Not to come across as an advertiser, but just a suggestion for those of us who enjoy music on their computer, but don't like spending money.

You should check out Spotify, it's like Napster, but streaming instead of downloading (with the occasional add).

Discovered a whole bunch of great Blue Grass covers of contemporary music, ha :)
 
Napster started out as a straight pirate download site like Pirate Bay. However, the legal heat got to be too much and they converted to a legal download-for-pay site.

Spotify is similar to Pandora, input an artist name or song and the thing will usually throw up the entire catalogue of the artist for you to listen to. You can make playlists which are stored in the "cloud", not on your computer. There is a limited "find other artists like this" feature as well.
Doesn't measure up to Pandora in that regard (yet, anyway) but it's a decent service. I put in a couple of the rather obscure folks I listen to and got pretty complete catalogues for them....
 
The better part of Spotify is that you don't have to listen to the crap Pandora throws in. Plus with Spotify you can skip as many songs as you like. I have the Premium membership and I love it. Leaps and bounds better than Pandora. Plus with the paid versions you can locally store songs so you don't need an internet connection to play the music. If you like music, try out the free version and go from there.
