last fm... well last fm is good as long as I'm 100% sure they don't use
my data. And the data is locked up for erverybody else... but maybe I
want to know my statistics without uploading them to somebody I i cant
really trust because even if they don't use my data its such a lot of
valueable Data that could be hacked easyly... I just don't like the idea
of storing such data in the net.
