AccuRadio

A nice internet radio station with many different channels with the possibility to build your own, based on the existing ones. Feels more like the usual radio station, due to occasional sponsored advertisements or accouncements, which cannot be skipped.

Ghostly Discovery

Another mood-based music discovery tool, however the featured music is selected from their Ghostly International and Spectral Sound catalogs, so somewhat different than 'the usual'.

Moof

Moof is a streaming music website which uses YouTube as the source of music. You can save music, build playlists or upload your music library in xml format. Moof can also be used as a backup solution for your iTunes library. It's not the greatest streaming solution, but it is different and therefore interesting.

Nature Sounds

Create your own mix of natural sounds effects. Choose from a selection of animal sounds or natural phenomena, affect the volume or the occurrence of the individual effects. The finished sound mix can either be saved as a link and shared with friends, or you also have the option to save the finished sound to your hard-drive. Super-sweet!

Pulsate

Pulsate is an audio tool for all those who, literally, like to play with music. It's an online musical toy to have fun with, or with which to experiment. Click on the pad to create a circle. The cirles create sound when they touch another, and the pitch of the sounds depends on the size of the circle. It's quite magical.
