OT: Internet Radio Stations

[Atrocities]

Ok I fire up Windows Media Player and run through the list of radio stations I can listen too and pick one. I start to listen to the radio station and my spyware pest killer starts to go bonkers. Beep, beep, beep, beep.... on and on and on. So I change stations, same thing. I change again and again and again and always the same thing.

The pests are: DoubleClick, Fastclick, advertsing, servedby, and many many more.

Why do they do this? Why do they want to infest my computer with their spyware uber crap!

And is there a station that I can listen to that won't do this?

Solution: uninstall WMP.

Thanks for that tip, but what about winamp? Does it have radio stations? If so how do you access them. Remember I am computer dumb.

[Fyron]

Yes, it does. Right click somewhere on Winamp. Click on Library in the context menu. Then, go to the Internet Radio section.

Cool thanks Fyron.

I like accuradio.com - in particular the brit rock channel.

Another option is to look for radio station websites that play the music you like, like edge 102 in Toronto or whatever.
