You can use your Android as a virtual jukebox thanks to easy Web-based music streaming.
There are a plethora of Web-based music streaming apps available in the Android Market. These apps make it a piece of cake to stream music from massive online libraries directly to your Android smartphone. The three most popular free apps available in the Android Market are Pandora, Last.fm and Slacker. The functionality in these apps is nearly identical in that each allows you to enter an artist or song title that is used as the basis for a radio station-like stream of music.
Instructions
Pandora
1. Tap the "Market" icon on your Android home screen. Tap "Search" and enter "Pandora" as your search query. Tap "Pandora Internet Radio" and then tap "Install." Tap "OK" and then enter your Android password to authorize installation, if prompted.

3. Sign in to your Pandora account or if you do not have one, tap "I am New to Pandora" and enter your email address, select a password and provide your age and then tap "Sign up."
4. Type the name of an artist or song in the provided search box, then tap "Search." This will create a new "Station." Pandora will play the artist or song you searched and music that is related to the artist as determined by the Pandora Music Genome Project.
