Online Music listning sites?

So Ive had a few decent sites that I would listen to music online with, but they have went downhill and I need others. I used Dizzler for a while, but it started throwing viruses at me so I promptly quit using that. Immem was my go to until a bout a week ago. Is seems Myspace music has taken it over and they have completely ruined it. I used to be able to find everything on Imeem, now its just terrible. Ive tried Last.fm and its ok, but I cant always find what in looking for, the have good lists, but you cant listen to all of the songs. So is there anything out there like what Imeem was with a large searchable database of music for listening online?

MOG - Discover People Through Music and Music Through People is pretty awesome.

I dont use any since I find all of them to have appalling audio quality.


But if I HAVE to use one of them, it would have to be Pandora, I use it occasionally when I dont have access to my music.

pandora or last.fm. quality isn't always A+, but they're free (in the US, at least).

Like I said problem with Last fm is You can find a lot of songs, but 90 percent of them you cant play. Ive used it a lot to find stuff and inevitably every time I cant play the some Im looking for.

Pandora is good, but I cant really search for a single song.


I tried MOG, first song I searched for was a 30 second sample?? are they all like that?

What are you looking for that you can't play? Pink Floyd?

lol - j/k

I can usually play most stuff I find at last.fm - definitely more than 10 percent. And when I can't play something, I just play something else, broaden my horizons a little. What do you expect for free? "If you want to play, you have to pay."

Groovesharks ok it seems.

For example I was looking for a Nickleback song and it listed a bunch, but I couldn't play any of them. I can think of specifics, but there's been times I can remember not being able to find what I want. It doesn't have anything to do with broad horizons, Id venture to guess mine are at least as broad if not broader than most people around. Its just there are times I want to listen to a specific song is all.

Whats the deal with Pink Floyd?? you cant find them online? Ive actually never searched, but I love Pink Floyd.

Been using www.reciva.com on my notebook and I am very impressed. I am even considering an internet radio with the Reciva chip for the house.

I like Pandora a lot, but I would love it if there was a (paid) option to get at least a 192k MP3 stream, or maybe they could go all out and offer up a paid 256k AAC stream.

I'm not really sure of too many services that do what you want. Why do you want to be able to play a specific song anyway? Is it because your library is too big to take with you? If so, maybe you want to try to stream the music off your computer from home? I'm pretty sure there are a number of programs that there that will do that for you these days.
