Last.fm announced today that it would shutter it's subscription streaming music service as of April 28th. "This means that traditional subscriber radio will no longer work on any platform or device," the CBS owned company announced. Scrobbling, the feature that drew many users, will still be available via a new [Last.fm Player](http://www.last.fm/listen?ref=hypebot.com) which draws tracks from Spotify.

"If you have an iOS device you can download the [Scrobbler app](http://www.last.fm/hardware/ios?ref=hypebot.com) and build Last.fm powered playlists from the music in your device’s library,"said the announcement.

Anticipating user backlash, the [announcement](http://www.last.fm/forum/21717/%5F/2226535?ref=hypebot.com) concluded: "We understand that many of you will not like this decision.
