I listened to almost 15.000 artists! Please suggest me your most obscure/niche/underrated/underground artists. I'm mostly interested in electronic music, indie/alt pop/rock but I'm open for a lot of different genres and experimental stuff.

Here's my profile for reference: last.fm/user/themoldypeach

We're a research team at the University of Rochester studying what might be new ways of interacting with your music listening data for self-discovery — not just the numbers and rankings.

Your Last.fm page knows every song you've played, but only you know why. Behind the charts and counts are late-night drives, old friendships, phases you grew out of, and songs that still mean something.

## What you'll do
One session of approximately 90 minutes, over Zoom or in person in Rochester. You will:

- Revisit parts of your own Last.fm listening data
- interact with a chatbot to explore your listening data
- Complete an interview on what you think
- Help us imagine how tools for exploring listening data for self-discovery could be designed differently

## Who can participate?
- You are 18 or older
- You have used Last.fm for at least one year
- You are comfortable sharing your Last.fm listening data for the study

Compensation: $16/hour(30% tax withheld for non-resident alien)

We will ask for access to at least one year of your Last.fm listening data. Your data will be de-identified, used only for research purposes, and deleted after the study sessions conclude. Participation is voluntary, and all responses and listening data are handled according to the study's consent and privacy procedures.

## Interested?
Please fill out this short eligibility form: docs.google.com/forms/…/viewform?usp=dialog

## Questions? Email me at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) or send me a message.

We'd love to hear the stories behind your scrobbles. Thank you!

Update:
Hi everyone,
Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and interest! We have currently recruited enough participants for our first round of sessions, but we will be holding another round. You are still welcome to sign up, and we will keep your information on file and contact you about the next session. Thank you again!

If you have at least a few of these artists in your top 8, drop your username so we can follow each other, my username is gllitjeans 💗

It happens when I try going to my albums sections, songs section, clicking on a specific album to see how many scrobbles I have per song, etc

It’s been like this for a few days. Hoping it’s just a bug that will be fixed soon

Whenever I try to go into it it just comes up with this💔 does anyone know what to do to fix it???

Not sure how many other threads there are about this but I'm just getting '400 Bad Request' messages every time I try to access last.fm.

I compile a weekly chart and I wanna see my stats!

Is there anything I can do about it?

hi my scrobbles have been stuck on 47982 for like an hour and they havent moved. i even tried deleting a few and it started working again until it reached the same number??? also tried reconnecting my spotify. has anyone else had this problem?

Helloo I’m a massive noob at last.fm and also reddit lol- but in the last few weeks my scrobbles will just stop counting. I’ve disconnected and reconnected to Spotify on last.fms website and also disconnected from last.fm through Spotify. When i reconnect it’ll carry on scrobbling for a time but then just randomly drop out within a couple days- help?

i think ppl might get this easily lmao

A year ago, I decided to rejoin last.fm; I'd had it way back in the aughts, while I was in college, but abandoned it in the wake of the sale to CBS. Decided on a whim to rejoin, and it's been interesting to keep track of my listening in this way again. Here are my top tracks, artists, and albums over the last year of listening.

We have any other chiptune nerds here? I only have Kubbi in my albums this week, but I normally listen to quite a lot of chipmusic, and it'd be nice to see some others with a taste for it.
