Last.fm on 360 is terrible.

When I click on the Michael Jackson radio, I want to hear Michael Jackson. Instead, Last.fm rarely plays Michael Jackson. What a waste of time.Last.fm on 360 is terrible.
That's how Last.fm has always been.Last.fm on 360 is terrible.
If you type in a artist it will play that artist and others similar to him. Just like when you the site on your PC or use pandora.com. I personally lie the feature since it came out I check a lot of new bands I probably would of not known about.
I think that's less of a problem and more than it's not usable while in-game. Who's going to turn their TV on, their 360 on, their receiver on, and listen to the radio by itself?

Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

yeah i agree with this it's dissapointing it can't be used in game:/
I use it when I'm getting ready in the morning, studying, on the computer, stuff like that. You don't have to sit there and stare at the screen :P. I'm hoping in the future there will be an update that allows it to be played in game, but the more I think about it I don't know if it would take up too much of our connections.
Without in-game music, I don't even know why they added the feature.......
[QUOTE=''joke_man'']Without in-game music, I don't even know why they added the feature.......[/QUOTE]So they'd have a feature that PSN doesn't.
i do agree it frustrates me. i want to listen to my favorite rapper ''Drake'' but too bad i can everone but.
My 360 is in my living room which is near my kitchen and dining room. For me, it's convenient to have the 360 playing music while i'm cooking or eating in the other room. If it's in a bedroom, it probably seems kinda useless since you probably have a laptop or pc right beside you. I mean, my laptop could already do this as well, but it's still kinda nifty. Plus my 360 is usually on and I'd rather do most things through a game controller for some reason.
I like that it plays other artists that are similiar too, but aren't the one I typed in. I've learned of so many bands I hadn't heard of, but I actually really like.
You could just buy Michael Jackson's music. Last.fm isn't intended for you to listen to music you already have but to discover artists you may not have heard of before. I will agree that the service on the 360 is nearly useless without the ability to use it in game however.

That's the point. It's like Pandora. The point is to expose you to artists you may have never heard of before that are similar to your musical tastes. If you want to listen to one artist that you like there are many other easier ways to do so.
Ummmm , sorry to brake this to you but Last FM has always been like this and thats why its so famous , just like Pandora :-)

oh well..dont use it on your 360 then. why dont u just listen to him on youtube??? haha
That's just what last.fm is. I don't mind it, I like having a variety, but I think it's pointless at this point, because I'm on my Xbox to play games, I can just as easily turn my radio on or something. If they made it so you could listen to last.fm while playing a game, that would be great.

playing online with my gamertag

Hey i was recently at a mates place for a while and i decided to recover my gamertag on his xbox so i could say hello to my mates on live and before i left his place to come home i deleted the gamer tag off his xbox and now when i go on my xbox i sign into my account and everything is all good until i try to play a game i get disconected. is there anyway to fix this ??playing online with my gamertag
My boyfriend has his tag on my XBox and on his cousins. He changed his avatar or something, I don't know, but it started disconnecting on my XBox. He fixed it by recovering his gamertag on my XBox, and it worked fine.

    Microsoft Executive Hints: Project Gotha ...

    http://www.wastedgamer.com/microsoft-executive-confirms-pgr-5-in-the-works/Microsoft Executive Hints: Project Gotha ...
    Really cool I guess. You would think they would've axed the project after the failure of PGR4. But they are great games. Looking forward to this and Planning to buy Forza 3. I'm glad Xbox 360 is getting more than just shooters for once:)Microsoft Executive Hints: Project Gotha ...
    Awesome. PGR is a great series. I still think Forza is better, but this game will be a must buy for me!
    i think forza 3 can tide me over for a while...until forza 4 :P
    I'm done with arcade racing games..
    hell ******* yeah!

    i love the pgr series!
    Man, if true, this is awesome news. While I love my Forza recently, I've loved PGR from the start (it was my launch title for the original Xbox).Thanks for sharing.

I'll be getting Brutal Legend, Dragon Age, Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead 2, NFS: Shift, The Bigs 2, and possibly Madden 10 from Bestbuy. And possibly Borderlands from Gamestop if they have any left when i get there. What are you getting for your xbox on Black Friday?2009 Black Friday Deals!
    I might have to look into getting Left 4 Dead 2. I never played the first one, but this is a good excuse to get the new one.2009 Black Friday Deals!
    Just giving you a heads up, Borderlands has been $50 at GameStop for the past 2 weeks.

    Eh I'll just use Amazon or have Walmart match all of the prices. There's no point in trying to get one of those games at the actual store. By the time you get there you might get one game that you want if you're lucky and that's after getting there as soon as they open.By the way System Wars has a sticky with a ton of great sales listed.

    Controller turns on sys but then nothing

    I can turn on my system with my wireless controller but then it won't connect to the box, the whole circle flashes on my controller and nothing on the box but the power light. Controller turns on sys but then nothing
    did u press the little circle on the 360 system? u have to press two bottons to get the 360 synced. one is on ethe controler then the one on the 360 its a little small one right by the power botton. Controller turns on sys but then nothing
    If you have a play and charge kit you can get around the syncing process by connecting the cable, then pressing the Xbox button on the controller. It will turn the console on and sync with the system. That's what I do when my controller stops working with my console.
    Same problem with my wireless controller. It was working fine before, but a couple of days ago when I was playing, the Xbox flashed the message ''Please reconnect controller''. I thought the batteries were dead. I switched the battery pack with a fully charged one. I turned on the controller, but it did not connect, so I turned off my console. I managed to turn it on by pressing the Xbox guide button on the controller, the console recognized the controller but did not connect it to one of the quadrants. I did that reconnecting thing in the booklet that came with the controller, and nothing. I have tried reconnecting the controller many times, and I made sure the console was not near any metallic objects or cordless phones like the booklet told me to. I tried to contact Xbox, but they told me the same thing found in the booklet. I don't know what to do now.
