Last.fm is the Android version of the well-known radio streaming web-service

First off, you need to create an account on Last,fm (in case you don't have one yet). You can do it from the app. Bear in mind that Last.fm was launched first as a web version, so most of users have already an account.

Last.fm for Android is basically a streaming radio-service that allows users to listen to music, discover and share it. You can create your personal radio station on your phone or import it from your web account (by sync). When you type an artist/album/song it automatically searches for similar music genre, what lets you discover new artists. What's more, yo can share your favorite songs through e-mail or social networks. You can organize your favorite songs, artist, albums, etc. by tapping on "favorites", and then organize them on its specific folder.

Thanks to its geolocation feature users can find upcoming events nearby (this feature doesn't work in all places, because of the update of database for some regions).

In brief, a simple and easy-to-use layout with four basic taps (profile, events, search, radio), sharing options, geolocation and sync with the web version. All that you need to enjoy listening to music from your personal radio.

Developer's original description available here
Learn about your favorite artists, find nearby events, and share your music tastes with the Last.fm scrobbler. Optionally sync your Last.fm friends with your contacts.

    ..... Total house sh@". The fact that they are charging 3 dollars a month for this is ridiculous. I have been a long, long, long time user on the computer. And now I have to pay for this? You don't even have to pay for Pandora. Thanks alot last. Fm.

    Irritating message kept returning, no music could be played: "Currently not available on mobile devices in your country." Absolutely useless. Uninstalled, canceling account.

    It works, but really needs a Holo overhaul. You should be able to swipe between tabs instead of clicking on them. Flatten out the gradients. Those tweaks alone would make it a much better app.
