It had working radio (you could stream from it directly, for a small fee) and their discovery stuff was great. Not sure what happened at last.fm but they just completely screwed up. They dropped streaming, disabled or broke a bunch of other functionality and reverted their API to the stone age.

If I recall, it was around then that they were bought out by... CBS? (Say no more)

Acquisition was 2007, radio shut down in 2014. CBS was hands-off for a long time but you know how this story goes.
