In the wake of the news of Pandora's probable and imminent demise and muxtape's RIAA related issues you may be looking for some good music news.
Well here are six sites that I've either recently discovered, have recently improved or continue to deliver as promised.
Deezer - French based site with a wealth of fully streamable CDs. Things are very hit and miss with many releases not available and some with only 1 to 4 songs available but a little patience pays off. High social factor as well.
Hype Machine - Long time MP3 blog aggregator has continued to improve interface and always has plenty of remixes and covers tough to track down elsewhere.
Songza - This site strips audio off youtube videos and allows you to save playlists in a unique but effective user interface.
Slacker - Despite the lackadaisical moniker, this site seems to be a real up and comer. Think customizable internet radio with a slick interface and mobility options. High profile mention in Paste magazine and tons of praise for its new hardware.
blip.fm - Twitter for music. 'Nuff said(?)
last.fm - I have complained about this site in the past and at times could not understand all the praise heaped upon it. But with recent additions of free full track streaming and a serious UI overhaul, last.fm is really starting to live up to the hype.
try this one its only urban at the moment but is going to branch into new genres this year

I've found the best place to get music online is http://jimmyr.com
It uses customized google searches to comb the Net's directories for MP3 files.
