To Whom It May Concern...

So... I set up my GnuMP3d server again. What that means is I can access all of my audio over the web. Including on my new Web enabled SmartPhone (Only $74.99!!!) So, I have my audio with me where ever I go. The cool factor, for me, is up there. I probably won't stream music all day... it could catch up with me at some point. Perhaps my cell provider will get cranky, or my ISP at home throttle me. I'd like to get my videos streaming though. I can access them through GBPVR's Enhanced Web Admin. But it doesn't have a very good mobile interface. Perhaps in the future?

I thought I'd start an online store of media, books and music and such, that was safe of offensive lyrics. A lot of the music I have up there is instrumental/jazz/classical crossover with no lyrics. Please take a look. The Safe Media Web Store

I was in the mood for something different, so I tuned into a Classical Crossover station on LaunchCast . I found a couple of groups I really liked the sound of. It seemed at first the only groups I liked on the station were Girl groups. I don't want anybody to get the wrong idea. But then I finally found guy I really liked to listen to, Maksim , who's sound was pretty cool. Here's the other two I liked: Bond - Play a sample of Fuego. (Requires Real Media player.) Imagine Classical Electric Dance done right. Opera Girls - The didn't have as many I liked... not that I've heard them all. But they were pretty cool too.

At least it is to me. http://www.yourmusic.com/ It sounds like, you pay $6.99/month, and then order the CDs you want. Has anybody tried this or investigated?

First of all, if I can't close a Word document, start a Remote Desktop connection, and bring up an IM window all while I have a Virtual PC running and Launchcast is starting the next song stream, then what good is this stinkin' laptop!!! I've been listening to Launchcast lately. I held off because of fear of impacting the network here. But I came to two conclusions... We have 100Mb network connections. It doesn't really impact my experience. So, I've also switched my music link to Launchcast instead of Last.FM. I just can't get away from the fact that LaunchCast is to me the best streaming music and rating system I have tried. So, that covers Music and Technology, but Bluetooth? I had a Jabra one-ear earpiece for my cell-phone. It worked pretty good for an inexpensive piece. I pretty much just left it in the car and used it there. Then I started seeing these stereo Headphones/Headsets that worked with BlueTooth. I've hated being tethered to my laptop at work...

Okay, let's broaden the search. What online music services do you use to listen to streamed music. This is music that plays through your browser (or software) but is not downloaded. I have used Launchcast and Last.FM. How about you?
