Enter any artist or song title, and it searches this obscenely large library to help you find songs and artists similar to ones you already like, helping to expand your musical tastes. It does so in the form of custom stations, which let you listen to the music.
I'm in love with it already. It works well. :love:

iTunes has a similar function, although it still costs money to get the music. This, however, is very free!

Nothing important...

It's not only popular music. The selection ranges from popular to obscure.
There is plenty of losery shit for you there, trust me.
And btw, this isn't exactly free. There are only a set number of hours that each person gets for free until they have to start paying for it. I think it's either 6 or 10 hours.

I've been listening non-stop since I posted this thread. You can listen for free all you want, you pay to remove the ads... and since I just fire it up and minimize the window, I could care less about ads.

Well, it's quite lacking in classical, European techno, and Japanese pop artists, which is what I searched for. :) I don't listen to much of anything in the way of general-release American music... of course, I'm not a music person, so that's not saying a lot (I can't just sit and listen to music, it's not interesting, as I've said before; I'd rather have silence or the TV (news, cartoons, whatever) on in the background; I do not buy music CDs, ever; etc), but it's true. I didn't even bother searching for the kind of music I listen to most often, of course. There's no way they'd have videogame soundtracks...
Looking through my music folder for things that actually have listed artists...
Examples of things I searched for that I didn't find (covering the previously mentioned categories, mostly):
Bizet
Bach
Vivaldi
Megumi Hayashibara
Roots and Leaves
Chance Thomas
Pete Ruskay
Mark Morgan
Brad Venable
Boa
Blümchen
MKL
Ones which I did find something for:
Beethoven (though it's playing jazz music, so I'm not so sure about the accuracy there...)
Ayumi Hamasaki
Yoko Kanno
The Ink Spots
Sasha
Underworld
Harvey Danger (not my thing, not sure why I've got that here...)
See what I mean? I know the problem: I'm not searching for the kind of artists it would list! Well yes, that's the point. As I said, I don't listen to most such music very much. :)

Just because it doesn't have a lot of internation music, doesn't mean that it's all mainsteam American music, you know...
I've searched for Boards of Canada, Safri Duo, Ray Lynch, and Vangelis and have been satisfied with the results.

Ah, silly me. Thank you. :)
This makes my life 14% better.
