Keep on rockin in the 'free' world

I am sure we are all familiar with the phrase "Music makes the world go round." This is true in real life, and our other real life: the online world.

As a big music junkie I would like to pass along the following recommendations to those of you needing a boost of new tunage.

LastFm

Users can create custom radio stations and playlists from any of the audio tracks in Last.fm's music library, and are able to listen to some individual tracks on demand, and in some cases download tracks if the creator has given permission.

Pandora

Users enter a song or artist that they enjoy, and the service responds by playing selections that are musically similar. Users provide feedback on the individual song choices — approval or disapproval — which Pandora takes into account for future selections.

Project Playlist

Project Playlist is an information location tool similar to Google but devoted entirely to the world of music. The purpose is to help you find and enjoy music legally throughout the web in the same way that other search engines help you find webpages, images, and other media.

See good things really do come in threes.

Happy Valentine's Day!
