The site formerly offered a radio streaming service, which was discontinued on 28 April 2014. On, it was acquired by CBS Corporation via its streaming division CBS Interactive, today a part of Paramount Global, for £140 million (US$280 million). The data is then displayed on the user's profile page and compiled to create reference pages for individual artists. This information is transferred ('scrobbled') to Last.fm's database either via the music player (including, among others, Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, MusicBee, SoundCloud, and Anghami) or via a plug-in installed into the user's music player. Using a music recommender system called 'Audioscrobbler', Last.fm builds a detailed profile of each user's musical taste by recording details of the tracks the user listens to, either from Internet radio stations, or the user's computer or many portable music devices. Last.fm Limited is a music website founded in the United Kingdom in 2002.
