I just saw this, it's pretty cool. I went to Jamendo.com to take a look
around, and had a sense of Deja vu.

In 1999, I set up the infrastructure for a site called epitonic.com,
which partnered with independent labels (SubPOP being one of the big
ones) to offer streaming music and free downloads. We had reviews, genre
walkthroughs with history and photos, and a personal locker area where
you could create your own playlists and share them.

Alas, we were a bit too early - portable music was just taking off, and
we got lumped into the MP3=PIRACY mindset the recording industry was
painting music on the internet with.

It came back briefly in the late 2000s, but disappeared again.
