Pandora / Last.fm
 

Couple of interesting audio sources when u.r.a is taking a break from
arguing the toss about the merits of different types of conductive
string....

I shouldn't really be mentioning this cool stuff in a UK group because
those pandora guys in the US aren't ready to serve us yet (streaming
copyright issues claimed). But their website player is accessible for a
quick demo. http://www.pandora.com. It also works on Squeezebox 2 & 3
where you get a free 3 month account from March 1st, but then you have
to lie and quote them a dummy US zip code. That could get them (maybe
you?) in trouble :-(

Another similar service is http://www.last.fm, and can be cobbled
together to work with Squeezebox through slimserver.

OK, OK... I've gone Squeezebox mad. Got unlimited ADSL? Get one of these
toys for your Hi-Fi rather than an iPod. Many hours more fun. :-)
