The Music Web FAQ

What do I need to listen to music online?

To stream music off the internet without downloading it, you need a computer, access to the internet, and a media player. Some of the more common media players include Quicktime, Real Media Player, and Windows Media Player. You can download these and many others for free at download.com. 

Once you have all these, you simply need to visit any website that offers streaming audio. Many bands, artists and labels let you stream songs, and takehomemusic.com has compiled a list of continuously streaming web radio stations: http://www.takehomemusic.com/web_radio_links.html. 

Many “real world” broadcast radio stations broadcast on the web as well. To find them, visit radio-locator.com, which has “links to over 10,000 radio station web pages and over 2500 audio streams from radio stations in the U.S. and around the world.” (http://www.radio-locator.com)
