AOL Radio
AOL Radio
I just found the AOL Communicator program, and aside from a few kinks, I've been very happy with the package, including Radio@AOL. Of course I'm usually listening to the Celtic channel, which highlights Scottish, Irish, Welsh, etc music. I've had the pleasure of hearing a great variety of artists, including some wonderful pipe/flute/whistle music.
I know a lot of people look down on AOHell, but there are these 'radio channels' available through a lot of providers. Does anyone else take advantage of them?
I do the Celtic in the morning and evening, NPR during the day, and classical during dinner (yeah, the most used computer is here in the kitchen). Great way to hear music that I haven't bought (yet).

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

AOL has a bad habit of trying to take over various functions, often rendering other netware unusable. It will also reset a lot of settings to suit its purpose. One of my workplaces forbade ANY AOL product on any computer it had contact with, and refused to guarantee its software on any computer running AOL.
But I have never had a virus get through email, and the communicator's email sorting has reduced my spam to nearly nil...maybe one or two pieces a day. It rounded up and removed 124 pieces of junk from my three boxes today alone.
I love the top of the screen ticker....

My pleasure!

I used to use AOL Radio but I fell in love with Satalite Digital Radio and now I listen to ALL the Scottish/Irish Traditional stations from the source! (only 9 bucks a month). My Favorite is BBC Celtic broadcasts.

I don't know if this is exactly the same thing you all are talking about - but - I like Spinner- they've got pretty much everything, and it shows you the name of the tune, who's playing, what cd it's on and even where you can get it if you are so inclined. My favorites are the celtic channel and the baroque channel.

I am not certain either if they are the same thing. Spinner is/was awesome. I know Spinner was bought by Netscape and if you click Radio Netscape in their browser, you get a slimmed down version of Spinner. I haven't used AOL Radio, but since AOL/Netscape are basically owned by the same company, my guess would be that they are the same.
Peace.
