Websites that stream free music?

What are some good websites that stream free music? I used to use Pandora a lot, but obviously that's down the pan now.

Youtube is rubbish, not that keen on last.fm. Any others I'm missing?

grooveshark is good.

Grooveshark?

Ahleckz · 5 Mar 2012 at 11:56

Ah, never used Grooveshark. Will give it a whirl - cheers.

Now what should I listen to? mmm.

Why don't you stream from a homeserver using owncloud?

Oh, that looks really good. Is it particularly complicated to set up? I know nothing about php/mysql and the like...

Not hard at all,I think it sets up the database for you. All you need is a root account for mysql.

Depending on your taste, digitally imported is what I use

I've seen we7 being recommended a few times. Never tried it myself but it's got to be worth a punt.

Grooveshark while it still exists, the major lawsuits it has will see it shut down soon enough sadly

Really? Will i get my annual subscription fee back?

Edit: Doesn't matter it ends in April anyway, just set it to non-reoccuring. Thanks for the heads up!

You could find an internet radio station you liked?

Another vote for Digitally Imported, have my earphones in with their Trance channel on most days at work

This has been quite a common thing where artists' music has appeared on the site and any take down requests have been ignored.

Cheers, Grooveshark fits my needs perfectly. Surprised I haven't used it before.
