Briefly, I may be the last one to the party here, but if you haven't heard of it you need to check out Pandora. I use it everyday while I work from home to provide some background music, which helps keeps me moving through the day. With Pandora, you can create up to 100 personalized radio stations (they also have some nice pre-set genre stations available - we like the New Orleans jazz station while entertaining friends in our home). You begin by entering a song or artist, and Pandora creates a station based on that preference, using music that is similar in style and whatnot. You can give a thumbs up or down to a particular song, and each time you do you're refining the station's content.
It's radio in that you can't just pick a song on-demand, and can't rewind or repeat a song (though you can skip one), and they pay royalties for each song they play. Pandora is free, relying on advertising and donations to keep going. It really is a great way to get music for any mood or whim, and I strongly recommend it.

Ragin! Pandora doesn't allow users outside US!
Can't get it over here in Ireland! But thanks for the link anyway.
Yeah, you're last, but welcome to the party anyway. Pandora is great. Plays all the stuff you like, plus exposes you to stuff in your genre you may have never heard and cut what you don't like.
I have never heard of it before, but will definitely give it a go. Thanks for the info Alex! Hope all is well.
