How are people able to listen to unavailable songs on Last.fm?

Question

Looking at some of the top listeners profiles, they have like 400 plays per band and most of the songs arent even able to be listened to because there is no play button beside it yet for some reason these people listen to these unavalible tracks. Is it possible that they are able to listen to a lot of music that i do not have access to.

Answer 1

Yea the people have the songs on their pc

Answer 2

One of the features of last.fm is that it tracks the number of plays of the songs you have in your media library, so whether or not last.fm has the track available, if you have it in your media library, it will track how many times you play it.

Answer 3

People own the songs on their computers from either CD's or downloads.

Answer 4

imeem.com is a lot better.
