This is a whining thread. →[More:]My favourite online source of music content has just been axed, it was free earlier on—but now they’re charging mucho denero for it, which I just can’t afford. Damn Damn Damn. I know artists need to “earn” their money, but what about those of us who can’t afford to BUY their art. Are we destined to live a life without the beauty of music?

This is not fair, at all.:(

Does anyone have any other resource of music that I can look up on the web that might be of some help to me, other than YahooMusic, which I’ve had some problems with in the past?

I can't seem to navigate the Radio Mecha site either. The link, like the one to BP Radio, takes me to this page, and I'm not too sure what to do after that.

Any guidance would be appreciated, and yes--I am a bit on the slow side. Sadly.

Online radio wise, one of my favorite sites is di.fm. It has a bunch of different stations, but none of them are 'pop', so you might not find a station that you like. Other sites that are in my music folder are soma.fm, and xtcradio. I also sometimes listen to a somewhat local radio station (near seattle), c895worldwide. Oh and there's always pandora, which might play pop music.

Thanks phil!
I just had time to click on the Pandora link and it's not working for me; they say that they can't provide the service to people from outside the US. But that Digital Imported Radio link is sounding really great.

Thanks arse_hat--I'll try that out next time:)

No dice taz. It's giving me a "we had an error connecting."
