Finetune: Free Internet Radio

Internet radio and music recommendation service Finetune streams tracks from your favorite artists, and lets you create and share playlists online. UK geek Joe Anderson explains: Playlists are 45 tracks long; if you can't fill in all of these slots, the site will fill in songs it thinks you'll like into it. An annoying limitation, which I suspect is for legal reasons, is that you can only include 3 songs by 1 artist in any given playlist. You can also only play a song once... An interesting social feature of the site is that playlists get given URLs which you can share. Also, finetune provide the code to embed playable playlists (which are all Flash) into sites such as MySpace or your blog. For those of you outside the U.S. who don't have access to Pandora, Finetune looks like a promising alternative. — Gina Trapani finetune [via Webby's World]
