I need a music streaming site

[LindlineOLD]

Some kind of streaming radio. Preferably, without commercials. I'd be running it during my streams and having commercials playing over my stream is pretty unprofessional.

Pandora

I've used Pandora and Slacker. I've been using Slacker now for quite a while, but mostly because I've been slacking myself and don't want to switch.

Pandora: http://pandora.com/pandora_one ($36/yr)
Slacker: http://www.slacker.com/products/radio/ ($47.88/yr)

I won't attempt to lay out a comparison of the two. There are plenty of opinions on the Internet for this if you want comparisons.

Edit: Added links and cost info (if you don't want ads). Go to the root of the web site if you want to see their 'free' offerings.

pandora ad's are only visual ads, and dont inturrupt the music...idk bout slacker, but paying for pandora is unnecessary

Pandora works perfectly so far. Thanks, guys.

Rhapsody.com
$14.95/yr but you have to build your own playlists. No ads/commercials. Unlimited play time for all online tracks. Tracks can be downloaded for a fee. Its able to add your comp's tracks to your virtual library and you'll know what you have at all times.

if youre lookin for MISC. techno and such, i also like Digitally Imported - Addictive Electronic Music

Pandora states that there is a 40 hour limit per month. You can pay $0.99 for the rest of the month to hear unlimited songs; however, ads and skip limits are still in place.

I can't find any such limitation (40hr/month) on Slacker.

Pandora sound quality is supposed to be better (IMHO only an issue if I were paying and sensitive that sort of thing - Slacker sounds fine).

I just use iTunes. The program is free and some of the stations have ads but most are just straight music streams with momentary DJ interrupts. I like the Hardstyle HB under Electronica
