Oh, and... New Music

Though it probably isn't new to many of you, I think this is a very keen idea. It's a "Musical Genome Project" called Pandora. One types in a starting point song or band, and it uses a list as long as your arm about the qualities of the song to determine what you might like next. You can customize as you go, and create numerous different playlists within a certain genre. It isn't always perfect, but it's mighty impressive, and I've stumbled onto some good new music already. I'm listening even as I type.
