    Best online/"cloud" music playing site?

    By "online music collection" site, I mean a website where I can listen to music on my home computer streamed through the web.

    I got onto the Lala.com bandwagon but I'm finding that their online music collection aggregation doesn't read all of the ID3 tags on my MP3s correctly. Can any one suggest any alternatives?

    Requirements:
    * Synching to Last.fm
    * An N900 app / platform-independent desktop client would be nice

    Thanks!

    www.imeem.com
    this is where I would go for free online streaming of music.
    www.pandora.com
    this is an another option which I rarely use.

    Maybe I don't quite get what you're asking, but I don't see why you would need a third party site for that. (Streaming your own music from your home computer, that is.)

    Wouldn't a web frontend for the music application of your choice suffice? (e.g. amaroK frontend or browseamp for winamp)

    I like how you keep adding to the post

    Well, I use Songbird for the Mac, and there doesn't seem to be a streamer front end. iTunes is out because it's too restrictive. So, I'm confronted with having an online manager.

    iMeem's interface was awful, I signed up and added a few songs and had to simply stop. And as I said, Lala is fine, except it misreads my tags (particularly Genre).
