TUN3R

Internet radio has taken a lot of heat from the music industry recently, but truthfully, what doesn't kill Internet radio only makes it stronger. Despite the fact that some stations have been threatened by legal action, many others have continued on in their course of broadcasting music online to the masses, which is great to see. You may already have a number of preconceived ideas about what online radio is and how you access it, but even though that may be so, I'm sure that you'll be interested by the approach that TUN3R is taking.

One of the coolest things about this service is the initial flood of squares that you see once you arrive at the site. Each of these squares represents an online radio station, and to get a sense of what these stations are like, all you have to do is drag the orange needle around, and you'll hear the current content from the stations play through your speakers. The experience is very similar to using a radio dial, and even though it's online, you'll still feel old school. The stations have a list of songs that have been a part of their playlists, and this means that you can search for an artist that you like, and in turn, you'll find stations that have played music from that artist, and you can see what else is on their playlists in order to find out if those stations are worth listening to. This is definitely a great way to discover new online radio streams.
