Since Pandora closed the gates for Romanian listeners (shame on you, Pandora!), no rights to broadcast here they say, I was looking for a new radio to listen once in a while.
I can tell you I have tried a few, I have also posted something here about it, but this time I am kind of excited about this one.
So, I was looking for some lullabies on the internet, to play for my newborn baby girl so I actually searched for “kids radio” or something like this and there I found it. Kids radio allright, but not only that! Actually, as they say, 350+ news, sport, talk and music stations! More than enough for me.
So, here’s the kids package where you can choose between lullabies, anime, whatever (I usually listen the lullabies station, you should check it out, slow country music, but also Metallica on bells and whistles. No kidding, I had the time of my life playing Fade to black and Nothing else matters to my daughter, everything on ding ding dongs…).
But, beside the kids package, you should check the Blues channels, where you can choose between Acoustic blues, Blues women, Electric blues, etc. Or how about the jazz package? Jazz fusion, jazz latino, swing, bop, etc.
Or if this does not set you free, then let me tell you what turned my world on: the metal channel! Yeah! Hair metal station, power metal station, classic metal station (I actually asked myself what “classic” means in metal, it means Megadeth, Ozzy, Testament etc)
Don’t you dare try the rock package cause there are too many stations there to pick from.
How about country, baby?! All 70’s, all 80’s, all 90’s? All 2000’s?! Or folk!! Love country or outlaw country (I didn’t know this branch actually exists)
Ah, one more thing: commercials are in the beginning, so before starting the show you need to listen to a commercial about hair loss or something then here you go, no commercial for a very long time, so don’t panic!
So I guess I’ve already spoken too much instead of pointing you to the package!
So here it is: AOL radio! 350+ stations, I love it, I bookmarked it, I listen to it all day long on my computer!
By the way,I am now listening to “Sinatra style” station. Cool!

iTunes are pretty good, too. You can download itunes for free, you don’t need an ipod or any apple applications either, and click on the radio tab. There’s probably a couple of thousand radio streams there for free too with just about every thing you could imagine. I remember being well happy for weeks when I found that. Internet radio rocks.

I don’t know if they ship to Romania, but you can find all sorts of lullaby renditions of your favorite bands here:

Yahoo also does online radio stations.
