A friend turned me on to Pandora Radio last spring, and I must admit, I have been an avid listener and Pandora user ever since! I love using the online radio stations, and especially enjoy customizing my own stations depending on my mood. One of my favorite vocalists is KT Tunstall, and one of the first things I did on Pandora was to create a station featuring her music.
I've downloaded music from online stores before, but I really am not a fan of the low (128kbps) bitrate that accompanies online music downloads. I prefer to have my music at least cd quality which is 192kbps, so I tend to rip my cd's to my hard drive via software and listen that way if I'm not utilizing internet radio. Every so often, MySpace has free downloads for some of the artists who keep profiles there, but again, the bitrate is less that optimum, in my opinion.
I use a file sharing service to share items with my friend who lives overseas, but I limit my use of it, as I am leary and don't want to be accused of pirating or stealing or any of the evils we hear about when talking about online file sharing.
I also visit another site that is fun and music related. It's called projectplaylist. Here you can search for music and build a playlist, and then you can post it on your website or myspace page.
Here's a playlist I built:
