Download myLastFM

Congratulations on your decision to download a copy of myLastFM! Please keep in mind that myLastFM is currently in the beta stage. Your feedback will help make myLastFM better so let us know you think!


myLastFM beta
The current beta version of myLastFM requires that you have the Microsoft .NET version 1.1 Framework installed on your computer. The myLastFM download is not an installer; it is only an executable file. You do not need to install anything except for the Microsoft .NET version 1.1 Framework (which is free). Before you download and install the .NET version 1.1 Framework, check to see if you already have it installed. The Framework also comes as an update from Windows Update.

If you have any questions about installing myLastFm, please contact us. We are glad to help :-)
