Just launched privacy options! Now you can select if your posts are visible to friends, friends of friends or public. The default is obviously just friends. Please note that this setting is limited by the setting you have defined for the app in your facebook privacy settings. So if you’ve set privacy on facebook to friends, the app can’t make your posts public.

Enjoy and don’t forget to make a donation if you like this app!

UPDATE: This feature is now available to everybody

Hello and sorry for not updating this blog for a while.

As the title says, I’m working on a new feature for Last.fm Social and that’s embedding youtube videos in the place of where the album art usually appears! Now that’s pretty cool because you and your friends can listen to the track right there on your facebook wall. It looks like this:

And when you click on play it opens up the youtube video just like when you share youTube videos manually:

Pretty neat eh?

Now all this is very beta mostly because the app tries to match the artist and title of the track to the title of the youTube video.  So expect some false matches here and there. If the app doesn’t find a video it falls back to the album art.

Now this feature is eventually going to be available for all users but initially this is going to be available only for users who have supported the app by making a small donation. If you would like to try out this feature in advance of the official release (in a month or so from now), please consider making a small donation here.

I am also working on privacy options, which is something a few of you have asked for but don’t have an ETA for now. Stay tuned for more.

Lastfmsocial.com is the only app that connects your last.fm to your facebook.

You asked for it! Now you can customize the post text to ‘loves’ instead of the default ‘♥’. Let me know if you would like some other format. Try it out by logging into your account and selecting the relevant option. This feature is in beta so let me know if you run into any issues. Have fun!

We’re very excited to announce itunes links for shared tracks! Specifically a small text link at the bottom of a post (next to the like button) will appear if we have found the shared track in itunes’ music store. Now you can download the track or even suggest to your friends to do the same. This is a great way to support the artists you love. As always give us feedback in the comments below. Thanks!
