Pandora's Music Box

Check out Pandora. It's free personalized music.

You enter an artist or song you like and it uses extensive data from the Music Genome Project (over 400 attributes per song) to find other similar songs to play for you. You can further refine your own station by rating songs and adding more artists and songs. Create multiple stations. Share them. You can even skip songs you don't like.

It sounds good. It looks good. It works well. It's free. You can listen to your music stations from home or office or whereever.

This is quite a bit more technical than Amazon's and others "people who bought this also bought...". They have a crew of people with degrees and experience in music analyzing music to add to the database. It's amazing. You will probably discover new stuff you really like.

For some behind the scenes info, listen to Amber and Leo's Inside the Net podcast #6 where they interview Tim Westergreen from Pandora.
