Three Internet Radio Providers that you can try on

Pandora

This is a well known Internet radio site that has a massive collection of new and old songs under its data base. It is also easy to use and navigate with. The only concern is that its service is limited to certain country only.

Slacker

When you are looking for millions and millions of songs, then this Internet radio page are what you need. The unique thing about this page is the fact that its homepage does not have any song or thumbnails that is been showed. What is shown is a search bar where you can key in your preferred song or artist then a list of all related mp3’s will be showed. Again the only issue about this Internet Radio provider is that it only serves a limited number of countries just like the first webpage that we discussed.

Spotify

Another known Internet radio provider is Spotify, this website also caters huge number of song collection which covers all type of music genre. However, to get access to its full service a registration is required, and its premium service requires a payment. Its service is also limited in some countries only.

Except the three Internet radio providers I mention above, there are many other options available for you to listen to various radio stations of different genres. Anyway, whatever Internet radio you listen to, you can record it successfully with this streaming radio recorder by referring to the ways I introduce.
