A friend a work linked me to this. It's a neat javascript package. It's an extension off of Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) Library. It is called yui-ext.
If you are not familiar with YUI, it "...is a javascript library that is a set of utilities and controls, written in JavaScript, for building richly interactive web applications using techniques such as DOM scripting, DHTML and AJAX. The YUI Library also includes several core CSS resources. All components in the YUI Library have been released as open source under a BSD license and are free for all uses." (Quote from http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/.)
This library takes the YUI another level. It is a bit hefty at a 345kb js file download for the users.

Musicovery
I found this site courtesy of http://www.i-am-bored.com. The name of the site is Musicovery. This is a site where you can listen to music based upon your "Mood" or "Dance" setting. You can also select what kinds of genres that you do and don't want to listen to, the time frame of music, and whether they are hits or not.
The program maps songs in an order and gives you the ability to pause the current song or to switch to the next song. As you switch to the next songs in the list, it updates the song "map." The site also provides links to Amazon and iTunes so that you can buy the track.
For an example, the settings I chose were a high tempo with dance being middle of the road. I also chose to have music only in the 2000's and to play hits and non-hits. With the genre's of: rap, R & B, metal, rock, vocal pop, pop, electro, soundtrack, funk, and disco.
I got results such as: Killers, "Mr. Brightside"; Type O Negative, "Life is killing me"; Gorillaz, "Clint Eastwood"; Will Smith, "Men in black"; Armand van Helden, "Come Play With Me"; American Hi Fi, "Flavour of the week"; White Stripes, "Blue Orchid"; Rihanna, "Pon de replay".
I think this is a pretty neat site.
