I believe 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.

#28I hope there will be a way to export my listening data if they ever decide to stop offering their scrobbling service.
As I mentioned in another comment, I've used this script and it worked well. You can also migrate your data to libre.fm.

#29Last.fm seems to be slowly buckling under pressure from record labels. At some point recently at the behest of the labels, they started limiting the number of skips you were allowed on each station, to something absurdly low like 5. Not even subscribers are allowed more. It's a shame to see CBS's legal team put its concerns ahead of Last.fm and its users.
Last.fm was great before CBS, I used to use it all the time. It had one of the better algorithms out there for suggesting music and it introduced me to a lot of great bands after I'd been out of listening to music for a while. Then, for whatever reasons I just stopped using it.

I still think it's by far the best "here's a band, give me more like it" music suggester. Some how it understands the essence of the band I love and finds lots of bands that are just as good. And many of those bands are so obscure I don't know how I would have found them otherwise.
