[olug] Music Service Recommendations

[Ben Dinger]

There have been some excellent recommendations from the group, and let me add a couple.  First, it's really hard to find ANY legal music download service that's Linux-friendly (it seems).  Shame on Apple big time for that one, IMHO, they have pretty much ignored the OSS community after becoming such a big supporter of it. 

That being said, I'm a huge fan of Internet radio.  My personal favorites are Indie Pop Rocks (somafm.com - they have a ton of other channels) and Radio Wazee (www.wazee.org) - but there is just, well, a ton of them out there. 

Both are xmms friendly, and i've even been hearing really good things about the latest real player for Linux.  Might be an alternative, as maybe Real will decide to open up Rhapsody to Linux users. 

Anyway, good luck!
