There are so many great stations to discover besides Pandora, last.fm, and slacker. Take time to explore, there are literally thousands of stations out there playing fantastic music that you have probably never heard before. One of the great stations I've discovered is soma.fm , and it plays a variety of electronic type music. A great directory of stations to check out is at shoutcast.com , it'll really open your eyes to what is out there.
While places like pandora and slacker are good, you should expand your boundaries by listening to specialized niche stations. Just go to shoutcast.com , which is an excellent directory for internet stations originating from all over the world.
I am looking for A audio player to play audio on my site.. any ideas of where can get shoutcast audio player
I use Pandora everyday on a computer and on my mobile phone while in the car. Sorry it didn't work out for you and your friends. One thing you probably didn't know about is that Pandora has been around nearly 10 years now. This is the first year they were able to churn out a profit.
You have to check out Pandora. You create your own stations, and choose if you like or not for a particular song. It keeps me sane, and away from the regular radio that keeps playing the same songs over and over again.
