I think I am going to stick with Pandorra, at least untill something better
comes up.  I would like to hear from someone that pays for fm and get there
opinion on weather it is better or not.

Earl, I have RoadRunner Turbo, and mine chokes sometimes too, I still like to
listen to Launchcast too, and it gets stuck occasionally also. I believe it's
the popularity of Internet streaming audio and the servers or something between
here and there gets too much traffic. Just like everything with technology, it's
all ahead of it's time to the point of not being what we want it to be. Have you
ever dropped a call on a cell phone, have you ever been not able to even get a
signal. I believe that they shouldn't even have invented the cell phone as well
as the Internet until it was perfected, but the impatience and gullibility of
the consumer is what feeds the capitalism monster. At last.fm they say that once
you pay for the service that you'll get priority band with when there a lot of
traffic. When I pay I hope it's true, but I'll believe it when I see it, or
rather hear it.

I have been listening to last fm. but it keeps stopping and starting like it is
loading up. The only help available is there posts and I haven't recieved any
help there either. Does anyone know if there are some settings I don't have in
place? Right now the fm is stopped like it is loading. I enjoy the sound but I
am going to have to look elswhere if I can't get this fixed.

I'm in the USA, listening mostly to Last.fm, and a bit to Pandora.

I'll mention again the cool mashup that lets you scrobble Pandora plays to your
Last.fmcharts: http://pandorafm. real-ity. com/

I have a decent iTunes library at home but (gasp!) don't have an iPod (yet).

I installed the iLike Sidebar for iTunes, and find it useful.
http://www.ilike. com/download
that's a scrobbling/social- net thing too...iLike has their own site, and is
also the #1 music app on Facebook.
