    Allow import from other sites

    specifically last.fm. I knwo they may be a direct competitor, however having over 20K track plays over there means that my music taste is pretty well documented.

    I second this request for Last.fm importing. They're not really a full competitor so I don't think it's a bad idea (and it would still be a good idea to allow integration even if they were a competitor). Other sites like rotten tomatoes and other movie rating services would also be good to implement. Amazon would be another. I know some of these may not have APIs or feeds to import from so they may be impossible to implement.

    yes, we also see this as a significant feature, and it is coming very soon! 

    we've implemented all the backend to do the data import - all that is missing is the UI to capture your last.fm user name to trigger the import.  This is being worked on right now.
