I know this has been mentioned before but do you listen to and enjoy Internet Radio?

I do. I have an inexpensive subwoofer system and I replaced the cruddy 3" desktop speakers with my old Lafayette Criterion 3 way Hifi speakers, the old fashioned kind 12" d x 14" wide x 24" high that do not take a lot of power to drive.

It sounds great and creates a pleasant atmosphere for doing computer "work".

While on the computer I fire up an extra browser and tune into AOL Radio or any of the hundreds of other stations on the net and it streams in in the background while I do other things.

Right now my favorite is http://player.radio.com/player/AOLPlayer.php?version=1.1.9824&station=916

If you don't like that one or if the link don't work, just go to http://music.aol.com/radioguide/bb and click on Decades on the left then Super 70's at the bottom or whatever genre you like
