I use Grooveshark or Tinyshark for Android. When friends/colleagues mention music I might like, I search for it on my phone. I find it and add it to a playlist.
I can then play it in my ear, my car and when I get home.
Try it out - it's pretty cool.
I do of course still maintain a comprehensive digital library of my own.

Usually smaller, less powerful cars cost less than big fast ones. They also tend to be more fuel-efficient...
Although I'll admit, the traditional mindset in the US has been to buy vehicles with massive petrol engines and so there's probably a lot of second-hand ones about.
National Treasure (well the franchise really) - Suitably showcasing Nicolas Cage's complete lack of talent alongside suspension of disbelief-busting plot lines.
Piranha 3D - seriously, I can't even believe this made it to Blu-Ray. Usually I manage to finish even the blandest movies.
Yeah, there's this thing called a domain as well in the Windows world, there is similar functionality available for *nix systems, which involves using some kind of directory service as a central location for user accounts and passwords.
This normally means you don't have to update passwords on every box. That kind of thing would get very tiring on a network with thousands of users and machines.
I live on a housing estate in a primarily residential area. There are three adequate, completely unique ways to get to my street. There are several hundred houses on the estate.
Yet, anyone trying to navigate to my street will be taken down an unsurfaced dead-end road.
I have tried to kindly advise those who produce the maps to correct the issue. I sent e-mails containing a polite and thorough explanation to every relevant address I could find - this was at least six years ago. Not one even bothered to respond. Today all the maps still contain this error.
%Program Files% is simply a variable that contains the path to your Program Files folder. It does not matter on which partition you have configured that folder to reside. The folder will have the same permissions regardless of where it is located.
Even if you chose to install programs in a custom folder there is no reason why it could not be given the same ACL.
Non-useful advice. I have machines that don't even have a C: drive.
Yes, I have one of these. The problem is that 2xAA batteries do not power a smartphone for very long. On my old HTC Touch Pro 2 it didn't even supply enough current to charge the battery - it only provided about 40mins of additional usage time.
Still have to test with newer Galaxy Nexus as it has the wrong connector on it...
James, we have been expecting this product for a while now. Several deadlines have been missed and information has been sketchy.
When some are actually available for sale those who have parted with their cash have been told they MIGHT expect delivery in what, oh, about SIX WEEKS?
Then we learn via Twitter that they have not arrived from Asia yet and they still need to clear customs. To me this way of dealing with customers stinks of dishonesty.
When we see some pictures of a customer in the UK holding one of these mythical devices, that's when a sensible person will part with their money. Can't show me that picture? Then it is vapourware for now.
