Buzz Buzz.


If you haven't heard of or tried out Spotify I think you may want to give it a go, especially if you are an audiophile like me.  It is basically an enormous catalogue of music (something like 11 million songs), all of which you can instantly access from your computer (or your smartphone if you are signed up for the Premium version).
It works like this.  Download the program to your computer.  Search for a song or artist in the search bar.  Stream said song or album.  It's as easy as that.  Very intuitive, very easy to use, and a nice UI.
But there's more of course.  The neato thing, IMHO, is that you can very easily share songs, albums, or playlists with other registered users that you know.  Drag it and drop it onto your friend's avatar, send them a message if you would like to, and play on.  It's like a mezcla of the biggest iTunes collection ever and a social networking platform.  There is even an Artist Radio feature that allows you to plays songs and bands that are similar to a band you have chosen (though this feature doesn't quite seem as rich as that of Pandora's Music Genome Project).
Give it a go.  Enjoy.
Cheers
