IntoMusic
This niche site offers music from independent musicians releasing their own material - unlike many large portals, it chooses quality over quantity and has unique english quirkiness with reviews of the artists. It's a cross between an english music mag and an mp3 site. Nice design and some nice features.
My Space
Mmm...whatever happened to MySpace? Once *the* place you had to be, it's now relegated to a sideshow, a place where bands put a track just to tick the box. Still a huge selection of music to listen to, but really it's a waning power in the online music scene. BUT if it's too loud, you're still too old!
Acid Planet
Sony funded community site featuring streaming tracks created with the ACID Xpress package. This means you'll likely only get a particular flavour of music, but hey, it's surprisingly listenable stuff. Perhaps because the site charts are created from real people votes, so quality bubbles upwards. Definitely worth a listen.
