I listen to either Pandora or Spotify when I want online music, and they both have some great features that I enjoy. If you haven't tried them, the basic idea is that you can customize your own radio station.
With Pandora, you choose a singer you like, say Kris Kristofferson, and they will play some of his songs, and mix it in with other similar songs and artists. You can modify the station by either liking, or disliking a song, but you can't choose which exact song it will play. You can add in other singers to a station, and you can also create new stations, so you can have as many different kinds of music stations as you like for different moods you are in.
Spotify is similar, except with Spotify, you can make a playlist, like you can with iTunes , and actually choose the songs you want to hear. You can also play your iTunes or Amazon playlists on Spotify.
However, unless you pay $10 a month for premium service, you can only do this on a computer, and not on an iPad or iPhone.
This fall Apple will also be coming out with iTunes Radio, which will be a similar program, and will be free for anyone who is subscribed to iTunes Match.
