Do any of you listen to the radio via your PC? This was one of the first things I discovered about Windows Media Player back in the days when I bought my first computer. It's great because you can listen to radio stations you wouldn't otherwise have access to.

I do and I agree it's so cool to listen to whatever station you want to. I can't get a lot of stations on my radio (live in the country) but I can get them all online.
When I got my first iPod, and therefore started using iTunes, I was thrilled to discover that you can use iTunes to listen to various radio stations. My favorites are those that play 70's music, 80's music, and disco tunes!
I like listening to Internet Radio. You get a much better selection of stations you like than you would listening to local radio. It seems like local radios have tons of country and talk stations, a couple of hip-hop, one oldies, one rock, one alternative... Basically, you have a lot more options when you listen to internet radio.
I have to agree on the Internet radio. I once stumbled onto a Jazz station with excellent programming, and it was out of some hard-to-pronounce country in Europe somewhere. It's worth looking to find one with good programming.
