LSI has over 750.000 members, which grows with many hundreds per day. Members can use a lot of extra functions on LSI. They can bookmark artists, albums and lyrics, create a personal LSI-page, publish pictures, start a web log, receive and send messages. Thereby they can help expand the content of the website and add artist-information.
