I thought I found the perfect Firefox extension for my netbook when I heard about Fire.fm. It lets me put a couple of controls on the status bar of my Firefox which can look up last.fm radio stations for particular artists are users; so I can stream music with a click of a button.
Unfortunately, soon after I found out about it (and not even had I used it away from home), Last.fm announced that it was making its radio stations subscriber only. If I want to be able stream radio (because I’m not in US, UK or Germany), I have to pay $3 a month! That’s more than I pay for my phone service each month!
