Last.fm, a Web-based music service that’s been in the news frequently as of late with its introduction of virtually limitless on-demand playback support and its partnerships with international divisions of AOL and so forth, is arriving with another update today, this one in the form of a program called “Last.fm in a Box.” In short, it allows for the service to continue building its brand while making its core function of providing streaming music freely more easily available on popular third-party websites for the convenience of their users.
The initial set of partners for Last.fm in a Box is quite an extensive one. The CBS-owned company includes Billboard, Break Media, eMusic, Live Nation, MP3.com, Meebo, Frengo, Gigya, MP3.com, iGoogle, Netvibes, Pageflakes, Bebo, Ning, Photobucket, Piczo, Stardoll, WAYN.com, Six Apart, and Wordpress.com. CBS’s own television states and affiliates are listed as team players as well.
