This is generating some interest on slashdot today, they run out of France where the environment is obviously a little more hospitable to this kind of service (compare it with Pandora).

"Our concept is simple:
-Give consumers a full and free access to all their favourite songs
-Pay artists and their producers through a revenue share based on our advertising revenues
- Help discovering new artists through a wide audience"

Once you've made an account you can search for music and add it to a playlist kept on their server to listen to... enjoy!

I'm hoping this is going to stop me downloading music before I buy it to see if I like it.

I'm sure this'll work fine for some people, but unless this streaming is of insanely high quality, my net connection improves and I can somehow start burning these streams to CD, I won't be using it.

This looks pretty cool especially because i'm overseas right now and can't use pandora.  however it does seem that there selection is a little limited, but it could be because i'm looking for smaller american bands...
Oh well, i'll be back to visit it i'm sure!
