(via)"The LastFM Open Mind Index (OMI) is an interesting way to understand your taste in music. The index is a calculation based on your last.fm top artists of the last 12 months. The quantity of your played songs, as well as the artist-tags are reflected in the calculation. A high OMI is an indicator for a high musical bandwidth and your openness for different kind of music."

RIAA Radar
by 2 othersThe RIAA Radar is a tool that music consumers can use to easily and instantly distinguish whether an album was released by a member of the Recording Industry Association of America.
The RIAA Radar works in two ways: if you're looking to stop buying RIAA releases, it will help tell you what albums to avoid (or purchase secondhand); if you are looking for new music or new alternatives, it works to promote non-RIAA releases by providing similar RIAA-free albums to almost any RIAA release, and RIAA-free popularity charts for several genres in order to showcase viable alternatives.

Favtape: Mixes Don't Get Any Faster Than This | Listening Post from Wired.com
"Muxtape is also really cool," Sit explained, "but you need to manually upload the MP3s, which makes it a drag to create a muxtape and update it." FavTape solves both problems by grabbing song URLs from SeeqPod to power an on-demand service that creates Muxtape-like web page mixtapes out of your Pandora or Last.fm favorites.

WikiFM = Last.fm + Wikipedia
by 1 other (via)You are supposed to be able to listen to an artist and read their Wikipedia entry (if one exists) at the same time. I say supposed to, because when I tried it I was only able to get it to play music similar to the artist.

AccuRadio - Internet radio - 320 channels organized by genre
The best thing about AccuRadio is that there are so many channels and sub genre channels to explore. The worst thing about AccuRadio is the rather poor sound quality, because music is streamed at only 32 kbps. Why stream at such a low rate? According to AccuRadio, "we stream at only 32 kbps, which makes for a good-sounding Internet radio station but is not a quality level that most consumers feel is a substitute for CD ownership." If you can handle the low sound quality, Accuradio is a great way to discover new artists.
