I like to listen to internet radio, because there are so many stations to choose from, and I like to listen to music from other countries than my own. When I am trying to learn a new language I sometimes listen to music and news from that country, and I have learned new words that way, but most of all I listen to radio stations from around the world, because I love to listen to many different kinds of music. If I listen to the radio in the car there are few stations to choose from, and most of them aren't very interesting, so I think it is great that internet radio exist.
Do you listen to internet radio? What do you prefer to listen to? Music? News? Other things?

No i do not listen to any internet radio station porcospino, i honestly rather turing my radio on and listening to my local radio station, at least then they have stuff which concerns my local area and music of todays time not the 1950's.

I rarely listen to the radio and almost never listen to the Internet radio. I like to listen to my own playlist coming from PC, that's the reason. It's hard to find a radio station that would satisfy my music taste, because most of the radio stations tend to play a variety of different music genres, but I listen only to the rock music. And I only listen to a few rock artists.

I very much like to listen to the Internet radio. Because you can pick whichever radio station to listen to. You don't have to fiddle around with the switch on the regular Radio to find the station. The quality is good. I like to listen to all kinds of stuff like music, news, and sports stations.

I like internet radio and I listen to it when I get time.sky.fm is my favorite one and I usually listen to New Age or Country or Pop radio stations.It is a good thing that they have categorized the stations according to the type of songs played in the station.This helps us in that we could listen to the station which plays the kind of music we like

I've never done it but I had a co-worker who did. She's no longer working here but she used to listen to a radio station from the Bahamas. Really great music, you know. I'm planning to buy speakers for the laptop I have at home. Then I'll be able to do this myself at home. It would be great ! I'm sure ! !

Hi Porcospino,
I seldom listen to internet radio. when i am in the office i can't do it because i used to do lots of things and it will not help me. i will not be able to focus on. when i am at home my hubby used to play it while working at night and while i am doing mylot, that's the time i can listen to it with him. but when he puts on his earphone...no more music for me. i like it better --more peaceful. if i listen to music i want to give focus on it.

I don't listen to internet radio very often. Quite frankly its difficult and I usually have to do without my screen reader because the two conflict and I have to chose one or the other. But, i make exceptions during the holidays ore certain times i feel like listening to music.

Yeah, I like to listen to internet radio very much. When I want to practise my listenning of the foreign language, I'd like to listen to some news or other talk programs. But actually,I listen to music more because I like music very much and that can relax myself. I can enjoy from it.

I've never really gotten into listening to internet radio. It seems like something I should really consider.

When I am at home I could hear it but sometimes net connection is just not really strong to be able to hear the sound continuously. I think that is the only problem with it but with the large choices available there you can pick one that gives you clear and continuous signal.

When I get kinda bored of listening to my music, I tend to listen to internet radio stations. Sites like shoutcast have rgeat stations in all genres of music but I personaley prefer the electronic hardcore trance, so I can dance around when I'm alone at home, or chill out with some groovey ambient songs. The station djs have great taste in music and always pick only the best tracks from all around the world. It's great to listen to a cool german- trance song or a french-house track! It's culture in a tiny package
