A friend messaged me on myspace that he couldn't get his internet radio to come through his PA system clean. He uses it for practicing. I asked him what internet radio he was using and he told me "Pandora" so I checked it out to see if I had the same problem. I didn't, but I am now in love with it. I hadn't tried it before because, though I have DSL, it ain't as fast as it would be if I lived in town, and streaming video and some streaming audio has to buffer at times (even youtube). But, since it uses Adobe Flash, I have no buffering or dropouts. You can set up your own genre(s) stations simply by typing in your favorite band and it will play only similar bands. The first one I did was "Deep Purple" and it plays all the classic bands in that vein along with DP's newer stuff with Steve Morse. Then I did one with "The Refreshments". They were one of my favorite bands and, even though they split up, their singer/songwriter Roger Clyne has a new band "Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers" and they still have that "southwestern" flavor in their rock n roll. If you haven't heard them or much of "The Replacements", I urge you to check out Pandora. Google it and try it out. Works for all kinds of music from country to blues to metal. The unpaid version is great, and has little 30 second commercials occasionally (much fewer than real radio) and limited "Next song" features, which doesn't bother me at all. It's the best thing I've found, as I live in the technological black hole of the universe and can't even get Fort Smith radio stations on my home radio. Just heard "Cake" doing a great version of Kenny Rogers' "Ruby (don't take your love to town)". Falling in love with radio all over again, and they don't just play the songs that got radio airplay. Try it, you'll like it.
