So, both last.fm and Pandora are unavailable in Europe (for zero price, I mean). Anybody knows alternatives ?

        That's not true. You can choose to make an account or use your Facebook one.

        Only FB is what I'm seeing: http://s11.postimage.org/dhgy3pnvn/deezer.png http://s11.postimage.org/dhgy3pnvn/deezer.png Can't create an account with my own mail id.

        It doesn't look like you tried very hard. I'm in the US so I cannot verify but there are mentions of Deezer accounts on the page. Either click the link to login with your Deezer account (there will be probably be a signup link nearby) or close the facebook box in front and click the signup link in the top right.

        Right, i just looked.. On the mainpage it says rightbelow the big fat FB login button "you don't have facebook? Sign up here" which opens a sign up form for deezer

        Do check the image I linked above. From my country, only FB signup is allowed. I clicked around all the buttons on their homepage, top, bottom, etc. Wikipedia seems to agree: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deezer#Facebook http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deezer#Facebook I guess it depends on a country-to-country basis. EDIT: Deezer itself says only FB is the option: http://support.deezer.com/customer/portal/articles/138981-how-do-i-register- http://support.deezer.com/customer/portal/articles/138981-ho...

http://www.bloom.fm http://www.bloom.fm are a London startup that launched last week with a killer app. iPhone only for now but their stations are really strong and the app is well designed.

  They had a Web App before (under a different name) and also dekstop clients. The team is made of amazing people.

I believe http://www.rdio.com/ http://www.rdio.com/ is now available in Europe. They posted earlier this past Summer that they'd be launching across Europe "soon".

  We are available in some, but not all, European countries.

Not very polished but I hooked the last fm API up to a YouTube search... http://fmix.heroku.com http://fmix.heroku.com Enter a song for similar songs, an artist for that artist's popular tracks

There is really only Grooveshark, all the others are crap since they assume that because you like a few songs by a particular artist then you like similar artists too -- or even other songs by that artist. The annoying thing about that is that I tend to fall in love with a song either because its message resonates with me or because of the beat.

I just found http://www.reverbnation.com http://www.reverbnation.com a while ago. Not sure yet what it's worth, but I will give it a try.
