The signup process is fantastic. I had zero trouble whatsoever completing the registration and installing the web & desktop clients. Streamlined = good stuff.

I can't tell you how pleased I was when I clicked the Facebook Connect button and didn't see a request for permission to post to my wall. Thumbs up for not needing that.

This seems pretty cool, but I use the Pandora desktop client (paid for Pandora One.. hated the ads) or foobar2000 as my player and neither of those are supported :(

I haven't used Last.fm in years and this is very appealing, but Like.fm just doesn't offer a way to track what I listen to right now.

Fortunately, Like.fm has almost the same scrobbling API as Last.fm, which makes it very easy to port existing plugins.

Chris (Like.fm's creator) was able to help me modify a python plugin for Exaile rather quickly to support his website. I'm sure he'd be willing to work with anyone who would want to create and open source a plugin for other players.

Foobar2000 is actually next in line for windows to be supported.

Awesome, thanks. I just subscribed to the blog for updates and will definitely be using it once it's out.
