Internet Radio - Comments Page 1

I found a good application. Not sure if it would be classed as internet radio but basically you type in the name of a band/artist, the name of a song or the name of an album to hear the sounds you enjoy. Favourites can be saved as such and can be played from a playlist. The free version includes some audio ads, but they are few and not intrusive. You don’t get bugged to upgrade. I have been using it for a few months and nothing nasty has happened, no adware, trojans etc that I am aware of. (And I am pretty security conscious and aware.)
If you can’t find a track by name, try searching the artist. The track you want to hear will often turn up in the artist list. I think there were only two or three tracks I couldn’t get. One of those I have been trying to find for years and nobody has heard of it either on the internet or in specialist stores. And I do like some rare old stuff!
I have tried several of these applications and this one hits the spot for me.
Give it a try. http://www.spotify.com/en/

Thanks for all the great articles, Bob.

the one i like is nexus radio. it is very hard to beat

The problem is that most radio stations are they Rock & Roll or talk. I have found "The Radio.com" you have a choose the kind of music.

Why listen to someone else's radio station when you can create your own for free?

I have my 350 CD's I ripped to mp3 and have stored on my computer.

You just need winamp, icecast server and oddcast encoder.

Also requires setting up your router to pass the stream on the port you specify.

Takes a little work to get it all up and running, but you can create multiple play lists based on taste/mood.

Since I'm outside the US many services are unavailable to me. For radio, not listening recommendations, I use Streema.

May I suggest a free Internet radio program that rocks. It's better than the paid applications. You can even record the Internet Streams to mp3. No ads, no spyware. The application is called Nexus Radio. Can be downloaded at http://www.nexusradio.com/

Since I am a DJ on DDCT radio, I think that DDCT radio is the BEST station on the net ! NO commercials, just good music 24/7 !
We broadcast in 24Kbps, mono so that you don't loose too much bandwidth toand you can keep surfing while listening.
Check it out at http://67.19.213.74:8000
I have my "DJ44 show" every Saturday from 6 till 8pm EST, and I usually play rock music from more "unknown" bands. Just check it out !

(And to "JOE" : if you get tired of listening over and over to your own CD's : we have about 50,000 songs ready for you to listen to !)

Batanga( good latin, salsa, flamenco, tex-mex...)

Lucky 777 (contempo smooth listening.....)
