I love my cable modem. I spend much of the day listening to Dublab on an 80k stream which is interesting.
Those of you who've heard me rant will know that I think Internet radio is a stupid idea. The reason I like this is that they tend to play my kinda music. The reason I think Internet radio is so silly an idea is proven through this. Judging by the number of people in the chatroom of Dublab, I'm one of very few people actually tuning in.
The future of online audio isn't someone else selecting music for you... The person who managed to convince the record companies of this will make a lot of money.
