Spotify Premium ($9.99/mo)
There is one annoying hitch, but I have a solution. For whatever reason, Spotify doesn't let you clear your play queue. (The world is mad, and all that.) The solution is simple: (1) Create a new playlist called 'Clear play queue', (2) add only this track (one second of silence) to that playlist, and (3) double-click the 'Clear play queue' playlist whenever you want to clear your play queue.
Spotify has no radio functionality on Android devices for some ungodly reason. It's a shame, because they have the best radio of any streaming music service I've yet to try (it gives me better recommendations than even Pandora). I think Spotify Premium is worth it despite that, but some may not.
Edit August 9 2012: Spotify for Android now has the same radio as its mobile and PC varieties.
I'm actually really sad they don't have the same radio functonality on my computer as they just added to my iPhone. I agree the radio is awesome. Even if their recommendations weren't as good, the option to immediately add shit to your own "collection" is awesome. Infinite skips, also great.
It's also worth noting that spotify lets you easily import your own mp3s, so you don't have to worry about only having access to stuff on their servers, you can listen to a mixture of your own stuff and their stuff on both your computer and mobile device.
If you don't need mobile streaming (phone/tablet), you can go with the Unlimited service at half the price ($4.99/mo) for the same library and features to any computer.
If you use Right-click, Queue, instead of double-click, you can delete items from the play queue.
The spotify queue can contain "implicit" and "explicit" items, and you can only remove explicit ones from your queue. (Unless you use the trick I specified above.)
