Owl Multimedia Use your music to find new (Creative Commons licensed) music. OWL analyzes MP3s you feed it, from the specific part of the song you want to match, and will give you similar music to listen to. Requires a painless registration.

First test was a song by !!! and it matched it to 8 artists I'd definitely never heard before. Oddly, very disparate styles that the site seemed to think all matched the 3-second snippet of the !!! song. The instant MP3 upload tool is impressive. But compared to Pandora, this is kind of like surfing music on MP3.com a few years back after they were forced to remove all copyrighted material (i.e., not that interesting).

I like political folk songs -- how does it analyze for folk hippie liberal protest?
