Music Recommendation Services
There's a good round-up of online music recommendation services at ExtremeTech. Some of them, like Last.fm and Pandora, Yahoo LaunchCast and LivePlasma, I've known about for a while now. A few of them, like Audiri and Mercora, are new to me.
If you're always on the lookout for new music, either just to listen to while your on your computer, or to buy, I recommend Pandora.
Mercora is like a P2P internet radio, where instead of sharing downloads, you share streaming music with over 1 million other users.
Audiri is also based on music sharing, but instead of using a P2P model, it's the artists themselves doing the sharing. Independent artists are given 200Mb of space to upload their music files, and then you can listen to streams and in some cases, download the file for free.
Most of the time I just listen to this music while I'm on the computer, but occasionally I come across a song, an artist, or a band that I like so much I end up buying a CD or two.
