I’m probably the last person on earth who is not having an Last.fm account. I never paid much attention although Last.fm was mentioned every now and then in news and in chats. The main interface reminds me of Pandora but the options and possibilities given by Last.fm exceed those of Pandora by a large margin.
The Last Ripper is a freeware audio recorder that saves Last.fm streams as mp3 music files on your hard drive. A Last.fm account is necessary to use The Last Ripper. Once installed you enter your login name and password into the software and choose one of the radio stations available.
The Last Ripper has several other features that come in quite handy, they are:
- Recording Last.fm streams to mp3′s
- Organize your music in directories: Artist/Album/Track/
- Downloads coverart
- Appends ID3v1 tags
- Generates playlist in M3U, SMIL, PlS
