Social playlist sites usually share what everyone is listening to with one another. These type of sites enable people to discover music based on what other people with similar tastes are listening to. For an indie musician this is extremely powerful since if you maintain a presence at these sites, you are likely to get discovered by those people who are already predisposed to like your type of music. In many ways, these are some of the best ways to discover new music (what radio used to do).
We did our best to start this category, but if you know something that isn't listed here that would be useful, please add it. And if you see something that's listed, but it's incomplete, please add to it!

An online web presence for music sharing, with a Digg -like voting system so that fans can decide which songs will be highlighted. Extremely well designed and addictive, with a game-like atmosphere where listeners use points to bump songs, and earn points from songs. Artists gain points when songs are bumped to take them to the next level. Picture Pacman, but with music.
