Web-based music streaming services

[Ace-Garageguy]

I'll start.

EDIT: I meant this thread to be about music streaming available only over the internet, not broadcast over the radio (like XM), but I failed to make that clear in the original title

Soma FM is commercial-free, listener-supported, and streams a variety of genres people who have grown beyond today's repetitive mainstream pap might find to their liking...and it's free if you think you deserve something for nothing.  

I've been listening on various devices since they first fired up in early 2000.

I use two.

 

Spotify of course being the big one. I pay for the Premium tier, and I love it. I rarely listen to anything else when driving. Unlimited playlists, and I almost never get stumped when searching for artists I like.

 

The other is Gimme Metal. www.gimmemetal.com

It's free, and it's all metal.

 

 

I still have my SiriusXM subscriptions for home and in my old Tahoe. There are a few stations we like . And I can stream it through the app as well.

 

And I still buy CDs.

I prefer Napster! The name was used for a peer-to-peer file sharing service, the one Metallica had such a beef with...... now it's the name of the streaming service. Not long ago, they got bought by a company called Hivemind. This new company revamped the service to include videos, both live performances and Mtv style videos. For $10.99 a month, you can listen to (or watch) all the music you want....... I've not one complaint about the service!

Give a listen to Rough Power [1972, c.1993] which was issued by Bomp! (now out-of-print). It's the early, "rough" cut of the Stooges Raw Power , and consists of a broadcast from WABX in which Iggy was in the studio (not on-air) with the tapes.

I mention this because it's a fine example of how FM used to be in its heyday.

I just have SiriusXM.  Got as a gift.

SiriusXM, mostly for the indie channels. Amazon Music (paid tier) for albums and streaming channels based around artists I like.
