When I'm not listening to a World Cup game, I've been using Slacker. But lately, I've been giving up on Slacker and switching to Pandora.
I like Slacker better, but the player can be finicky. I tried downloading their desktop player, but you can only listen to 10 songs a day on it without paying. They say it works on Opera, but I can never get it to play. No errors or anything, just doesn't play. Then sometimes I have to reload it multiple times to make it work in Firefox or IE.
I open Pandora in Opera, and it just starts playing. So, Pandora it is for now.

Same.
Occasionally I will put Pandora on. But since it is limited to 40 hours per month free, I am not on it too often. If I do play any tunes during the day, they are from my portable harddrive.

It is like listening to a heating/cooling system run all day. I wish they would turn up the pink noise in our section. I don't really want to hear what is going on around me.

I find that it is an ineffective sound inhibitor. I can still hear the people several rows away talking. They are just talking over the hissing / static noise.

The white noise was louder when we first moved into this place. It was up so that you had a hard time actually hearing the person next to you. After a few months they turned it down. Then I could hear people from every which way. I sit in a bad place.

Not FFR. I'm trying other stuff. FFR was the lam-o stuff but, I liked it. It was cool because, the people running it, we're REAL. Tons of fake **** out there. JR, I'll show U Da Money.

I've been listening to my local rock station. With all the summer concerts going on, they've been having lots of free ticket giveaways (be a certain number caller). Maybe I'll get lucky and win a pair.
Right now I'm listening to my husband's radio show Noize in the Attic.
Then I'll go back to Slacker. Aside from the commercials (which are really pretty few) and having to click every couple of hours to say 'yes I'm still here', I have no problems with it. It even allows you to skip a few songs a day. So if something horrendous like say, Mariah Carey, comes on, you can blow right by it.

Sad thing is I used to LOVE Mariah when she first came out. Reminded me of Whitney Houston, seemed like a real class act that would go down in history as a classic singer. Instead they both started changing their musical styles to suit the times and eventually became jokes.

Agreed - "a class act" is exactly what I thought at first. Now she's a ho.
