Hello there, Chris!

Music is a huge part of everyone’s life, and we’re sure your viewers will find a fresh set of music helpful; we hope these sites will help them out a bit. They are listed in no particular order as they are all great and serve their own purpose.

All of the above are easy to use and provide the same service in a slightly different way. Some do this better than others, but once again that’s up to user preference. The services are all quite fast and reliable and provide ways for the user to get to music quickly and without hassle. Some offer user accounts with pretty nifty features and additions that will increase the amount of pleasure one can have with the service, and they tend to have a large music database from which music is drawn.

Some services find and record the music styles and preferences of a listener and adjust what is being played accordingly, and others offer new and interesting ways in which music is chosen, and it happens quite often that new artists with the same sound that one likes is presented for you (especially Pandora), leading to the discovery of new artists and bands.

All in all, these Web sites are great, and have proven to be quite a useful tool when it comes to bringing something fresh into our listening spaces. We strongly encourage going through each and finding a service that best fits you — you wont be disappointed.

    For music I’ve always been a fan of RadioParadise (www.radioparadise.com). It’s a very eclectic mix and it’s completely hands off – IOW he sets the music and it’s a good mix. I understand the appeal of setting your own music mix but for me it takes away from the experience. Listening to a station (internet or radio) has always been the feel of the staff, the community and etc. and that’s what I like about it. I can listen to my own music at home.

    For news and science it’s always been NPR until about a week ago. I stumbled across a small station called Stop and Go Radio (www.stopandgoradio.com). NPR’ish programming with a small town feel. One thing I really liked is their rotation is just small enough that I can catch a missed program later in the evening. I emailed the station contact about a schedule and he replied promptly, was very nice and explained they are rebuilding it (and their website).
