Shed some light on the fact that I like music and listen to it while working? Wh...

Music lives in the cloud too.

I have several well-defined Pandora stations. I listen to some other sources as well (WWOZ, bassdrive.com, etc).

I used to argue for hosting my own email, now I don't even "host" my own music.

You're presuming an awful lot of things here.

* that one has a stable high-speed Internet connection.

* that one lives in a country where Pandora and other such services work.

* that the music one listens to can actually be found on Pandora and friends.

* for radio stations, that one likes or is ambivalent to not being in full control of the music one listens to.

* that one likes the web interface these services provide. I don't use a web interface for my e-mail, and I prefer foobar2000 for my music.

I have 40 GB of music (none of which is lossless, so there's a lot of it), a lot of which is relatively obscure (e.g. fewer than 500,000 plays for the artist on last.fm), and I don't see myself getting rid of any of it any time soon.
