The only feature I use on iTunes is to look up different artists and preview clips of their songs to see how they sound. Are there any sites out there that do this and have thousands of artists in their database?

Last.fm has a lot of full length albums available for free listens on their site. You can listen up to 3 times. They also have a lot of previews to songs.

YouTube, Last.fm and there is another one which streams entire songs but I don't know its name. Think it began with a "Z" and someone may have mentioned it.

Music sites in general have previews of songs. Lastfm.com and Amazon.com also have previews.
