Good Morning everyone!

Well if I could listen I have found a couple of stations.

www.grooveshark.com You can program your own playlist and it's free.

Also I like www.slacker.com

smile


Grooveshark looks pretty cool.  Like Lala only free!  I have to get back to work though.  JR is causing me a lot of lost productivity making me have to seach for good music now! 

 

That's exactly what I was going to post!  I've found that Grooveshark is missing a few songs that Lala has, but only a couple.  And I don't see a way to connect with friends other than manually searching for them.  But, I'm listening to Grooveshark right now.

Ok, help an idiot out.  How the heck are you listening to it?  Do I have to make an account first, then build my own playlist?  confuse

I think you can start building your playlist before you make an account, but if you want to save it, you need an account.  I made one first before I started adding music.

So far, I like all the features that Lala has better, but I like Grooveshark's price better. For now, price wins, I'm listening to Grooveshark.

Thanks Mz. smile I just made an account.  I'm ghostdancer2002.  Are you using MzHartz?
From what I understand we can add each other and listen to each other's playlists, correct?

Just getting around to checking in.  Doodlebug had a doctor appointment this morning.  She's already 9# 3oz. 

At the moment I'm not listening to anything.  I'll get around later in the day when things in the office calm down to look around.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Playing around with Slacker . . . they have phone apps and I've got it playing on my phone right now. That's kinda cool.

I have it on my phone too. I have had it for quite some time but never really get around to listening to it. I have yet to really get in there and play with it.

I also have the Pandora app on the phone.

Can't function for 5 minutes without music. I went back to Live 365, and chose a rock station. It doesn't suck, but I heard 2 No Doubt songs within a 1/2 hour. Also ahven't heard very many songs more than 5 years old. I'd like if it were more varied. (Naturally - story of my life.)

Murs - what is the station you found?

Oh, a nice setting in the Slacker settings . . . you can select the "level" of popularity you want from: Fringe - Deep - Familiar - Hits

I'm already liking Slacker better than Pandora.

I like slacker if I want to just get to working on something but grooveshark is nice for listening to everything I want!

So I normally brought up FFR as all one page and just clicked the buttons at the top to switch between the forum, request list, and now playing pages.

Today, I keep hitting the now playing button after I check the forum.

I went onto Slacker and started to create my own station, but I didn't get very far before it maxed out. cry.gif I guess you have to pay to really add a lot?

I had to think long and hard about not clicking on the "listen live" button.

Our layoff de jour is complete. 50% of our Tier 1 techs, 30% of the test operations team, and one supervisor are now gone. Pretty harsh.

SHE BOSS took me and co-worker to lunch for "Administrative Professional's Day". So much better than flowers & chocolates! We went to Abuelo's (Mexican). Never been. It was quite nice. I had the lunch tilapia with scallops & shrimp.

I recommended that we substitute a siesta for dessert, but she laughed as though I was joking...

A bit. The boss had a meeting with the rest of us afterwards and it was pretty somber. Some of us went to lunch afterwards and that was a bit better. I hear most of the unfortunates went to one of the local bars. We're avoiding that place right now.

Probably a smart move. That scene could be ugly today and tomorrow.

I used LaLa for a little while when they first came out.  At that time though I think they had a different pay structure.

I don't recall the .10 to add it to your playlist part.  It was something like you could listen to any song 3 times for free and then you had to buy it.

Been too busy today to put the effort into looking around for something to listen to.

At one time I sampled a station called Radio Free David -- Tunes with a beat and a twist. It's mostly alternative. For now it will have to do...

I think tomorrow I will venture out and try to find something on Live365 or Loud City...

I'm not a fan of purchasing songs one by one online.....I'm still a die-hard "buy the whole cd" from a store after sampling tracks to see if it's worth buying.  Or I borrow cds from the library and rip 'em to my computer.  smile


wmse.org on Friday is Awesome! Rock A Billy, New Wavish Garage.

I'm really liking grooveshark.  I've added a bunch of songs to my playlist and put it on shuffle.  I wonder if there is a max # of songs you can have in playlist?

Me too murs. Right now I'm checking out Slacker to get more ideas of music to add to Grooveshark.
