I listen to online radio while at work. I used to listen to Pandora, but the variety wasn't what I was really looking for. I discovered a new to me online station through one of my brick and mortar radio stations. It is called Slacker radio.
What is unique about Slacker radio is the variety on its stations. If you choose say alternative, you can either go with the general sense of the word or drill down to a specific style of alternative. Or you can type in a band name and it will create a station with bands that are similar to that band. (Just like Pandora in this sense.) But how it differs from Pandora is the songs are both old and new. Some I've heard of some I haven't. Which is cool. I can discover new music this way. Slacker can either be enjoyed as a basic free service with advertisements or a premium service without ads and unlimited skips/stations.
You can also purchase a player (Slacker G2) from Best Buy or at the site itself that downloads your top 25 stations and you can play them away from your computer. It has 4 GB of storage. The player can be used just like on your computer. So if you want to skip a song you can. You can also rate which songs you like and which you don't. Then I suppose it gets adjusted next time you login to your computer and update the player. Awesome. Here's the website: Slacker Radio
