I'd forgotten…

How much I missed having music as a regular thing in my life.

I was playing around with iTunes on my new computer. I didn't before because I can't afford to download songs from their store and in spite of having a Mac I worry about viruses et al from free sites.

However it turns out iTunes has access to hundreds of on-line radio sites. I've been sampling them and it's a lot of fun.

Currently I'm listening to Radio Paradise which has the sort of eclectic mix I really like.

So, what sort of radio stations do you listen to? If they're on line post a link so the rest of us can enjoy it.

XM satellite's Liquid Metal channel. It's online, but I don't know the link, and I think you might have to have an XM account to listen to it anyway.

Isn't it great to get back into the groove of enjoying music and re-discovering things you haven't heard in a while? I just splurged and got Rhapsody a few months ago. I don't really listen to the radio stations on it, but I make my own playlists and listen to them. I've found I'm willing to try out music I would've never bought in a million years. I'm flighty when it comes to my tastes, so it's perfect for me. I can go from Matisyahu to Christmas music in about five minutes.

My BF loves that one. I'm more of an Ethel person myself.

Here ya go...although I doubt you will like it.

Link to Radio Station.

Limewire is a good download site, Rob. I'vehad it for months, and no issues whatsoever- just don't download the wma files because they're mostly crap.

 

[TheeGoatPig]

It's not really radio, but I've heard Pandora is a good internet tool for giving you new music to listen to (again, I don't have a link, I'm being lazy, and I don't use it anyway).

Please

Don't use Limewire.

Shareware like that has a lot of Malware hiding around and it opens your computer up to viruses and parasites, especially if you have DSL/Cable. You may not get infected now or weeks from now, but you'll eventually get a "hitchhiker". This is from someone who knows from experience the hard way, aka someone whose computer used Limewire and even though a reputably solid antivirus program protected it, it still got 167 viruses via a Malware parasite.

However, help is free if ever you do get a case of the nasties — Check-out the "Viruses, Trojans, Spyware etc & All Other Computer Help!" forum and just see the history of the individual's having problems with Limewire.

*snicker* there used to be a Cajun channel on satellite, back in the day. I miss it when I'm cooking.

Fascinating. Is there still radio? I don't think I've listened to an actual radio station in three years. I get fed so much music via other media.

 

[rgraham666]

Tuned into Radio Paradise again.

And blast from the past. Conquistador (live with the Edmonton Symphony Orhestra) by Procol Harum. It's probably been a decade since the last time I heard it, nearly forty since the first time.

Sigh. Nice to have music back.

 

[MagicaPractica]

Music does feed the soul.

 

[rgraham666]

They're playing Bohemian Rhapsody now.

Unless I am roaming the streets, I don't listen to radio stations. For reasons of virus/malware, I don't listen to Internet music sites.

I do listen to my own music collection on a day by day basis. I collect 50s, 60s, 70s music. I get a "blast from the past" almost every day. Oh yeah!
