This is a very good list! I wasn’t aware of the existence of some of these sites but it’s good to know the variety that exists online for radio stations.
Thanks for taking the time to find and share them with us.

.-= Gil Pizano´s last blog ..64 Great Sites and Articles on Diversity and Appreciating Differences =-.
Are sites like Slacker, Last.fm, and Pandora unavailable in China? Cuz those are the ones I stick to.
.-= Tamahome Jenkins´s last blog ..April Fools’ Pranks, Jokes, and Ruses Throughout History =-.
@Tamahome Jenkins Slacker and Pandora are only available in US, and Last.fm is not free as I known.
One of the best lists of internet radio I have discovered. It is refreshing to see something else written besides Pandora.
I would have to agree with your Top 3 but I find 1Club.fm’s website much better than 1.fm’s and 181.fm’s.
My top 3 would be: 1Club.fm, 181.fm and 1.fm (as far as music programming and station variety)
Overall thank you for this list. super article!
Folks wake up….1Club.fm is the worldwide leader in free internet radio….this company has been at it for 10 years. If you want the best, go to this site…I’m telling you it’s the bomb…they just redid their site and when it’s completed, it’ll make the other sites look like a bunch of cheap rookies. AND IT’S FREE!
@Jeremy miller You are right, Pandora is nice, but it’s only workable for US. And regarding the Top3, I can agree with you, but those 10 online radio stations are just sorted by their name.
@Dizzle I can see you are a big fan of 1Club.fm.
Actually last.fm is free, I use it all the time in my personal time. I enjoy it better than Pandora (which now has video and audio adds incorporated into their website, which I don’t like, I used to listen to them all the time, prior to them having video & audio advertisements)
@E Really? But last.fm is $3.00 per month here China, after 30 free songs.
Yep Last.Fm in the USA is free for most stuff, you can buy a premium account that lets you store song/make yer own stations, but to just listen its free as can be.
