Harry,
Pandora lets you "create" stations of music that fits your taste and you can have any number of stations. For example, I like Cecilia Bartoli so I created a station called Cecelia Bartoli and Pandora provides performances from her and other similar opera singers. You can tell Pandora that you like or dislike certain songs and it then tries to find others that you like and avoid those similar to what you dislike.
I have stations that run the gamut of my taste, for example, Placido Domingo, Dmitri Shostakovitch, Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis, Tchaikovsky, B.B. King, and Iron Butterfly. (I've got a bunch of others as well, along with the stations my wife created.)
Pandora offers a free and a paid version. I opted for the paid version because it is cheap enough ($36/year) and ad free. The free version interrupts the music with audio ads, which I found very annoying.
