Hi Chris, Foobar2000 has a very accessible Last.fm component available for download. Use it all the time here. -----Original Message----- Sent by Chris Hallsworth on Friday, January 30, 2009 at 08:14 PM Ar, but I quite like the Last.FM player that Speakon provides. I do not know of any other accessible Last.FM player apart from Speakon. To each their own though of course. -- Chris Hallsworth e-mail: christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN: ch9675@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: chrishallsworth7266 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 30, 2009 7:40 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Announcement - New SpeakOn features release 30 January 2009 > Hi James, > I feel the same about Klango, it is pretty rubbish.
