Internet radio Rocks!

[Tripleshot]

Who needs napster? With internet radio you can get any style music you like pumping heart stopping beats through your soundblaster card and 5.1 digital theater speakers. Slap on some headphones,and all the monday blues just drift into space.

Especially when you plug your puter into your stereo.

No doubt! I live in a town that plays music thats 20 years behind the times. Nothing new unless it was new 20 years ago. Internet radio solves that problem nicely,and its fun to adjust the environmental settings on my SB card to maximize effect. My home stereo is not surround sound. My puter is!

Most of the radio stations where I live no longer are able to do that, something to do with legal rights and the RIAA.

you can be like me and run your own.. so thats fun. but i just do it so i can listen to my own music at work w/o having to bring in my own cds.

Thought about setting up some kind of streaming music for my house and my work, might just have to load up a bunch of mp3s on the laptop so I don't have to stay connected but what did you use to do the streaming radio? And does it just run a playlist or can you select what ones you want?

I'm just using windows media player,and it has a large selection of various radio stations to listen to. I am listening on a PIII 600 ans SB LIVE with a cable modem hook up. Many stations stream at 28.8 56.6 and 100,so you have a large choice there too.


BTW,I have the latest Real player,and it doesn't hold a candle to Windows media player. I am really steamed that Real player wants $9.95/mo. for service now. They can S--t and fall in it before I support them anymore!
