Really cool music site: Pandora Radio
My brother in law turned me on to this site. You can create your own "radio" stations of our favorite artists. Pandora will then play your favorite artist and also similar artists. If you like a song give it a thumbs up and Pandora will remember what you like and that particular station will "grow" with more music that you like. Pretty cool.... and it's free!!
Here's their site: http://www.pandora.com/ The Music Genome Project® On January 6, 2000 a group of musicians and music-loving technologists came together with the idea of creating the most comprehensive analysis of music ever. Together we set out to capture the essence of music at the most fundamental level. We ended up assembling literally hundreds of musical attributes or "genes" into a very large Music Genome. Taken together these genes capture the unique and magical musical identity of a song - everything from melody, harmony and rhythm, to instrumentation, orchestration, arrangement, lyrics, and of course the rich world of singing and vocal harmony. It's not about what a band looks like, or what genre they supposedly belong to, or about who buys their records - it's about what each individual song sounds like. Since we started back in 2000, we've carefully listened to the songs of tens of thousands of different artists - ranging from popular to obscure - and analyzed the musical qualities of each song one attribute at a time. This work continues each and every day as we endeavor to include all the great new stuff coming out of studios, clubs and garages around the world. It has been quite an adventure, you could say a little crazy - but now that we've created this extraordinary collection of music analysis, we think we can help be your guide as you explore your favorite parts of the music universe. We hope you enjoy the journey. Tim Westergren Founder The Music Genome Project

It's a great site. When the new Internet radio royalties go into effect, bought and paid for by the RIAA and associated groups, they will instantly lose approximately 80% of their revenue to a government-mandated "tax" that is paid to and collected by SoundExchange.
I'd give them a year before they dry up. That's 80% of revenue, not 80% of profits.
