Does anyone else here use internet radio stations like Pandora or Jango? I use both Pandora and Jango, (In fact, I'm using Pandora right now) so I can switch if one starts playing bad songs, or if I run out of skips on Pandora. Those are pretty much the only ones I know of. Does anyone know of other, better stations?

I like how it (usually) plays what I want, and you can customize your stations. But that doesn't always work, for either Pandora or Jango. Does anyone know of any internet radio stations better than those two? I like Pandora's vast music collection, pre-made genre stations, and customizability, but it can be hard to make a good station. Jango is easier to use and doesn't have commercials that interrupt the flow of music, but sometimes seem to play the same things, and doesn't have nearly as big a collection as Pandora. Perhaps there is an internet radio station that has the best of both?

Yep! I use Pandora! Don't know if there's any others.
Here's a tip: Don't use Pandora if you want to get j-pop. Its selection isn't all that great. However, there are lots of internet radio stations that play j-pop and anime music. If you like, I can direct you to some.

I use Pandora sometimes. Mostly when I'm studying on-campus, away from my stereo.

It must be a quirk of my blocker set up, but I've never heard any ads on Pandora.

Digitally Imported (http://www.di.fm) and Sky FM (http://www.sky.fm) here. I listen to DI's Vocal Trance station almost constantly.

I use the radio toolbar when I decide to open IE, I don't know if it can be on any other browser

I like listening to the american christian station I finally found, as I only have one christian station here, so it's good to mix up :)

If you're into any type of Christian Rock (hardcore, hard rock, alternative, metal, progressive, etc) you will love TheBlast.FM

While it's not a custom station, it plays stuff you will not hear on most typical christian stations....even Christian rock stations...

What I love is not only does it play recent hits by popular christian rock bands (Skillet, RED, Disciple), but it also plays more obscure bands that most people have never heard of (Echoes the Fall, Fades Away, I Am Alpha and Omega)....best yet...you can hear old hits as well (especially from groups like Falling Up, Anberlin, and Demon Hunter)

I fell in love with this station 4-5 years ago....and I still am in love with it....

Give it a try....
