Find Music You’ll Love - Pandora
This is a nice service if you don’t already have online music streaming (like YME). You enter your favorite artist or song, and it streams songs that best match your taste based on their “Music Genone Project” (it seems to be pretty accurate for me so far). UI is clean and friendly (it’s in Flash though, sorry tsl :-)

Last.fm - The Social Music Revolution
Last.fm goes one step further by scrubbing songs you listen to (using extensions to many music players) and constantly updates your taste. It also lets you create and listen to your custom internet radio station based on your taste. At first few glances, Last.fm is more refined than Pandora.. it also has the social-networking aspect, so you can discover new songs based on someone else in your contacts. Pretty cool~ Only downside of Last.fm that I see is that unlike Pandora, you have to install Last.fm player (which is not that bad considering most music service requires the same). And despite all the additional features, lot of people seem to prefer Pandora over Last.fm.

With these great free services, it’s going to be hard to justify paying $ for online streaming service…
