I just found these two incredible programs: Pandora (http://www.pandora.com) and Ourtunes (http://ourtunes.sourceforge.net).
Ourtunes is something that looks on your local network for any shared itunes and lets you copy their shared songs to your hard drive (like itunes used to be able to do before Apple removed it). It's in beta, so it has a few quirks (like it can't handle passwords right now), but it's pretty sweet.
Pandora is amazing. You tell it a song you like, and it analyzes the song for instruments, tone, pace, etc, and gives suggestions that are similar. It's free for 10 hours, and then $12 for 3 months, or $36 for a year. No commercials, and definately worth checking out. It doesn't have Every song (obviously), but it definately has a lot, and it has really good "taste" :)
