I've just read about this new-fangled application called Spotify. It's basically like Last.Fm, except the tracks are streamed as if they are local files and there's no play limit.
It's still in the beta stage, and requires an invite to form an account, however, you can bypass that by heading straight to this page: https://www.spotify.com/en/get-started/ and claim your oh-so-cool account name early on, before all the good ones are taken up.
From playing around with it a bit, the tracks are a tad slow to play (but that may be down to a bad internet connection in my room) and it doesn't have a great catalogue of music (less-known bands often didn't appear at all for me). If it was allowed to expand though, as I'm sure it will, it could be amazing.

That link asks us to put in an invite code. Colour me disappointed, sir.

Yeah, uhh... if you could invite us that would be cool. It looks very interesting, and I'd certainly like to play around a bit and check it out.
Also, the video that they have is pretty cool, so... yeah. Invitations? :D
