musics

I've been using Pandora for quite some time, and I'm always interested in new (free) music sites. While I like Pandora, it seems the main point of it is to broaden one's musical horizon, but I don't always want that. I want to hear a particular song, and when I type the song title in Pandora, I get a message:

Our music licenses do not allow us to let you replay or rewind a specific song, or to play a particular song or artist on demand.

This is also why you cannot have more than one station seeded by a particular artist.

Poop. If I'm in the mood to hear a particular song, I need to hear that song, not one that Pandora thinks is similar in style. I go to meebo or last.fm or songza and I can search for a song and play it. Over and over if I want. It's lovely. Not quite sure how we could make use of this in the library, other than background music for a program, or having a patron on the Internets with headphones listening while checking their email and such. For me, however, it rocks. I'm listening to last.fm right now, finding songs that I've been looking for for quite a long time. If I'm aways from my computer, I still have my Ipod to save my sanity, and no-- cd's aren't dead. We still have to back up our data somehow. Cassettes. They're dead.
