I like Last.fm, perfect for when I'm out with a laptop, you can favourite certain tracks whilst they play and the plug-in automatically plays more similar. Also its fun to see a detailed list of what you've listenned to online and then be linked to the albums to buy your most listenned to tracks0

You can "scrobble" what you listen to onto Last.fm through Winamp and also through We7 if you set up a free login and enable it in settings
I like We7 too.

Last.fm would annoy me immensely if I was using it as my primary music source as many of the tracks I want to listen to are unavailable or are only thirty second previews.
I do listen to a lot of new music though so perhaps older stuff is more available on Last.fm. For the best new music, the Hype Machine (hypem.com) is fantastic - it's free and doesn't have ads, although I think you have to register to listen to more than three tracks in a row.
Other than that, the paid versions of Spotify and we7 are great - we7 is particularly useful as it works within a browser so you can listen at work and home. But for a similar service that's free, try grooveshark.com0 -
I use iTunes and my iPod for listening to my music collection, but I always scrobble. This means that Last.fm has learnt my music taste and when I listen to my personalised radio station I get a good mix of my music, plus artists or songs that I've never heard before, meaning that I actually expand my taste. Also, there are forums and communities on there to discuss music. For me it's a good replacement for listening to radio.0

I recommend Shoutcast. You can use it with Winamp & other players, tons of genres of streaming music!! Approx 43,000 stations. Some great music on there.0
