Internet social radioplay. Seriously. I don't know what it is myself, except that it plays music and keeps track of your music, and you can run a thingy that auto-scrobbles your songs from your iPod/iTunes (scrobbling is transcribing the list of what you've listened to). It keeps track of lots of totally useless stats (for example, I have listened to MCR 2464 times by now) and it's got that social-networking side going on; it recommends artists to you based on what you tell it, and there are radio stations you can access that play music in the same vein - so if you select The Academy Is... radio, you'll get Fall Out Boy, Panic (!) at the Spambot, Jasey Rae, Sherwood, We The Kings, for example. It's not totally brilliant - I thought it scrobbled the entire contents of my iTunes when I ran their app, but it turns out probably not because I had to add stuff it was recommending to me so that it would go away.
