14. This.
I love Pandora. I create a station based on my faves and it throws stuff out at me that I've never heard before and must then go buy. It's been terrible for my music budget.

7. slacker!
No, really. slacker.com - the best streaming music service, bar none. The sound quality is excellent.

24. Glad you like it.
I turn it on first thing in the morning. Check its schedule -- great selection of programs, including the Met Opera every Saturday afternoon. That's a classic.

21. http;//player.play.it
I listen to Baroque, stations that play music during a specific year, and Nature which is really cool for crickets, wind, rain, ocean, critters, birds. Very, very peaceful that one. And then KROQ when I get a little homesick for El Lay.

26. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio
Got a few choices there. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio

It's not pure background music I'm afraid... for that Slacker or Pandora's better. However the personalities on there aren't too bad.

27. Radio Paradise is good
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Paradise

(can't link you to the actual website because we are blocked from these streaming things at work), but this article has a link to the station. It is very eclectic.
