I miss last.fm, but I'm now using Rhapsody. I pay $4.99 a month, and can do on-demand streaming. According to pp. 86, 87 of the 22.03 issue of Wired magazine (Questlove on the cover, "Love Music Again" the relevant article, ran a couple of months ago, and probably available at your local library), Rhapsody had a then-current track count of 20 million tunes.
Rhapsody has plenty of older tunes, a nice "Playlist" feature (e.g., "The 50 Best Tunes of 1968," etc.), and I can usually read a review of a new album in, say, the New York Times and find that Rhapsody has it available for streaming on-demand. One thing to be mindful of: The default price for a Rhapsody subscription is $9.99, which allows streaming for a mobile device. This was the subscription that I first had, although I didn't care about using a mobile device; I wanted to use only my home Squeezeboxes. Someone on this forum told me how to obtain the $4.99 a month subscription, which works for my Squeezeboxes just fine. I don't remember how I did this, but with a little digging in this forum or elsewhere you should be able to figure it out. Reading the Wired magazine article provides data on all the streaming services. You might want to give it a read, before you make your decision.
