Blipster is a desktop client for Blip.fm that runs on Adobe AIR, which means it can work with Windows, Mac, and Linux computers. You can use Blipster to search for music, listen to songs, see the latest messages and songs from your contacts, and even add new people to follow.

Blipster also features Last.fm integreation which lets you find similar artists. It also has beta support for Last.fm's scrobbling feature which is designed to offer improved recommendations based on the music you've already played.
