I've been hittin up Groove Salad for a good few years now. It sets a very nice atmosphere, whatever you're up to, and no ads. Sister stations Secret Agent and Drone Zone are great also. What do joo tune into?

Hard to say I like some but the ones I really like tend to have low bitrates.

Used to be AnimeFM, but they closed down.

Now I'd have to say Japan-A-Radio (http://www.japanaradio.com/)

Japan a Radio is funny. I like listening to Air1 though.

Definately Secret Agent radio. I listen to them so much I actually made donation to them earlier this year. I've got hours of them on my iPod.

Also like MonkeyRadio and I'd listen to RadioMargaritaville more if the bitrate wasn't so crummy.

I don't use internet radio. Prefer to use my own radio.

I have to add Cinemascape (Live365) via iTunes. Really the only thing I listen to other than my iPod.

You actually like that music ? I tried to like it but it must be the most aweful music on the planet (Japanese pop, Japanese traditional music is cool).

I like:

Energy Jamz
Smoothbeats
mostly classical
Bassdrive
Iranianradio.com awesome stuff
Jazzmusique
Secret Agent

But actually I prefer real radio.

Yes. I do like it. I have a 300-song J-POP collection, and would have more, except it is so expensive to import (think $50 a CD with shipping).

Goldfinger meant real radio instead of real audio crap.
