Update - Maybe even better?

In case you missed the great tip from Aaron in the comments of the last post, apparently Pandora has some competition.  Last.fm has a very similar application to Pandora.  Same idea - you enter your favorite groups or artists and they create customizable playlists.  The one advantage I see is that with Last.fm, you can create a widget to embed the Last.fm player on your website or blog and your most recent playlist will play on your blog.  That's a neat feature.  I haven't dug into the licensing of that player yet, so I'm not sure if you can use it on commercial site (read - one with advertising), but I would guess it will be fine on a personal site/blog. UPDATE: It turns out the widget only plays a sample of the songs you listen to, not the entire thing - bummer!

I'm going to compare the two over the next few days and see if I prefer the playlist from one over the other. Either way, competition only means that these applications will get better which is great for all of us.

Thanks Aaron for the heads up.  If you appreciate the tip, check out his blog  - Hot, Loud and Dangerous.  Maybe that will get him posting again - wink, wink!
