Pandora
Pandora refers to their service as Internet Radio, but actually it is a music discovery service. It's a rather unique and clever concept and I find that I do indeed find new music that I like. Pandora is free though they do have some premium options.
Pandora has a large ever expanding library of music. For each song they enter into the library, they spend approximately a half hour analyzing various attributes such as melody, harmony, lyrics, rhythm, some four hundred attributes in all.
You create a "station" by defining a song or songs or artists that you like. Pandora then plays other music which has attributes similar to the songs you initially started with and for each song that plays, if you wish, you can vote on whether or not you like it. Pandora then uses that information to further refine those elements which you like in music.
Pandora has a wide selection of domestic music from the past and current and has quite a few lesser known artists. However, at present, Pandora does not have a good selection of world music.
