Sorry but i thought that Last.fm was the medium through which the artists announced me their new music so that I, if I liked it, might end up buying it.
Why not stream ads with the music? I might be even willing to bear a system notice (by the system tray) that had an ad on it every X songs. Hell, they could fill up the player with ads for all i care (a minimal view that only showed the buttons and below it the ads running).
They could have also limited how many times a user listens to a song each month (so this forces the new music to be played more). I would even let them force me to publish my last.fm widget with links to buy the songs i like to listen to (they could get all the revenue, i don't care).
There are several ways to not charge the user for what's nothing more than a radio tunner.
Back to Streamtuner and Streamcasts? Well, maybe, let's see how Last.fm plays this one.
