You just play music in iTunes and it automatically watches what you play and sends it to last.fm. Recently I started getting a lot of spam in my last.fm inbox, mostly of the Nigerian scam variety, so I had to set my privacy so others can't contact me. I've also started using the iLike sidebar. I find the two have very different statistics, since iLike seems to use iTunes play counts for all time, rather than only what you've played since you installed it, although iLike's play counts are very different than what iTunes shows. I have a large iTunes library and I play it on shuffle most of the time, so my artist lists are all over the place and probably throw off their reccomendations :) If you want to compare the two: http://www.last.fm/user/mike3k/ http://alpha1.ilike.com/user/Mike_C3 I’ve been using Last.fm for a while with the iScrobbler plugin for iTunes.

Also, Foxytunes for Firewfox allows you top control Pandora. The one thing I don't like about Last.fm -- I always forget to open the app whe I play my music. I tried out iLike (ilike.com), which is like Last.fm and is a sidebar for iTunes, but it's annoying and I never used it, so I got rid of it. http://openpandora.blogspot.com/ is a desktop app fro Pandora.
