I found a new music service on the Web that I really like: www.pandora.com
You create a personalized "radio station" starting with an artist or song that you like, and they play songs that they link you'll like (that are similar). You can then vote thumbs-up or thumbs-down on the songs they play, and it learns what you like and don't like from there. It's a free service if you don't mind a few ads, otherwise you can subscribe for $3/month. It's all based on a new music classification system that they developed that determines the song's "DNA" based on a number of criteria, with the idea that the music that you like all shares some common DNA. Cool concept, especially for free! You can also create multiple radio stations for different music tastes.
Update: I've been listening to Pandora for about 5 days now (free service) and have yet to hear a single ad. Not sure how they plan on making money, but it's a great service.
Cool stuff.
