Modern Minstrels

Last.fm

I recently set up a Last.fm page, so now anyone can see the shear magnitude of my current Death Cab obsession. . It's a great way to share your musical interests and discover new bands. There really wasn't much to setup. I installed the iTunes Audioscrobbler client set up on both my Powerbook and my work computer and then just listened to my music. It uploads the current track and then as you get a large track listing built up it computes charts of top artists, top songs, etc. Then it links you to "neighbours" who have similar musical interests. Finally, everyone has a personal radio, so you can stream your music, or someone else's. Great for the occasional day when I forget to take my iPod at work. The service is completely free, though they request a donation for using the radio after 30 days of use. I definitely recommend giving it a try.
