Jango
Jango
is all about making online music easy, fun and social.
Just type in an artist - and your first station starts
playing right away. You'll get the music you want,
along with similar favorites of Jango users who share
your taste. Customizing your stations further is just
as easy. Just add more artists and rate songs that you
want to play more or less. You can also tune in to
other people's stations - and they can tune in to
yours! In your player, you'll see who's listening to
the same music as you, who's listening to your
stations, and what your friends are playing.
Radio Paradise
Each hour of music is
carefully blended together to flow smoothly between
different musical styles & genres - just like real DJs
used to do on FM. "We don't use the computer-generated
playlists or "carefully researched music libraries"
that have sucked the soul out of FM radio - and we
never just throw songs together at random the way many
web stations do." (Listen),

thesixtyone
thesixtyone makes music culture more democratic:
artists upload their work for review, but, rather than
allow a stuffy suit in a boardroom to decide what's
good, thousands of listeners do. The best music
automagically bubbles up on our homepage where you can
listen to the most popular songs for any genre. It's a
quick way to find new music for your iPod powered by
pure excitement as opposed to some contrived marketing
budget. Think you've got a good ear? Aside from
customizing your experience, creating an account
allows you to earn points, level up your influence,
and collect badges for discovering and recommending
good music that others may enjoy. On thesixtyone,
tastemaking becomes fun, competitive, and trackable.
WFUV
There once
were no boundaries between artists and styles. You
could hear more than just the same handful of songs by
the same tired artists. Disc jockeys were real people
who cared about the music and their community. WFUV,
the NPR affiliate at Fordham University recreates this
mix. (Listen),
