frugal online sources of good music

[mwmil...@gmail.com]

I as all posters of this ng have probably noticed the migration of
music downloading to the internet, like itunes. I've come across some
sites with online radio and other music sites, but I find good sources
online to number only very few, atleast those that I've come across so
far. Do the posters of frugal-living have different experience,
finding more sources of frugal music online?

screamer radio is a nice little program that receives "internet radio"
broadcasts from several hundred stations around the world, and gives you
the option to record them in real time. its basically akin to the old
days of cassette taping off the radio, except this will separate and
file the songs for you.

there are several stations that broadcast at 128k stereo and give ID
tags. you have the option of having each stored in MP3 format by
filename according to ID tag. just about every genre you could think of
is represented.

sometimes the ID tag isnt switched in time, so you end up with the end
of another song at the front, or the beginning of another song at the
end. since it records "in real time" your computer must be on and
running the program the whole time.

i usually run it on a computer for a day while im gone, then go through
and delete all the files i know i dont want.

the good thing is that its untraceable and free
