Interesting new directory of "music 2.0" services, which includes the following useful categorization:
- Music
Services - places like iTunes and Rhapsody where you can purchase or subscribe to
music
- Music Discovery -
places that help you find music - these fall generally into 3 subcategories:
- Social -
wisdom of the crowds sites like last.fm, iLike. Goombah and Qloud
- Content-based -
recommendations based on the music content - Pandora, SoundFlavor, MusicIP
- Expert based - Music
recommendations from people - music blogs, irateradio.com
- Music
Experience Augmentation - sites to make your music listening experience more
enjoyable - music dashboards like sleevenotez or Snapp Radio
- Playlist
Sharing - this includes playlisting sites like MusicMobs, fiql and Webjay
- Music Metadata - add
to the data surrounding the music - MusicBrainz, All Music Guide, Gracenote
The content hasn't been fleshed out on a lot of those pages, but still it's a good
start and one to watch.

your forgot about Tamago (www.tamago.us). It may be a little raw, too futuristic for today's current thinker, but it is deffinitly tommorrow's leader.

Maybe I'm not getting it, but I think this needs a little/lot of work.
There are a good number of sites missing: allofmp3.com, amiestreet.com, finetune.com, ijigg, etc.
And the first bucket of 'music services' should be broken down to subcategories. not sure what would be right, but DRM vs. non-DRM and/or buy/download vs. subscribe/play. all music services are not created equal.

to John Kenney: you are probably right, however I see no Web 2.0 at allofmp3.com. You can consider http://www.mp3ninja.com a Music 2.0 website as well.
