Warner Music Group has signed a deal to allow its entire catalogue to be played over the fast-growing social networking music service Last.fm, the innovative site that links music fans to new and old hits.

With more than 15 million active users per month, Last.fm has earned glowing praise for its system which recommends songs by tracking a listener's music-playing habits and automatically linking them to fans with similar tastes.

The deal with Warner, the world's fourth-largest music company, is the first with one of the major labels and the network's co-founder Martin Stiksel said they were in talks with the other three major labels and content holders.

Chronicmagazine.com: What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned so far?

LV: What you get out is what you put in. I learned a lot from Puff’s work ethic. Puff never sleeps. Working on his album [Press Play] was the craziest sh*t in my life. I never slept. There were times when I had to just sneak out the studio. He’s a monster – in a good way. He works. He doesn’t stop. We’ll work on a record, mix it and take it to the club to see how it sounds. Then, we’ll go back and do it over again. He’s a monster. We just did a remix for him and Lil Wayne. He flew all the way from Toronto to hear the mix. That dude doesn’t stop.
