Download songs from Last.fm to your hard drive
No matter how large your music library is, you'll eventually grow tired of it. And when that time comes, Last.fm is a great alternative source of music where you can discover new genres and bands.
But what if you want to download the music you listen to on Last.fm to your hard drive? Then the best choice is LastSharp, a really simple piece of software that enables you to download music from Last.fm directly to your hard drive.
LastSharp is very easy to use and it doesn't even require installation. All you need is your Last.fm login data and you're good to go. You can search the site in several ways: using keywords, tags, looking for similar artists to the one you've entered or browsing your playlist and neighbors, among others.
There are a few things I especially liked about LastSharp. You can set the program to download a few songs at the same time, make it play the music once it's been downloaded, get the album cover as well or even have all the songs automatically normalized with the built-in mp3Gain tool. LastSharp also includes its own music player and lets you listen to the selected track in streaming as well.
On the downside, I must say that LastSharp has occasionally a strange behavior. For example, I noticed that once you download a certain song from the search results, you can't download any of the other songs that appear before that particular track on the list. Also, downloads can sometimes be a bit slow.
In general though LastSharp is a really handy tool that will give you the opportunity to enjoy music on Last.fm even more.

Good Music Downloader.
First I am going to say I like how LastSharp is laid out, all you do is log-in and you can search for audio files to download right from the app. Another positive is since it uses Last.fm as it's download source, there is less chance you download garbage files than with other downloaders.There are downsides as well. First off your stuck with the lowest quality MP3 available. There is no option to download to a better quality. This is bad because even aTube Catcher allows you to download to 320kbps. LastSharp is also the slowest downloader I've used. aTube Catcher downloads and converts a 320kbps file faster than LastSharp just downloads a 128kbps file.If you don't care about speed or quality of audio sound then there is no better alternative than LastSharp since it gives you less chance you end up woth garbage files. No doubt if they would allow for better quality audio formats and increased the download speed, this would be a 5 star app hands down.
Pros:
Last.fm Music Streaming
Less Garbage Files
Nice User Interface
No Installation
Free
Cons:
Only Downloads MP3s at 128kbps (Lowest Quality)
Music Downloads Are Slow
English Is Not The Default Language
