Looking for new music? I found a great online application called Pandora, created by the Music Genome Project.
The Music Genome Project's goal is "to capture the essence of music at the most fundamental level". The project team is "a collection of musicians and music-loving technologists" who have "listened to the songs of over 10,000 different artists and analyzed the musical qualities of each song one attribute at a time".
Pandora allows you to leverage this musical analysis to discover new music based on your likes and dislikes. It's extremely simple to use, just enter the names of artists and songs that you like, and the engine plays music that is "genetically" similar to your selections. You can set up a free account and share your "station" with friends.
I created a station the other day, and it's already given me some great suggestions.
