   Nice list.. here's another one.

   http://www.pandora.com

   No commercials... they ask you questions concerning your type of music. They broadcast 3 songs and then you have to register. Registration is just an e-mail address confirmation. I think I've gotten 1 e-mail from them since I registered, which has been over a year now. Good site that narrows down your music interest to a tee.

   Thanks for that addition! I gave them a try, and was really impressed with their format and implementation. Great site!

   For some other sites like pandora.com and some "supporting software" that works very well with these sites, check out

   if you'd like Christmas music this month or all year round:
   http://www.christmasmusic247.com/

   at http://www.last.fm , if you take the time to listen to some of your own MP3s, eventually you can listen to a free radio station based on what people with similar interests are listening to.

   Might I suggest- http://www.slacker.com/

   I've been using it since it came on-line earlier this year and love it. NO COMMERCIALS, JUST MUSIC 24/7.

   Although navigating the user-interface takes some getting used to, it not only allows me to create free "stations" and pick my favorite artists, based on my ratings, I can limit it to just my favorite song titles. Other people can listen to my stations, (not that I want the world to know I only listen to old show tunes and live metallica concerts) but only I can decide what the content is. As Slacker expands their artist inventory, they claim they won't even have to fill the occasional gap with "similar artists". They've already got most of the artists I like, so that hasn't been a nuisance.

   Navigating starts by hunting for the tiny sign in hyperlink near the upper right of the main page.

   Go through the free registration process (no spamming that I've seen) and then follow instructions to create your own station and pick your artists. Note: You have to pick a certain number of artists (10 or 15?) for it to be treated as an active station)

   To the original free on-line webplayer service (which I love), they've added a Premium radio service, a software player, and now they're touting a portable version -
   http://www.slacker.com/products/portables/

   FAQs are buried. You have to click on one of the service icons here -
   http://www.slacker.com/support/

   Despite its non-intuitive layout, I'd rate Slacker 4.5 RadioTowers.

   Hi,
   I could never listen to Pandora, they have cut off Canada from their site :-(
   We listen to http://www.radioparadise.com a lot, no publicity, always good music, no repeats(loops). And not only good old ROCK&ROLL, but new *good* bands, no commercial crap, no stupid Pop fluff.
   So good, we decided to send a contribution to help out, it's a one man operation(Bill something).
   And ~2 months ago, they have integrated w Kiva!! :-)
   We also use Last.FM and iLike.
   The nice thing about iLike is they have a toolbar that attachs to iTunes, so each time you listen to music through iTunes, it adds to your profile.
   Bye, Manu

   Whilst searching for lyrics to backdrop a Hillary joke, Johnny Appleseed stumbled across a new free radio station called JANGO. Looks similar to SLACKER, hopefully with a more intuitive GUI. You can create your own custom radio music list (personal radio station concept), or just listen to singles. Registration required to buiild a list. Only drawback to listening to singles comes after a song ends and another "similar" song automatically plays. I didn't like that, would prefer to build a list.

   After sitting in the shade listening to this for a spell, Johnny Appleseed's decided to drop a musical seed called Radio Rivendell, billed as:

   ...the one and only fantasy radio station in the world playing fantasy music 24-7! We're streaming music for your gaming sessions being it the latest MORPG, pen-and-paper roleplaying or just as any type of background music.

   Click the link in the upper right corner to listen. No registration required. I was hoping it'd be strictly scores from LotR, but instead, it's more like listening to a melange of Magnatune's unknown artists and horror movie scores with a little Celtic thrown in just to confuse everyone. Also, there's more dead air time between songs than a commercial broadcaster could tolerate without busting a aneurysm. I like to imagine WKRP in Cincinnati's Dr. Johnny Fever is asleep at the wheel. BOOGER!!! So, if you click during the dead air break, never fear, it'll be back momentarily. You might like this, you might not. Don't shoot the messenger.

   FWIW, if you're a fantasy art fan, visit the Fantasy WALLPAPER forum. We're not talking talent like Boris Vallejo, but you might find something that appeals.

    I love Pandora. If you use it and like it send them an email to support and let them know. You'll like the response.

    Hi,

    It's a best channel ever been made in Jordan, I just found. I am crazy about it. There are lots of metal songs over there.

    LALA.com (as in LALA Land?) is the new Free Music Site on the block. (well, an old free music site that disappeared to revamp its flawed business model)

    They make you sign up before you can get a full tour, so pull out one of your disposable email addies. It offers ad free streaming music or low cost downloads. For a little background color on the site, read this.

    Relaunch is scheduled for today. Seems to be open already, but with a buggy browser interface... unless you maximize the browser, the window's vertical scroll disappears.

    The streaming is supposed to be free, but I encountered a nag screen that says I could listen to anything ONCE, but then had to put it in a "web locker" for unlimited use. Per the article, that costs a dime per tune lockered. UPDATE - when adding a song to the "web locker" you're told that the first 50 added are FREE, so maybe it's worth signing up after all. Perhaps this limitation will disappear after the relaunch is complete?

    Mmmmmm, NATURE
