Well, actually right, thoose are improvements for last.fm we can just
implement such features. So please talk to the last.fm team.

Though I myself think that hate/love is the style with the higher
usability, and I guess the system behind is actually bit better than
just a 1-10, because (at least form technical point) it could use
percentages. So the user listened to that song 4 times, 50% of that
amount he rated it love and 50% hate = song will get not prefered but
also not 	disadvantaged. Of course I don't know if it is really done
that way, though I'm quite sure the system is smoother than a 1-10
rating
