Listening to my free music from my computer today as I sit here doing my daily key stroking and call logging. Lucky for me I work in a place that allows us to cruise the internet while we work Of course there are plenty of sites that are blocked by the typical corporate firewall security fortunately for me and a lot of us that are strapped to our computers all day we can listen to what ever internet music service we choose and there are plenty of them.
For quite a while I had been going back and forth between two internet radio services which both served it’s purpose but now I am trying out a third free radio service that I am liking the best so far. The first two were blip.fm and last.fm and now the new one that I am using now I actually came upon by chance while on my phone it’s called slacker radio.
Blip.fm if I had to relate it to anything would be a twitter music account. You make social nice with the community and add people to your blip wall and we all share the type of music we listen to. The services lets you type in your favorite artist and pulls it from the online world to play your songs and those of your inner circle of friends. I found it to be a great way to discover new types of music that I may not have ever heard of if not for the blip wall playing the music of all the friends you make.
Last.fm is similar to blip in that you get to type in the artist you like and create your own radio station of the music that you like. It does a nice job of bringing similar artist in the genre that you are listening to and making it really easy for you to add them to your radio station. There is a pretty good community going on there as well and it is a very polished site with commenting, sharing and all the web 2.0 stuff that people have come to expect from social sites like that.
Free Internet Music
OK the last music service that I literally just started using today on my work pc is Slacker and like I said I only discovered recently as I downloaded the free app for my BB. The app works great by the way and was very easy to get up and running on my phone. As far as listening to the music from work, they have a mini player which took all of three minutes to download and set up before I started listening to one of the many station options that come already to go.
I really like the mini player so far and mostly because it is not running off my browser which is where I was listening to last.fm from. The downfall for Slacker at least for me is the fact that the mini player will only play 10 songs a day for free as they try and funnel you over to their radio subscription service. The service is $3.99 a month for unlimited songs, lyrics and no banner ads which is all fine and dandy but I will be sticking to the free music services over at last.fm there is just no competing with free music Oh by the way the add on of fire.fm which streams last.fm right out of your firefox browser and it works great!
