Scrobbling website Last FM are set to shut its radio streaming subscription service from new month onwards.

As Billboard reports, the site will discontinue their current player on 28 April, replacing it with a new third-party player that syncs audio from YouTube, VEVO and Spotify.

“Following the launch of the new Last.fm Player earlier this year and Last.fm’s partnership with Spotify for on-demand playback, we’ve revised the subscription service in order to focus on the new Last.fm Player and Last.fm’s over-arching mission: world-class music recommendations,” said managing director Simon Moran of the news.
