I saw your post about mp3, and I wrote a comment. But I guess you had the answer long time ago.
But talking about music, try this site: www.last.fm/
Just write the name of your favourite artist, and off you go! The site is trying to find also other music of the same kind for you, and plays it like a radio.
If you make a profile there, the site will learn more and more about your taste.
I use to record the music from there, with an application called “Audio Hijack Pro”. That is a Macintosh application, but I guess there are similar applications for PC.
