Making your own playlist: (Keep in mind that you must subscribe to listen to your playlist on shuffle, as many times as you want. Subscription is $3 (US) a month)
1. When you go to the last.fm homepage you should see this under your icon and name on the top left side of the page, click "Your Profile"

2. Once on your profile, you'll see this at the top. Click where it says "0 Playlists"

3. Click where it says "Make a new playlist"

4. Click "Add a Track"

Now you can search for any track you want.

Once you have at least 45 different tracks by at least 15 different artists on your playlist - any subscriber can listen to your playlist! (and it will show up on your profile page)
