Dudes nice post! I use Pandora all the time but hadnt heard of some of the others.
But what about LIVE music??
You should put in http://gruvr.com – easy way to discover new concerts right next door.
anyway im stumblin this
Elliot May 11th, 2008 at 12:47 am
musicovery.com is also very good.
Chris May 11th, 2008 at 10:58 am
You miss Last.fm and Jamendo.com. The first is probably THE music social website out there, certainly much more relevant on a global scale than Pandora, especially as the latter has now restricted access to US citizens only. The second is an invaluable tool for finding Creative Commons Licensed music, which is legal to download freely, as well as allowing to directly support any artist on there, and it has some really good stuff.
Jamendo is fairly obscure, so I can understand missing it, but seriously poor show on missing Last.fm. Feel like doing more research next time?
