Trance?!?! Meh.

Deep House. ;)

Actually, I think they just nixed the house channel and made Deep
House the default.

Last.fm and Pandora are also nice, and Mog.com is a "Music Blog" tool
which will catalog your entire music collection, even if the id3 tags
are incorrect, based on the waveform, in a privacy-safe way powered by
Gracenote/CDDB.  Applications like MusicMatch, iTunes, and many
players keep track of how many times something has been played and a
user rating.  By means of this, you can have a radio station which is
powered by the music preferences of a network of friends.

Of course, it's very proprietary and would not interoperate with a
competing service, but I met the founder, David Hyman, a past CEO at
Gracenote and VP of New Media or somesuch at MTV.  Smart guy, got a
lot of artists to sign up and, in fact, the idea was largely driven by
some of the artists, esp Bjork, who want to connect more closely with
their fans.
