    Where could I find a web site the generalizes different types of music
    possibly with samples, im sometimes confused as to the type of music im
    listening to and would like to be better informed.

    for example I have some music from people like:

    Kruder and Dorfmeister,
    Fila Brazilia,
    Orbital,
    Jazzanova,
    Ian Pooley
    Cesaria Evora,
    Rainer Truby,
    DJ Shadow,
    DJ Krush,
    St Germain,
    Daft Punk,
