I can also say that I've basically stopped using Last.FM after one of their re-designs.

It's not that I have signed any petitions, it's that with new feature set and presentation, there wasn't any place in my life for this. I still scrobble but I'm not really visiting.

That, and failure to bring in positive change. Instead of addressing problems that I am seeing (e.g. trolls and bitter people spamming broadcasts of artists) they're tweaking colors. Ok, bye.

What did you use last.fm for besides scrobbling? I still go to it once a week to see my scrobbles and popularity of certain artists or related ones. The redesign removing personalization of own profiles annoyed me. But didn’t change my habits much.

Any new artist name I have heard, I would look up in last.fm to gauge what they similar to and how big they are.

I used events (to show that I'm going to a live concert).

I had friends there. Another thing is people stopped using last.fm eventully.

I did artsts tagging and used shoutbox. This is where lack of community tools really kicked in. Many shoutboxes were outright dominated by undesirables.

I have been scrobbling for years, but never really use the website itself.

What would you like to see in terms of significant new features and changes?

Yeah same here. I never knew what to do with last.fm besides cursory browsing and scrobbling. I don’t like the redesign but it doesn’t change much.
