Last.fm add videos

Last.fm are adding music videos into their recommendation based music service, with video content from a number of UK based indies, including Ninja Tune, Domino, Warp and Mute, plus Canadian indie Nettwerk Music, all available at launch. Word has it that video content from EMI and Warner will also be added shortly, with the aim to have pretty much every video ever on the service eventually - putting the service very much in competition with YouTube who have, of course, expressed similar ambitions. Though I think the Last.fm video service will provide a rolling stream based on your musical preferences (the bespoke playlist being core to the Last.fm proposition) rather than offering automatic on demand access to this video or that. Though, on the up side, Last.fm say their videos will be available in twice as good quality as on YouTube.
