Are there any programs out there where you play a song you like, and then it shows similar songs? There was an internet based one, but it was mainly open to Americans...?

Re: Music Help
I had heard that Pandora was going to be blocked in most countries, but I did not know that it is now blocked in Canada. That sucks. The closest thing I know is Last.fm's recommendation radio on their site. -
Re: Music Help
Why are countries blocking Pandora?

Re: Music Help
It has to do with recent rulings by the RIAA in regards to royalties and internet radio. This is from Pandora's blog a month back
They had to start blocking Canada about a week after that.Dear Listeners -
Tonight we began the heartbreaking process of blocking access to Pandora for listeners outside the U.S.
It's hard to think of anything more anathema to who we are than turning off someone's radio, but the current legal realities leave us no choice. While the DMCA provides us a blanket license in the U.S., there is no equivalent in other countries. After a year of work, only the UK and Canada have shown enough progress for us to feel comfortable allowing continued access.
For those of you around the world who received our early warning emails, thanks so much for your kind and understanding replies... humbling. It really means a lot to us (even though it makes it doubly hard to do...)
Trust that we will continue working as hard as we can to obtain the licenses we need, and to push for the establishment of effective, centralized licensing bodies around the world. Hopefully this kind of development will add some urgency to the need for reform in the administration of worldwide copyrights.
We will all eagerly await the day when we can turn this back on, so please stay close. To quote our CTO, Tom Conrad: "we'll take good care of your stations in the meantime."
Keep the faith...
