Last.fm Spins Out as Independent Company Nearly Two Decades After CBS Acquisition

[ref]

Last.fm announced on May 27 that it has become an independent company, ending an ownership chain that began with CBS’s $280 million acquisition of the music scrobbling service in 2007 and later passed through Paramount Global to Skydance Media. The forum post reads: “Today, Last.fm begins a new chapter as an independent company. Ownership has changed, but the product you use every day has not.” The same team will continue operating the service; user accounts, listening histories, scrobbles, data and privacy settings, and Pro subscriptions remain unchanged. Last.fm said it would share details about future plans “in the weeks ahead.”
