I love lala just in general and have used it to upload my itunes library so that I can listen to my songs on any computer, but it has also linked me to songs that I couldn’t find on either youtube or the itunes store. And unlike the itunes store, you get to listen to the whole song once rather than just s 30 second clip.

Helped me once track down the Turtles’ “Happy Together”, among other things.
