If you have a computer (which you must), then you’re probably aware of the existence of sites like Pandora and Last.fm. These streaming music sites allow you to choose a particular taste of music and listen to artists that fall within those parameters. It’s great for hitting the gym, or getting a bit of work done during the day.

Sony has its own version of this streaming music software, called Music Unlimited. It’s sort of under the radar, but a recent PS3 software update is aimed at bringing it up to speed with its much larger competitors.

If you use Music Unlimited, or want to try it out, here’s what you’ll find in the new, updated version:

• My Channels – Allows you to build radio stations around an artist
• Dislike Button – Allows you to flag music you don’t enjoy
• Playlist creation on the fly

Of course, Sony has retained the membership fees, with a basic packaged running $3.99 per month. If you want unlimited playback, you’ll have to upgrade to the premium package for $9.99 per month.

Speaking as someone that’s never run over my free Pandora hours, I can’t imagine paying for streaming music. But, then again, I’m sure there are folks that burn up their music streams much more quickly than I.

So, what do you think of the Music Unlimited updates?
