Recently, I have been exploring INTERNET RADIO.

Would love to hear experiences and tips from others on this topic.

My primary Music Preference is Rock with a little of Pop & Jazz.

Thanks

Funny you should mention it as the other thread on satellite radio prompted me to think about the same thing. Without a doubt, the best Internet radio station in my opinion is the brilliantly named Last.fm (http://www.last.fm/) You start by typing in the name of a favourite artist and it will seek out similar artists for you. Even better, it has a plugin for Windows Media Player and iTunes which learn your tastes.

Pandora is similar and said to be even better but its a US-only service (I think).

The other options are the stations in iTunes - I tend to listen to NPR a lot as some of their programs are pretty interesting. No particular favourite for music.

Most welcome, Amp_Nut. Glad you liked it. Shoutcast (http://www.shoutcast.com/) used to be what I used earlier but the customised playlist of Last FM is unmatched by any other.
