#32I noted that the article mentions that there is a lot that is 'coming soon', so maybe this is all in the works and i'm being redundant but: I have to say that i'm not super impressed with how the profiles are set up. I really like Last.fm's profile pages because they provide a huge amount of information at a glance, and they do Like.fm's stated job of being 'a place to find songs that you like' very well by giving yo…
So your summary page will rank your recently top played songs and group them by artists. It's supposed to reflect your top music within the last 1-3 days so it can keep up with what you like right now . I know the site may still look a little bare and even unpolished but I'm the only person working on it right now but I'll be hiring soon. And as far as more quantitative stats and similarity ratings, that's all in the…

I think the transcribing got a little messed up, but what I meant was that Like.fm isn't meant to be a listening destination. It's not meant to compete with Pandora, Rdio, or iTunes.
