More Changes at Last.fm

It's now a little harder to discover new music via Last.fm. 

One of the nice things about their service compared to other online music sites is that when listening to your personal radio station you're free to skip any song you don't like. Well, that's gone. Now you're limited to six skips per hour. Of course you can bypass that by switching the station, but, while necessary to keep the site going (they didn't make the rules -- it's a requirement of the licensing agreement), it's annoying. From the FAQ :

When you listen to Last.fm radio, there is a limit on the number of times you can skip tracks on each station. It’s a requirement of our licensing agreements that allow us to stream music legally. If you ban a track, this also counts as a skip, because the banned track is skipped. If you ban a track when you have already reached your skip limit, the track will be banned as normal, but it will continue playing to the end. If you find that you’re skipping a lot of tracks, you might want to try re-tuning to a different station, or try a multi artist or multi tag station.

Overall it isn't a huge deal, but it makes listening a little less fun.
