Yahoo music for 5 bucks
I have re-subscribed to the Yahoo! Unlimited music service. I tried it out for a bit and it's really great. $5 or $6 a month for everything you can possibly imagine. It really is a lot better than searching for p2p music and eventually hearing what you want. In fact, it makes me use both. I sample lots of stuff on the Yahoo service and things I really like for a while, I decide to search for and store on my iTunes machine (a machine where the Yahoo service doesn't even work). So I have two music worlds: the Yahoo "Music Engine" that plays through my main laptop and the attached stereo, and the iTunes/iPod/Mac Mini world that connects to my other stereos and portable players and car.
Still the $5 is worth it - it's like Netflix for music (convenient, unlimited selection, not a replacement for your "collection")
