to pay no matter what.
“In the United States, United Kingdom and Germany, nothing will change," posted Last.fm co-founder Richard Jones on Last.fm's blog. “In all other countries, listening to Last.fm Radio will soon require a subscription of €3.00 per month" or the local equivalent. The Last.fm social website and all of its features will still be accessible for free in the rest of the world, but in the vast majority of the world's 200 or so countries, as Wired.com confirmed with a company spokeswoman, the €3.00 monthly fee will apply".

Ad rates in the three countries listed is strong enough for a free service to continue there.
