I did not know what.cd.
Reading the comments here, it seems this service represented for many what to me is last.fm, with regards to music discovery only (not downloads).
How was what.cd different from last.fm, with regards to that aspect? I think last.fm has always had the best tagging and recommendation engine ever, easily crashing Spotify and the alike, even today (I hate Spotify recommendations, after 4th song you will listen at rubbish).
Last.fm also allows to see compatibility with other members based on your tastes, (I understand this aspect was a big part in what.cd).
Actually I think Last.fm was the "first Spotify" ever. 10 years ago they were hosting music on their server and had a premium plan but back then it didn't work. Instead of shutting down they decided to remain as a recommendation engine and community, embedding music from Youtube.
Does anyone uses it here? Any opinion on how the two compare?
