One good thing

I've finally come to a good place about listening to music at work. For a while I listened to woxy out of Oxford, Oh because they have the BEST alternative/indie playlist. That proved difficult because they kept losing money and going off the air. Now you have to register and download stuff and pat your head whilst clucking like a chicken and I don't feel like doing all that for music. Then I was listening to kroq out of LA but they play the Chili Peppers WAY too much so I gave up on them. Next came some local stations but there were technical issues and I was still having to deal with the Chili Peppers thing. Yes, I hate them that much. Well God bless someone at AOL. Geeze, I never thought I'd say that but it turns out AOL is good for something. They partnered with XM and now I can listen all day with no commercials. And I can choose what genre within a genre I want to listen to. Do I sound like an advertisement? I don't mean to but I am really pleased.

Freakin' Red Hot Chili Peppers. They must be the most annoying band on Earth.

Glad you found some good tunes!

WOXY was purchased last fall and is back streaming 2 channels 24 hours a day with no commercials. You don't have to register or do anything to listen to the station. They still have MP3, AAC+, and Windows Media Streams, all free.

The only things to download are the free podcasts which are live in-studio performances recorded at the station.

I just listen on iTunes, so I don't have to do anything different. Guess that the Windows player is a bit more complicated. :-)

Weird. You have another Woxy fan other than me reading this.
Have you tried Pandora.com? It's pretty awesome and totally web-based so you don't have to download anything.
Woxy is the best though. :)
