Please could someone advise me which if any of the copious amounts of radio stations listed on iTunes under the 'Radio' link are actually good? I keep finding headache-inducing ones.

By definition, if it's anything to do with iPods and iTunes then it's rubbish.

EDIT: Well, that's my opinion of them.

Because that's my opinion forged through numerous bad experiences with iPods.

I've never had one that's worked properly for more than 2 weeks. I went through 7 replacements in total before I gave up on them and their numerous software and manufacturing faults. Not to mention all the hassle of getting them to connect/sync with PC's and the problems installing iTunes caused. Most of the people I know share the same opinion of them (mass produced, over-hyped rubbish) and have had similar experiences.

Que? iPods are the mutt's nuts.

But that's beside the point - any internet radio stations worth listening to? No BS chat, adverts, just good music.

Why not just use Pandora?

It isn't available to non-Americans anymore.

Still working for me.

When I set up my own station it asked for a US postcode though - I just put in Phlabibits. 😀

This is what I get:

"Dear Pandora Visitor,

We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for most listeners located outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative.

We believe that you are in Norway (your IP address appears to be ...). If you believe we have made a mistake, we apologize and ask that you please contact us at pandora-support@pandora.com

If you are a paid subscriber, please contact us at pandora-support@pandora.com and we will issue a pro-rated refund to the credit card you used to sign up. If you have been using Pandora, we will keep a record of your existing stations and bookmarked artists and songs, so that when we are able to launch in your country, they will be waiting for you.

We will be notifying listeners as licensing agreements are established in individual countries. If you would like to be notified by email when Pandora is available in your country, please enter your email address below. The pace of global licensing is hard to predict, but we have the ultimate goal of being able to offer our service everywhere.

We share your disappointment and greatly appreciate your understanding.

Sincerely,

Tim Westergren, Founder"

That's bad - and strange that it still works here. I suppose I'll be cut off soon as well, in that case.

Thanks that looks good. It doesn't setup properly on my pooter though (I can't log in) and I'm wondering whether my uber-strict company firewall has anything to do with it.
