But they could see what people using their UE Smart Radio in Sweden is most interested in listening to. What's more interesting is services like: - Most popular artists this month - Most popular new album this month - Top listened songs in Sweden this month - Your favorite songs - Top listened songs in Sweden which you have access to either in your local library or through streaming services you subscribe to - Songs you haven't listen to for a long time - Other users in your region which like similar songs as you Basically what LastFM and similar sites provide and also similar to what TrackStat provides but with the possibility to both look at your own statistics and statistics for people in your region. The problem is that at the moment it sounds like Logitech don't plan to do anything like this, they just plan to scrobble to LastFM and rely on LastFM to offer any features, which results in that the statistics is restricted to LastFM subcribers and countries where LastFM streaming is available. The result is that it doesn't become any better than what we currently have and then it's not justified to collect statistics like this. If they want me to send them statistics I prefer that they use it to offer interesting features and not just pass it to third parties. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96188 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
