MceFM is aplugin for Windows Vista Media Center that lets you stream music from Last.fm. All you have to do is type in the name of an artist or song and Last.fm will dig up music by that artist and then find similar songs you might like and start playing one song after another.
You'll need to sign up for a Last.fm account if you haven't already, because MceFM won't play a single note if you're not logged in. Once you're connected, all you have to do is enter an artist name and MceFM will connect to Last.fm, find your music and set up a playlist.
The plugin can also find music similar to songs and artists already on your computer. Just locate a track in your music library and then click the More button on your remote (or hit the Ctrl+D keys on your keyboard to bring up the context menu and select More), and you can search Last.fm for similar music.

Neat. I love Last.FM and Vista MC.
I don't know why more people won't "officially" develop for it. Media Center has an API for programmers to program. So where's the programmers?

The Windows Media Center combined with Orb (http://www.downloadsquad.com/search/?q=orb) and a Media Center extender (e.g. a Wii or Xbox) is a great solution for an Internet-ready TV. Adding MceFM, is really icing on the cake.
