…you could take some notes about the songs you are listening directly on the last.fm player? Nothing too fancy. Something similar to the delicious notes would be ok. By now I’m using a tag (toresearch) for discovered artists, and sometimes I take notes on my helipad, but adding them right on the player would save [...]

Ser diseñador (o desarrollador) web (o interactivo, que se yo) y enterarte de que tus músicos favoritos usan MySpace para su presencia online ha de ser algo así como descubrir que tu más admirado programador escucha new age mientras trabaja… un poco frustrante.
