Go to www.pandora.com
Go to the station in question
Go to your station profile page. Here's an example from one of my stations: musicforhackers.
Search for the section titled " Thumbed-down Songs "
Find the song in question, and delete it from the " Thumbed-down Songs " section.

I kind of like The 61. It's a website targeted at people who want to discover new music. I found some pretty cool stuff there, but there's also lots of crappy songs.
From what I know, it works without geographical limitations. I listen to it in Czech Republic without a problem.

I'd like to second the Grooveshark recommendation, though I either don't have enough points to comment on the original reply (or just don't know how).
In any case, a key advantage to Grooveshark over Pandora is that you can play any song you want at any time, and can even replay it. Sometimes I get a song stuck in my head and I just want to hear it right ...

From the Pandora FAQ
There are two types of skip limits:
All Pandora listeners are limited to 6
skips per hour, per station.
Listeners to the free Pandora service
are limited to 12 total skips per day,
across all stations.
NOTE: The hourly limit is based on a
rolling sixty-minute interval for each
skip. So if you give four skips ...

Jamendo.com is your friend: they are a primary destination for CC-music.
Edit: also thesixtyone.com has a separate section devoted to Creative Commons: http://old.thesixtyone.com/#/cc/

Listening to the song would have added it to your library. Think of your library as pretty much every song last.fm has counted as a "listen" or "scrobble".
How these scrobbles are counted depends on which client you use to listen to them with. For example, the last.fm desktop client has a setting that lets you decide how much of a song you need to listen to ...

Album Reminder will do this for you. It can read your favorite artists from iTunes or last.fm, or you can just enter them manually. Then it'll send you an email when one of those tracked artists releases something new. Or, if you prefer, you can subscribe to an RSS feed of reminders about those artists.

How do I verify my Page to use the Music Player?
The process to upload music using the Facebook Music Player application has changed.
In order to upload music to your Page using this application, you will need to provide an electronic signature to an agreement that confirms that you either own the copyright to the content you will be uploading or that you ...

MusicBrainz is the most comprehensive database that I know of. It's not very user-friendly, though--it's just a raw database.
Last.fm is a nice alternative, but it's not quite as comprehensive. Also, the content is mainly user-generated, which means there may be some mistakes in labeling. Still, it gives some cool statistics and has some other neat features ...

YouTube reported that there was a copyright claim against my video.
A claim not a violation.
Music Publishing Rights Collecting Society is the generic name given to represent organizations that collect royalties for music.
YouTube most likely has contracts with many collecting agencies and just clumped them under one name. It's just an indication that ...

The closest you can do right now is to star/favorite your music. You click on the star icon next to the track and it'll go into your starred tracks (it is under Library/Starred).
You might want to suggest this as a feature in Spotify's suggestion box.

I wrote and asked about it to Pandora, this was the reply and it does work.
When you want to edit your station in any way, roll-over the station you'd like to edit, click the arrow next to options, then select Station Details.
On the station page, scroll down and you will see the Thumbs-up and Thumbs-down. By checking the x to the right of the song name, ...

You can:
create a regular playlist,
name it TO-LISTEN-LATER or something similar
send or drag'n'drop track to this playlist.
Later you'll listen to these tracks and decide what to do with them (remove, move to other playlist, etc).
I know it's obvious, so I'm guessing you don't like something about this idea. Let me know what it is.

It's not an equivalent to Pandora, which I too miss since it was limited to the US, but I'd recommend NPR's First Listen. They allow you to listen to albums that have not yet been released. Each album is available for a few weeks so only a few albums are available at any given time. However, they have a great taste, and it's well worth watching their list.

I love Grooveshark but I've been using various other sites as well depending on how I feel, most have been recommended already:
The Sixty One
On thesixtyone, new artists make music and listeners decide what's good. We're nurturing a growing ecosystem where talented folks can sell songs and merchandise directly to their fans.
Uvumi
Our mission ...

I believe you can find some good inspiration by looking a question that was answered not too long ago:
"What are some good, personalisable online radio / music apps?"
Should be lots of good choices, set up with pros and cons, and already rated.

This is the best I could find. You can tweak the pitches by cents, play several preset series of pitches, and save your settings, but I don't think you can create your own series of pitches.

From the FAQ:
What are levels?
Levels represent your skill or experience in choosing good music on thesixtyone. Leveling up unlocks bonus features like the ability to heart a song more than once.
What do I get for each level?
For each level, you can give one more heart per song (past level five) and are given one additional heart to spend ...

Artists of songs without a CC license have opted for all rights to be reserved.
So if you do not see something similar to the following (The icons to the right of the genre)
Then all rights are reserved.

I did some preliminary research and came up with the following list:
icheckmovies.com
fffilm.com
narvoo.com
lunch.com
flixster.com
flickchart.com
filmfresh.com
filmcrave.com
criticker.com
imdb.com
nanocrowd.com
themovietracker.com
None of these satisfied me.
Spurred by this, a couple of friends and I have developed SeenTh.at
Our plan is to blend a very ...

Open Drive will work for what you want. I currently use it to host music files I want to play from a playlist on a forum portal page. It is free to sign up, and there is limited bandwidth and space for the free accounts, but copright isn't an issue. Once uploaded, there are a few options. You can examine the file properties and get a streaming link, or a ...

Facebook wanted to avoid being another MySpace, so it appears that they deliberately made it difficult-to-impossible to post pure audio links.
However, you can post video links galore to Facebook, so what I've done with my audio recordings (generally of my brother, who's a professional tenor) is turn them into a video slide show using Fotomagico or ...

http://soundcloud.com/
SoundCloud is an online audio distribution platform which allows musicians to collaborate, promote and distribute their music. It has sometimes been described as being for audio what Flickr is for photos, or Vimeo is for video.
From Wikipedia
Hope this helps.

I was going to recommend turntable.fm, but I just gave it a quick spin around the Google News machine and find that international users are now locked out of their service. Bummer!
But! I believe Listening Room will do something similar, although each user in a room has to upload a song to play it (instead of selecting it from an online catalog). I can't ...

http://www.jampri.com does exactly that. You sign in with Facebook connect and can create a playlist that only you and your friends can add songs to it. As the playlist creator you can decide which songs stay inside. You and everyone else can also vote on songs up/down etc. Try it out. Oh, it works with youTube videos so you find and add to playlist ...

Poppley
Poppley is a website that matches the kind of thing you have mentioned. You can find new movies, discover what your friends have enjoyed and rate and review the movies you have seen. [Disclaimer: I helped to build Poppley and am a big fan of several of the sites in this genre!]
If you get a chance to give Poppley a try, then feel free to add ...

CDBaby and Tunecore are two big players in helping independent artists sell their music, through both iTunes/Amazon stores (without huge cuts).
Tunecore, among them, works through iTunes, Myspace, Amazon, Spotify, eMusic, Shockhound, Zune and Nokia music stores, imvu, thumbplay and others, which is a decent selection.

Assuming you have some web space from your ISP it might be easiest to upload them there and link to them on your profile.
If you create a sub folder and (if possible) set the rights on it so no one can list the contents then it will be harder (but not impossible) to get to them without the direct link.
