Warner Music Group has now removed its full-track, on-demand catalog from Last.fm, according to information surfacing Friday. The removal, first tipped by Silicon Alley Insider, was confirmed by both Warner Music Group and Last.fm parent CBS. "We are currently negotiating a new agreement with Warner Music Group and are working hard to build the most comprehensive music service on the web," a CBS spokesperson stated.
On Last.fm, songs from heavyweights like Madonna, Neil Young and Metallica are completely unavailable for on-demand playback. Other tracks, including those from artists like Missy Elliott and Kid Rock, are available as 30-second snippets.
The reasons for the removal revolve around money. Executives later told the New York Times that Warner was disappointed with the payout from the per-play, ad-based arrangement. Additionally, Last.fm has not yet introduced a subscription service, another possible sore point according to the Times.
The pullout does not affect the semi-interactive, recommendation-driven internet radio service, licensed by Warner in February of 2007.
