Just discovered that they also sold the farm to the CBS mothercorp. What was once a music Pandora's box for me is becoming a back-door attempt to get in on the social marketing bandwagon. I guess when you have $280 million waved in your face it's hard to say no.

I also just discovered techno.fm - live streaming of all things electronic. Pretty decent so far! All – thanks for the great suggestions

While I'm on the GO train and in the office as well - I usually stream music using my WM6.5 device. I use a program called Resco Radio. It has a bunch of pre-programmed channels covering all types of genres. If you dont see anything you like, your able to add new channels and save them to your favorites. That's my preferred alternative - at lease until I come across something better. I actually have access to Pandora at work – God Sent I tell ya.
