Internet Radio... Yay!

Instead of posting a new tune, I will mention another resource for you folks who enjoy listening to stations on the Internet.

It's been news as of late that there may be a resolution to the controversy concerning the idea that royalties from the songs played on sites such as Pandora would become so expensive that most of the sites would have to shut down. Let's all cross our fingers in the hope that it passes and all these services are able to stay alive.

Another site I discovered that plays streaming music for free is Deezer. I stumbled across it by happenstance while looking for something else. I signed up and for the most part I enjoy it. You can create playlists and from an incredible selection of tunes you can pick as many as you like and stick them in your playlist; the sound is almost CD-quality.

I wasn't thrilled when during one occasion the site crashed my Google Crome browser and, more frighteningly, another occasion I was given the warning that a page on the site contained malware, but I hope that was just unfortunate glitches, and by this point everything will be fine. You can try it for yourself and hopefully you'll experience no problems yourself.

I'll be back on Friday night the 10th, and this time I will have a new tune to post.
