Last.fm, the social discovery and recommendation music site, will announce a deal today with the Independent Online Distribution Alliance.
The partnership between Last.fm and IODA means that even more music is now available for Last.fm users. IODA's full catalog, which includes over 800,000 tracks, will be accessible to Last.fm members, and over 24,000 PromoTracks will be available for free on-demand streaming and download. Offering more variety, especially from artists that are marketed through IODA, is what brings value to Last.fm, as it is a social site that fully takes advantage of the music industry's long tail.
