You can use it to listen to music you like, or find new music. I'm using it right now to listen to the same stuff my coworkers are listening to in our office while I work from home. Does that help?

It using last.fm to grab related artists and generate a playlist. Each playlist creates its own session that you can share with other people and watch in real time.

Here's an example: http://demiba.com/radio/red-hot-chili-peppers

We're using it at my job right now. It's great when everyone is wearing headphones but wants to listen to the same thing.

As for linking to last.fm accounts, its on the way. We're planning on making the 'favorite' button update your last.fm profile among other stuff.

Really great! This is would be a serious alternative to grooveshark if you could mashup some music database to be able to group the songs by album (and then make my session playlist be the album I choose). Adding songs to custom build my playlist would also be nice. And lastly can you make it able to filter only html5 youtube videos? I'm sometimes on a machine without flash and grooveshark doesn't run without it.
