[Music] I am in awe
http://www.pandora.com/
You put in a band, or a song. It plays similar bands and similar songs. It gives you a reason. You get to say whether you like the song it chose or not. It adapts to your tastes.
Amazing.
(EDIT although I have just discovered you can't register unless you are a US citizen...
Anyone like to provide a random Zip code for me?)

You can only skip so many songs an hour due to their music licenses

Re: [Music] I am in awe
I really like this program.
Hope they get the license stuff sorted out so they can include more stuff from Europe and people outside North America can register(I wonder how many people they have from Beverly Hills, heh).

Re: [Music] I am in awe
We're all from a computer club down near that grotty little hotel on Hollywood Boulevard - and we all live in 90210. Which just so coincidentally happens to be the number from a well known TV show.
Things happen, they can't prove jack.
(Not that Jack was in anyway responsible...)

Re: [Music] I am in awe
yeah i pasted it in #forums the other day
for a very simplified but similar program check out;
Music Map
it doesn't really do music which is useless, but cross-refer using sites such as www.purevolume.com & such forth.

Re: [Music] I am in awe

This one you can suggest a band you like and it plays (sometimes relatively unknown) music of a similar genre of which you can say yay or nay.
it's already thrown up a couple of bands I'd like to hear more of.
Shame it's so American Biased.

Re: [Music] I am in awe
I used up the 10 free hours on this a while ago and got some decent suggestions of songs/bands I liked, but after a while the same things kept coming up and there was still too much stuff I didn't like being played. All in all, not enough to convince me to pay for registration.
Edit: Oh cool, it isn't just 10 free hours any more, there's a free version with adverts instead. Registering right away!
