I tried it out, but it had a tendency to repeat the same songs I heard last time when I would start it up again, even after I ranked them, in the same order.
Another potential is last.fm, which while not perfect in what music it has available, it has some good music.

I put in 'Bushes and Briars' and it picked The Carpenters, Fairport Convention, Sandy Dennis, and Frothingay. The last 3 were related since Sandy Dennis was in both groups.
It was interesting because it did list the elements that made up the song I input (chords, use of vocals, etc).

Pandora lets you create your own virtual radio station.
I've been running Pandora and refining a radio station of stuff i can tolerate and even enjoy at times. It does seem to be learning. Radio.com was cool too, but I kind of like Pandora's customization better and the way you can rate the songs with the little thumbs up/thumbs down thing. quick and easy. If you want, send an email to my username at gmail dot com and I'll share this station with you. ...I had to do SOMETHING about the 80's music they are playing....it's been 2 years....I was getting urges to wear parachute pants to work, and tie bandanas arouns my knees.

I adore Pandora. It's unfortunate that you now have to listen to ads, but I get it. It's a free service so I can't complain.

I have the Fire FM extension on Firefox as a menu bar, you can type in an artist and will mix a station based on similar stuff. You can do a lot with favourites on the site too.

I just upgraded my Pandora account. For $36 per year, now I have 192Kbps, it takes five hours to time out, no ads (were the ads all that bad, anyway?). Plus skins, mini-players, etc.
Considering that I listen all day long at work, does $3 a month, basically 10 cents a day, not sound like a good deal to you? Upgrade. The 192Kbps sound quality is immediately noticable.
