I’ve come to see that all over the internet, you can find options for listening to the radio. Most all of them are free. Some of them offer commercial free music if you pay for a subscription, some offer commercial free music even if you don’t pay for it. A few options you have are LaunchCast radio from Yahoo, AOL Radio from AOL, Pandora, and Last.fm.
Myself, I use Pandora and Last.fm. At work I use my Sirius Internet Radio but that’s because I can’t get to Pandora or Last.fm from work. We can get to Sirius.com and that’s it. SIR is cool, but when I’m home I like a bit more control.
Both Last.fm and Pandora allow me to input an artist’s name and be able to listen to that artist and similar artists. On occasion you’ll get an artist that doesn’t fit, usually on Last.fm, but other than that, they’re pretty darned cool. I like ‘em at least. So check them out. You might just find yourself a new way to listen to music online.
