Forums - Microsoft - Joystick confirms LastFM / 360 deal is useless

Tyrannical on 23 July 2009

Last.fm will not run in the backgrounds of other Xbox Live activities, you need to be in the application.


So much for listening to music while playing a game :(



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

This is funnier and funnier and funnier. Whatever happened to just listening to music?

Within 6 months of release I'm sure it will run in the game. M$ make changes all the time. I guess people at Joystiq don't ever listen to music without playing a game.:/

Forgive me, I'm sure that Live is the only one with this service that will be used massively.

Hopefully they change that crap,I don't want to listen to music and stare at the same fucking page for hours..I wanna be able to play burnout paradise and listen to pearl jam at the same time.

While that does suck I personaly don't listen to radio while playing games cause of the hassle of changing a song I wouldn't like. I would definitely prefer having my own individual playlist on my hard drive over a radio station. But oh well, maybe they will change it in the future for those that really care.

When you play a game, all other connections to the internet already stop

Can you watch Netflix while playing games?

Did people forget we can already listen to our own music playlist while playing games? Hell we could do this in certain Xbox games also. With X360 we can listen to custom soundtracks in every game.



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to Kinect &  PS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.

This is a joke right? How can you be playing a game and be watching a film at the same time. :)
