listening to the radio online
« on: May 27, 2008, 08:59:43 AM »
Anyone else do it? I'm wondering if it's worth it to sign up for this. http://www.live365.com/index.live if you become a "VIP", then you get commerical free broadcasts. Or, you can do what I do and listen free and put up the commericals (which is just like regular radio so I don't mind). You do get a pop up after a certain amount of time that reminds you you're listening free and "you can become a VIP...." and it tells you to re-select the station to keep listening. Clearly designed to get people to join.

Anyway, I love listening to music while I'm online. Any suggestions?

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I've been listening to Live365 for a few years now but I'm not a VIP member, I just put up with the commercials, no big deal.
I also listen to Pandora. I enter a band and they will make a station based on that bands musical stylings. I have station presets ranging from Black Label Society to Louis Armstrong. Best thing is there are NO COMMERCIALS!
www.pandora.com

Also there are plenty of commercial radio stations stream live audio.

thanks uhuh35! I saved that link. I'm a music junkie and would prefer to listen to the radio all day. I hardly watch any TV.

I used to listen to Southern Miss football games on the internet.  I am much more advanced now;  I stream the video, and watch it on about a 2 inch screen. :whatever:

yes, it's sad and pathetic, but it is part of my Saturday afternoon during college football season.

Go to playlist.com and create your own station playing exactly what you want to hear.  I think Project playlist great!

Live 365 is ok.  Pandora is better.  Projectplaylist is uniquely yours.

I like Pandora; I also do sirius online, which is a paid subscription. I happen to like their channel lineup.

Through Winamp you have access to literally hundreds of Online Radio stations.

For those of you that like "oldies" (the really old stuff from the '20s, 30's, 40's) you might try  www.krli.net

You will have commercials however.....

Another hi-five for Pandora. 

My local AM and FM talk stations have streaming audio (except for Coast to Coast AM).  I usually go there as well.

i stream Rush Limbaugh while I'm doing stuff online.. its worth the 6.95 a month just to hear his commercials, which are all the parodies they've created over the years and no actual advertising.

they overplay the Tom Daschle stuff at times, but its all hilarious :-)
