The company is doing that with the latest version of Last. FM the online radio site it bought last year. Press release here . Unlike so many music services this appears to be simple in the way that users would want. Go to the last. Search for an artist. See an ad on the screen. For people who particularly like a song Last. FM will link users to Apple s iTunes Amazon. The site has rights to . million tracks from the big four major labels and sites that have gathered music from independent labels. In concept this is similar to what is being offered by Imeem the social network. FM user experience is much more simple. Imeem only has tracks that its users upload so it is not comprehensive. It will even track the music listened to on iPods and other popular mp players. And it is awesome. January rd pm Sounded good up to the three track limit. I ll never even look at the service with such a limitation. January rd pm Even better is Pandora. January rd pm Pan! dora. com has been doing this for quite awhile. You can create station s by adding artist s . This is a great way to hear from different not so mainstream artists as well as those more recognizable. Competition is the key on this strategy and if it is ad supported c mon . January rd pm Apologies but this is demonstrably false. Many sites such as Imeem Social. Should you need help in researching future articles on music sites I am at your service. January rd pm Saul curious why you only mention Last. What s your view on Jango. com It s also simple as can be. Type in an artist. Create your own station or listen to stations created by others. Their claim is music made social that s pretty compelling. January rd pm Sad thing about Pandora is that you can t listen to it abroad. January rd pm This is no magic bullet by any stretch. The labels are going to crush digital music under their own stupidity and greed. Out of all the offerings my vote is for SpiralFrog. T! he players are going to become like cell phones to consumers they will all be cool and functional. iPods are popular because iTunes had the first model. Now things are changing. CBS strategically acquired Last. fm which was created by enterprising web applications developers like nearly every other useful online product. The old guard media companies rarely create anything of value. This acquisition is more the result of existential panic than any lasting insight. January rd pm No thanks Last. I ll stick with Pandora. com and my purchased music. January rd pm Dude you blew it on your article. How could you NOT MENTION jango. com It is better than the others you mentioned. January rd pm I love Last. January rd pm Pandora. com is the way to go Fast. Conforms to your likes dislikes. check it out http www. January rd pm I like Seeqpod. Rare that I don t find what I m looking for and there are no limits. January rd pm Last. fm is a great way to find new music and now and even better. Its like having the world s largest music library! . Its the ubiquitous internet and it s awesome. January rd pm Pandora does not know what I want to listen to. Nor do I want someone to tell me. Not having search is a big flaw. January rd pm Everyone recommending Pandora obviously didn t read this article or doesn t know pandora very well. For the record I love pandora and wouldn t use anything else. Pandora does not give you streaming of a particular song which is what last. January rd pm Pandora is so yesterday s news. They haven t innovated in years. January rd pm I am almost hesitatnt to mention Slacker. Slacker just has the music I love and it can be downloaded. There is a web page and a downloadable player that work in similar ways. Just dont tell too many people about this let them stay with Pandora while I enjoy Slacker. January rd pm I personally like slacker. Slacker is more customizable than Pandora with a better cooler interface. Check it out www. com Hopefully with CBS behind an internet streami! ng entity the push to charge internet broadcasters MORE money will cease. January rd pm pandora doesn t allow you to pick the songs you want to hear. January rd pm I m a little confused as to what all of these new music services are offering. January rd pm Pandora. com is totally better than Last. Wake up America The monster global corporations think they own you watch TV commercials and your media player. They re spying on you duh . Upon closer examination I would definatley agree that these are supior to live. Yet as to be expected the music lables have stuck their foot in. The record companies have got to relize that there competing against free downloadable content. The more limitations they impose the more it will drive the move to peer to peer sharing sites. DRM and things of this nature have NO effect on the honest people. Don t punish the people that are on your side. January rd pm As many have already alluded to Pandora is infinitely more superior. January rd pm Yippee doodle CBS has reinvented the radio. January rd pm S! tep on over to Pandora. com and check it out. It fits my needs for music while I work perfectly. January rd pm As a user of both Pandora and Last. fm I find myself going back to Last. And unlike Pandora LAst. And as mentioned above Last. fm is a music community that links people across the globe. Pandora can t do that. The addition of streaming a particular song is a new feature not the focus of Last. January th am I guess Last. fm is so much better than anything else out there and this new annoucement truely is something new and special. FM the free online radio service owned by CBS will let users listen to any of . million songs on demand paid for with advertising. The key limit each user can only listen to each song times. We cover start ups giant enterprises government policies and the way technology is used around the world. Feedback Tell us what you like don t like and want to read more about.

Another site recomended to review: Avantgarde ( http://mp3fast.net )
More or less nothing seems worth doing. I've just been letting everything wash over me lately. I just don't have anything to say lately. Shrug. I can't be bothered with anything lately.
