Our final 10 sites in the music category of the Open Web Awards feature some familiar names, such as Last.fm, Pandora, Imeem, and AmieStreet. So far though, a number of up-and-comers are also seeing plenty of votes, making this one of the more competitive categories. Vote for the site you’d like to see make it to the finals after checking out all of the nominees:
8tracks - social music networking site that lets you create 30 minutes of music, which roughly translates to 8 tracks.
Amie Street - music discovery site with recommendations and the ability to view your friends' playlists through an easy-to-read interface. Amie Street was recently redesigned.
Fairtilizer - music search and discovery site with tools for artists and labels to share their music with the rest of the world.
imeem - social music network with free streaming from all four major labels. Also recently introduced a mobile application.
JamsBio - allows you to share music and discuss it with the community. Over 5 million songs have been added to the site and Mashable took a deep look under the hood in October.
Last.fm - social sharing site that recommends music based on your listening habits. Last.fm has a iPhone application and is owned by CBS.
MixMatchMusic - social music community for both artists and listeners. Artists profit from collaboration and can communicate directly with their fans.
NoiseTrade - connects artists with fans to raise awareness of music and profits.
Pandora - lets you create your own radio station and recommends music based on your personal preferences.
Sellaband - tool for artists to promote themselves and to receive funding from their very own fans.
