If you're a new user, several of the options
will not yet be relevant to you, as they rely
on data built up over a period of use. In this
case, the irst two options on the list are
search-based and will probably be the most
useful to get you started. These options are
"Create Artist Radio" and "Create Tag Radio".

Create Artist Radio
Type-in all or part of an artist's or band's
name and click the "Search" button to
query Last.fm's enormous database and
bring up a list of matching results. Select
your choice from the results list. After a few
seconds of buffering, your new station will
begin playing. This station will play a random
and fresh mixture of tracks by your chosen
artist along with tunes by other artists who
share similar musical characterisitics.
Create Tag Radio
This option plays a selction of tracks
which have been tagged with certain
keywords. Tags are a very versatile method
of searching, as many are generated by
Last.fm's large user community, so can
be cross-referenced to a lot of interesting
and sometimes surprising results.
You can search for any word or phrase, but a
good starting point might be to input a genre.
Another good example of creating a tag
radio station is to enter the name of a
favourite record label. Whether you're
a Matador-loving indie kid, or a Def
Jam hip-hop head, Last.fm will keep
you entertained and help you discover
great new music for hours at a time.
AXiS's touchscreen makes interacting
with these functions super-easy. AXiS is
arguably even better suited to the task
than a computer, because it's a dedicated
audio device without the extra steps like
loading or installing software. Once you've
connected to your wireless network and
set up a subscription account via the last.
fm website, AXiS is ready to enter Last.fm
mode at any time with just a couple of clicks.
