MusicBrainz and Last.fm agree to license terms
After it seemed likely that hell would be serving slushies before Last.fm and MusicBrainz ever came to an agreement, I’m pleased to announce the immediate availability of slushies in the netherworld!
Last.fm and MusicBrainz have finally settled on terms for the MusicBrainz data license and shook hands on the deal. Now the lawyers need to nail down all the details and then the contract will be signed.
I’m immensely pleased that we’ve finally agreed to terms and are moving forward. I’m hopeful and excited that this new partnership will prove to be beneficial for both MusicBrainz and Last.fm!

Hoorah!

The end of the tunnel… Does this mean they’ll rely on the MBID field, too?

Yay! I might just start using last.fm again!
Does this mean they’ll have separate artist entries for when “Artist Artist” isn’t the same as “Artist Artist”?

Good news. I like you two.

Hurrah! Great work

So Last.fm will have again url relationships on the artist pages? That would be great.

Marcel, I think they still have links taken from MB on the Last.fm artist pages, they’re just hidden at the bottom of the page in light gray.

Thank you Dave, I didn’t know they were moved to the bottom.
I will change my wishes then =), I hope that Last.fm puts those links in a more visible place and begins to update them again.

The contracts are still being worked on. Until the contract is signed, there will be no news. Sorry!
