Musicovery.com
Musicovery.com allows you to create a play-list of songs based on the mood that your seeking by filtering music by genres and time, then selecting a mood within each category; dark, energique, positif, or calme. It’s somewhat like a streaming radio station that you have a bit off control over, but you can’t save, bookmark, or copy any names quickly. Otherwise, the visaul layout is compelling enough to play with for a bit and personally I grooved to the “Calm Funk” with a bit of “positif” stream that I am now listening to.
Other music aiding services I’ve looked into are: Yahoos LaunchCast (I use this, my station), pandora.com, and Blogmusik.net.

You realize that you can click on the British flag to get the english version, right?

heya, yup, i knew about the english version..but i kinda like the emotion that comes out in the french words which do the emotions justice…

I think Last.fm is the best one out there still. It has the function “I’d like to hear music which sounds like *artist*”.

I’ve used Pandora before; it’s cool. I do enjoy Last.fm a lot though, you can view my recently played tunes at http://www.last.fm/user/since76 . The Musicovery site is tight, I really like how you can adjust everything from the era to the mood to the genre – even hit versus non-hit. This one is definitely going into my del.icio.us bookmarks!

speaking of Last.FM and interesting database-driven visualiztions: http://audiomap.tuneglue.net/ -perhaps not as amazing as Musicovery, but still kinda neat for at least 2 minutes.
