This has to be the best music search / play tool so far!

I thought LastFM and MixTurtle were good but Spotify is amazing. So quick. A small download and you need to register but the free version has only modest advertising. Create playlists and you may agree that this is truly excellent and maybe the shape of how we listen to music in the future.

All I need now is a portable version.

Find and browse music

Nice site where you can play a full-length track. Good range of artists and quick search facility. There's a video and radio area too. LastFM has been around a while now and gathered some truly great resources.


Also worth a look is SEEQPOD which seems a little slower but allows iPOD integration and links to a whole lot more stuff you may like.
