Try Pandora. You can define your own stations.

I used to use, love and pay for Lauchcast Plus, Yahoo's customised internet
radio.  It worked by you rating songs, artists, genres etc and then it would
play you stuff based on that select and that others whom liked your choices
had chosen.  It had no commercials, no DJ's, unlimited skipping and scalable
ratings - was brilliant and worked really really well.  Naturally Yahoo
killed it off the other day and replaced it with CBS Radio - which is not
customisable, has lots of adverts and very limited skipping - Basically, it
is rubbish - don't even bother with it.

Now I use Jango (www.jango.com) - which has a slightly annoying 'social
network' side to it (I loathe facebook so social networking is not my thing)
but you can ignore most of that without bother.  So far has proven to be a
good subsitiute.

Jango is fully customisable, free, no commercials, unlimited skipping, plays
in any browser, has a broad and varied music library - I found most of the
stuff I was interested in, and (so far) has been painless and fun to use.

For portable music, I still love my iPod - not the best quality audio
reproduction around, but for sheer ease of use nothing comes close.

my 2 cents
Cheers
Darryl

A friend of mine just told me about Slacker internet radio.  I have started
playing with it and kinda like it.  They have a pretty expensive "mp3
player" called G2 which allows you to send songs to the G2 that you hear
while listening on the "radio" to the MP3 and then play them away from your
desk.

Does anyone out there use Slacker and / or the G2 player?  Comments?
