I stream my music from grooveshark.com, I use it mostly to find out good songs and then download them to put on my iphone, its also good to see what songs are popular.
My favorite was imeem, now I use grooveshark
These are my favorite two! Lots of new tracks and makes surfing music blogs easy.
The Hype Machine – http://hypem.com
We Are Hunted – http://wearehunted.com
On my mobile devices I use Pandora and Last.fm but they never really do it for me. I would die for a Hype or Hunted mobile app.
I don’t stream. Can’t stream at work, listen to podcasts on my commute.
Grooveshark and Spotify!
I love pandora and imeem just broke my heart. other than that im trying to use spotify but i am waiting. la la seems pretty good – its nice quality wise and looks realy slick. trying to stay away form napster and rhapsody but might have to go that ro. need something like imeem again so i can listen to whenevr i want, even if its not top quality, quality only matters in some cases, long as its not absolute crap.
Pandora, sometimes Last.fm
Imeem, Youtube, and sometimes just google and download~
Podcasting at work (via iTunes), YouTube (quite often) and Last.fm (sometimes). Sadly, Pandora closed its gates for me…
I get rgular podcasts through itunes…but for online radio streaming i use radiotuna to find what i’m into that day or bbc iplayer for the regular shows I listen to,for track streaming i use hypem (brilliant for finding something new) and grooveshark (for finding stuff I already know).
Lala. Apple has now bought them, so who knows what the future holds, but this is a GREAT site.
I still go a bit old school and use Winamp to stream music.
I also use Pandora from time to time.
However, my favorite by far is DI.FM. <3 Electronic Music
di.fm can’t be beat when it comes to electronic music. I also use last.fm on occasion.
I was using Last.FM when I was working from home. Now I’m mostly listening to music in the car, rather than whilst working. Some activities suit music, some don’t, I guess. Having said that, it’s always good to hear what other say .. and there are some music services mentioned above that I haven’t encountered .. so going to check these out. Many thanks for asking the question.
Spotify http://www.spotify.com
I like finding new music and experimenting with different types of music so my favorites are Pandora, TheSixtyOne and Last.FM
I sometimes also use iTunes radio just to listen to the same genre of various artists.
I also listen to songs on my computer at times and sometimes I search youtube for music videos when I want to listen to a specific song. It’s kind of weird how well it works for that kind of thing.
TheSixtyOne is a very unique way of streaming because it gives you quests to perform kind of like an RPG and it actually provides an extra level of entertainment. Everyone should give it a try.
Spotify
and the itunes radio stations
