OK, AOL didn't kill it. But if you are not an AOL member you cannot listen to more than 1 hour per day. Man that sucks. I was getting hooked to the college/soundtrack/jazz stations too.

Synesthesia do you still listen to radio netscape?

Why, oh why are you on AOL? There are other ways!

*weeps for your soul*

Annie, I think he's complaining because he's not on AOL, and therefore can only listen to an hour of Netscape Radio a day.

Anyawy, I feel for you, Beren. I used to be big on Internet Radio, but every site with a decent selection I'd fine would consistently be screwed up and over by a big business.

The only ones I listen to now are the ones listed on iTunes, which I've really enjoyed. Of course, I can't help but feel like most of those are going to be taken over, too.

Fight the power!

Da_Goat, I'm on iTunes now too. [Smile]

The sound quality is excellent (several 128 kbps stations) but the selection is not as wide as Netscape Radio.

No worries Annie. My soul is safe. If I had AOL, would I be able to download stuff like this? (Potential entry to chickflick 2005?)

Sometimes I listen to it. It drives me crazy when they cut you off like that.
They didn't do that before..
Arg. Stupid AOL.

Speaking of AOL, I just got IM again, and it made Netscape my first screen, even though I pushed the button that said I did not want it to be. Argh. This means that my husband will delete it again, and I will be chatless. (He is not a control freak, but for some reason I think I can slip AIM by him, when he has asked me repeatedly not to put it on because it messes things up)

There's always AIM Express.
You can chat on AIM without being annoyed by annoying AIM things.
