Why Last.fm's free music won't replace your music collection
by marco
Last.fm looks like a great way to sample new music and introduce friends to bands that you like. In that sense, Last.fm could easily grow into a "YouTube for music," making it the preferred (legal) way to link up full songs for others to hear
