Audiosurf just released a major update that introduces last.fm support to the game.The FM update introduces a host of new features and content including last.fm audioscrobbling, the ability to run Audiosurf as a music visualizer, scoreboard comments, and much more. Many of these new features were produced as a direct result of community requests and feedback.To those unfamiliar with last.fm, it allows for users to keep track of the music they listen to on the media player of their choice, stream music from a number of artists, and find others with your similar tastes in music.
This is just one significant addition in this update, with another being the addition of increased mod support. A number of mods can be found at the Audiosurf site. The full change log is below, and it is quite the list.
