Last.fm has rolled out an updated version of its music player, which shows music videos for the songs you're listening to when available. And when they're not, it will show photo slideshows of the artist.

All told, the new Last.fm player gives you something to look at while you're listening to music, which is probably little more than an attempt to get you to stick around on the web page instead of opening the music player in a browser tab and then tucking it away in the background while you go and do something else. It's a lot easier to rake in the advertising dollars if you can get people to, you know, look at your web page.

The slideshow pictures come from related images uploaded by Last.fm members.

Even if you don't care about visuals, there's another reason you might want to check out the new Last.fm music player. You can now create instant radio stations by entering the names of up to three different artists instead of just one.
