Totally agree with russic on the usage of Rdio. Personally, I have a lot of friends who suggest music to me, I look it up on Rdio and make a note to listen to the artist's music.

You CAN create a bit of a playlist for an artist by searching for the artist and then play the artist radio, but it's not really well implemented in my mind. Too much of the same artist, not enough of artist discovery. I see that coming down the road though.

I love new music tuesday though.. so many things to give a try. That always helps me find new tunes. One of the strongest things about Rdio though is using it concert with Shazam.. say you are watching some show or a commercial, or hear a song on the radio and you're like.. what is that awesome music! You find out who it is, search for it on Rdio and listen to the rest of the album without searching for a torrent or buying it.

They also just implemented the ability to listen to your library like a radio station, which I think of like putting your iTunes at home on shuffle. So now you have that ability on demand, on the road, at work, wherever you have your mobile phone.

Plus with the syncing you can listen to stuff offline (for a while) to take on road trips. I downloaded a couple of Sasquatch playlists that others made for bands playing this past year and listened to that on the drive.
